BEVERLY HILLS, CA – In a recent feature published by Vogue, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Babak Azizzadeh was featured as one of the expert voices weighing in on peptide-based hair growth products. The article highlights a growing trend in scalp care, where ingredients once reserved for facial skincare are now being applied to support thicker, stronger hair.
Peptides, short chains of amino acids, act as cellular messengers to signal repair and regeneration. Applied to the scalp, they can extend the hair growth phase, strengthen follicles, and improve texture, supporting a healthy scalp foundation for healthy hair.
Dr. Azizzadeh, a dual board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, discussed several peptide formulations reviewed by Vogue. He noted The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum’s proprietary technologiesāRedensyl, Procapil, and Capixylātarget follicle stem cells, strengthen hair, and improve density. He explained that Divi Scalp Serum uses copper tripeptide-1 to extend the growth phase and acetyl tetrapeptide-3 to increase follicle size and anchoring. For the Better Not Younger Superpower+ Serum, he highlighted Procapil’s role in enhancing thickness and reducing thinning.
Dr. Azizzadeh’s insights reflect his expertise in how skin and tissue health affect facial aesthetics, including the scalp, and his commitment to evidence-based guidance on non-surgical treatments that complement surgical care.
