R&D Projects
1. [Anti-Aging Hair Epidemiology Research] Identifying the Mechanisms of Maintaining Voluminous Hair in Advanced Age
We are conducting in-depth studies using a sample group of individuals over the age of 70 who still maintain healthy, voluminous hair. By analyzing their dietary habits, lifestyle patterns, underlying diseases, and family histories from multiple angles, we aim to uncover the hidden secrets behind "delaying hair follicle aging" and "long-term hair retention," and integrate these findings into preventive medicine.
2. [Combination Therapy Synergy Research] Overcoming the Limitations of Long-term Hair Loss Medication and Promoting Regeneration
This research targets patient groups who have been taking conventional male pattern hair loss medications (such as Finasteride/Dutasteride) for over 4 years, resulting in tolerance or a plateau where further hair growth is no longer expected. We clinically compare and study the hair regeneration and growth "Booster" effects that occur when Dr. Lee’s "SH-1 (Super Hair-1: Body Recoding Core)" is co-administered to these patients.
3. [Post-Surgery Microenvironment Research] Developing Solutions to Maximize Hair Transplant Graft Survival Rates
The success of a hair transplant surgery ultimately depends on the "Engraftment Rate" (Survival Rate). By optimizing the scalp's microenvironment before and after surgery and inducing blood supply and cell regeneration, we are researching innovative conservative therapies that allow the transplanted hair follicles to take root as stably as possible.
4. [Female Endocrine Hair Loss Research] Hormonal Balancing for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Patients
We are conducting clinical observations on female hair loss patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) by administering "SH-1 (Super Hair-1)." We aim to prove its efficacy in normalizing the imbalance between female and male hormones, and improving menstrual cycles and hair loss symptoms, using only natural herbal ingredients without relying on artificial chemical hormones.
5. [New Drug Material R&D] Developing the 12th Patented Composition Based on Native Korean Plants
We are researching new natural materials that promote hair growth and strengthen scalp immunity by extracting specialized oils from endemic plants growing in Korea's pristine nature. Having completed efficacy verification, we are currently in the final stages of preparation for our "12th Patent Registration."
6. [Digital Healthcare] Developing an AI-based Hair Loss Diagnosis and Prediction System
We are developing a system that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to precisely analyze scalp/hair photo data and medical questionnaire responses provided by patients. Through this, we can objectively diagnose the current progression of hair loss and predict future changes, offering the most optimized, customized treatments and management strategies to patients worldwide, without the constraints of time or location.
