FAQs
How does The Scalp Edit N°001 work?
The Scalp Edit N°001 is a dual protocol designed to support the biology of the scalp, not just the appearance of the hair strand. Step 01 is a daily microbiome serum formulated to support microbial balance on the scalp. Step 02 is a weekly senolytic microneedle treatment designed to support the aging scalp environment and target the pathways associated with senescent cell activity.
Do I need to use both steps together?
Yes. The system is designed as a dual protocol because scalp aging is not driven by one factor alone. The daily serum supports the scalp microbiome, while the weekly microneedle treatment targets senescent cell signaling and helps deliver the formula directly to the scalp environment. Each step addresses a different force behind hair longevity.
Can I use this on wet or freshly washed hair?
Both steps are formulated for a clean, dry scalp. Applying the serum or microneedle treatment to wet hair may dilute absorption and make it harder for the formula to reach the scalp directly.
Do I rinse either product out?
No. Both the daily serum and weekly microneedle treatment are leave-on formulas. Do not rinse after application.
How long until I see results?
Scalp biology is individual, and visible changes build with consistent use over time. This is a scalp longevity system, not an overnight fix. The goal is to support a healthier scalp environment that is more conducive to fuller, stronger, healthier-looking hair over time.
Can I use this if I have not noticed thinning yet?
Yes. Earlier is easier. The Scalp Edit N°001 is designed to support the follicle environment before visible changes become more pronounced, while still being suitable for scalps already showing signs of change. It is a proactive approach to scalp health and hair longevity.
Will this work faster if I use it more than directed?
No. More frequent microneedling is not more effective and may irritate the scalp. Stick to the once-weekly microneedle protocol and daily serum use as directed.
Is this safe for color-treated or chemically processed hair?
Yes. Both formulas are applied to the scalp, not the hair shaft, and are suitable for color-treated, keratin-treated, or chemically processed hair.
Can I use this if I have a sensitive scalp?
The formulas are designed to be gentle, but as with any active scalp treatment, we recommend patch testing before your first full use if you have a history of scalp sensitivity.
Is this safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
We recommend consulting your physician before starting any new active treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Can I use this alongside Minoxidil or other prescribed hair loss treatments?
The Scalp Edit N°001 is formulated to support the scalp environment and may complement existing routines. If you are using Minoxidil or any prescribed hair loss treatment, consult your dermatologist before adding any new topical scalp product.
Can I reuse the microneedle vials?
No. Each microneedle vial is designed for single use only to avoid contamination and maintain the integrity of the treatment.
Is this a hair product or a scalp product?
The Scalp Edit N°001 is a scalp-first system. It is formulated for the biology surrounding the follicle, not the cosmetic coating of the hair shaft. The scalp is skin, and this protocol is designed to support the scalp microbiome, aging scalp environment, and follicle conditions that contribute to healthier-looking hair.
What does “senolytic” mean?
Senolytic refers to ingredients selected for their association with senescent cell activity. Senescent cells, sometimes called “zombie cells,” can accumulate with age and release inflammatory signals into surrounding tissue. The Regen Shot was formulated to address this aging scalp pathway as part of the weekly microneedle step.
Why does the scalp microbiome matter for hair?
The scalp has its own microbiome: a living ecosystem of microorganisms that helps shape the environment around the follicle. When the scalp microbiome is disrupted by age, stress, hormones, buildup, or harsh products, the follicle may not be living in the most supportive conditions. The Scalp Edit N°001 is designed to support microbial balance as part of a healthier-looking scalp environment.
How is this different from a traditional hair growth serum?
Most hair growth products focus on the hair strand or a single growth pathway. The Scalp Edit N°001 is different because it approaches hair longevity through the scalp as skin. It combines daily microbiome support with weekly senolytic microneedling to address the follicle environment from multiple angles.
How is this different from a scalp oil?
The Scalp Edit N°001 is not a scalp oil. It is a dual protocol made with a daily microbiome serum and a weekly microneedle treatment. The focus is not cosmetic shine or temporary conditioning. The focus is supporting the scalp ecosystem and aging scalp environment where the follicle lives.
Does the daily serum make hair greasy?
The daily serum is formulated for the scalp and designed to be lightweight. Apply a small amount directly to areas of concern and massage into the scalp for even distribution. Because it is not an oil-based treatment, it should not leave the hair feeling heavy when used as directed.
Who is it for?
The Scalp Edit N°001 is for anyone looking to support a healthier scalp environment and more resilient-looking hair over time. It is especially relevant for those noticing changes in density, texture, shedding, scalp health, or the visible effects of aging on the hair and scalp.
Is this formulated for a specific hair type or texture?
No. The system targets the scalp’s biology, not the hair shaft, so it is formulated to work across hair types and textures.
Is this only for women, or can men use it too?
The Scalp Edit N°001 is formulated for scalp biology, not gender. It is suitable for anyone looking to support the scalp environment and healthier-looking hair.
How long does one kit last?
Each kit includes one 30mL Follicle Culture Microbiome Serum, designed to last roughly one month with daily use, and four single-use Regen Shot microneedle vials for the weekly treatment step.
