Studysummary This study outlined modern approaches for using cosmeceuticals in trichology, emphasizing evidence-based medicine, personalized care, and patient safety. It proposed the H.A.I.R. model as a universal algorithm for trichological programs and suggested new educational and practical tools for specialists in trichology and aesthetic medicine. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.

The document provides scientific and methodological recommendations for using cosmeceuticals in trichological practice, emphasizing evidence-based medicine, personalized treatment, and patient safety. It analyzes hair growth disorders and scalp conditions, systematizes active ingredients in cosmeceuticals, and supports their use in various trichological conditions. The need for standardized trichological programs, individualized cosmeceutical selection, and integration of diagnostics, procedures, and home care is highlighted. The H.A.I.R. model is proposed as a universal algorithm for trichological programs, offering practical protocols and recommendations to enhance effectiveness and predictability. These recommendations serve as a foundation for educational programs, professional training, and practical tools for specialists in trichology and related fields.
