Background: Using shampoo to treat hair loss is studied and used worldwide. Shampoo used in our study composes biotin, nicotinamide, dexpanthenol, zinc pyrithione, herbal ingredients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy in hair thickness and shedding of 24 weeks of treatment with Scalpoo® shampoo. Methods: Total of 30 patients, 15 male pattern hair loss (MPHL) and 15 female pattern hair loss (FPHL) started the 24 week study. Investigator and experts’ assessment score were evaluated by a seven point grading scale ranging from -3 (extremely worsen) to +3 (extremely improved). Results: Scalpoo® shampoo significantly reduced the extent of hair shedding by 43.6% (p<0.05), counted by patients once every week. Hair thickness and hair number measured by Folliscope imaging during 3 visits showed both a significant increase of 11.4% and 20.6% respectively (p<0.05, p<0.05). Investigator’s assessment score evaluated by our institute marked average of 1.17. Investigator’s assessment score evaluated by other institutes’ experts scored 1.37 and 0.87. Conclusion: Scalpoo® shampoo appears to be both satisfying and effective when used for the improvement in hair thickness and shedding for both MPHL and FPHL patients.
