FAQs

Q1. What does Anchorane™ — the key active in Ducray Neoptide Expert Serum — actually do?
A1. Anchorane™ is a proprietary active designed to strengthen the physical anchorage of the hair within the follicle — specifically targeting the weakened connection between the hair bulb and its anchoring proteins that characterises diffuse hair loss. Alongside this, Lespedeza (a plant extract) normalises the hair cycle by extending the anagen (growth) phase and reducing premature entry into the telogen (shedding) phase, and Mangalidone improves scalp microcirculation to increase nutrient and oxygen delivery to active follicles. Silybum Marianum (milk thistle) provides antioxidant protection against the oxidative scalp damage that accelerates follicle ageing.

Q2. How is it different from a minoxidil serum?
A2. Minoxidil works primarily by vasodilation — widening blood vessels to improve blood flow, extending the anagen phase as a downstream effect. Ducray Neoptide Expert Serum uses a different mechanism: Anchorane™ directly addresses follicle anchoring and hair cycle normalisation through distinct biological pathways. The two approaches are complementary — combining them under dermatologist guidance covers both the vascular and structural aspects of hair loss more comprehensively than either alone.

Q3. Is it suitable for both men and women?
A3. Yes — it's formulated for chronic diffuse hair loss in both men and women. For female pattern hair loss (which tends to present as diffuse thinning across the crown rather than recession), Neoptide Expert addresses the growth cycle disruption without the hormonal side effect concerns associated with some male-pattern treatments.

Q4. How do I apply it correctly, and can I rinse it off?
A4. Apply 8 sprays directly to the scalp (not the hair) in the areas of concern. Massage gently with fingertips to ensure penetration into the scalp surface. Do not rinse off — the serum needs scalp contact time. Leave on for at least 2 hours; for overnight use, apply before bed. The lightweight, non-greasy formula doesn't create an unpleasant residue during the leave-on period.

Q5. How long before I see visible results?
A5. Reduction in daily shedding is often the first change, appearing at 6–8 weeks of consistent daily use. Visible improvement in hair density — new growth filling in thinner areas — develops at 3–4 months. The full benefit is typically assessed at 6 months of continuous daily use. Stopping the serum generally leads to gradual return of the previous hair loss pattern.
