SCIENTIFIX AND EXOTROPIN join forces TO LAUNCH a solution to
address the growing unmet need for Hair loss
The Two Research-Driven Companies To Launch Their New Hair Treatment System At National Conference For Medical Aesthetics
FT. LAUDERDALE, Florida, November 13, 2024 – ZEO ScientifiX, Inc. (“ZEO” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: ZEOX), a South Florida-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced it has partnered with its affiliate, Exotropin, LLC, a privately-held company which produces cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and other consumer products—to design and deliver a hair growth solution for people who have considered hair transplant surgery. The companies will introduce their first planned collaborative product, ZEO HAIR GROW™ Powered By Exotropin™, at the Medical Aesthetics Professionals (MAP) meeting being held in Scottsdale, Arizona, from November 14 - 16, 2024.
“Hair loss is becoming more prevalent for both women as well as men. According to the 2020 Practice Census published by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, it is estimated that 35 million men and 31 million women in the United States are affected,” said Robin Smith, MD, MBA, co-founder of Exotropin. “Because there are many causes of hair loss, including stress, one’s microbiome, hormones, pathogens, inflammations, temperature, genetic predisposition, the environment, and even hairstyles, it is critical to approach hair loss from multiple angles and help optimize the scalp with a nutrient-rich environment to support healthy hair growth.”
Dr. Smith explains that ZEO HAIR GROW™ powered by Exotropin™ is a formulated hair system designed for physicians by physicians and scientists that combines the synergistic and complementary power of extracellular vesicles derived from amniotic fluid, adipose stromal cells, and the aloe vera plant to optimize the health of the scalp and encourage a thicker, fuller head of hair.
Essential to the success of the ZEO HAIR GROW™ powered by the Exotropin™ system is the science of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and additional clinically proven ingredients that carry benefits to address the entire hair growth cycle and support skin and hair health. According to Dr. Smith, hair loss is multifactorial, and a true solution to address hair loss must be as well. What is necessary or essential at each phase of the hair growth cycle is not the same, and a comprehensive solution must address the scalp, hair follicles, and hair density, thickness and texture in order to improve the condition and appearance of hair.
The multipart system includes two in-office components consisting of ZEO GROW X™ and ZEO GROW BOOST™, and EXO FOLLICLE FUEL™, which patients use at home twice a day to fortify and maintain both the scalp and hair.
Attendees of the MAP Meeting can learn more about ZEO HAIR GROW™ Powered By Exotropin™ by visiting ZEO in the exhibition area of the conference at Booth 609.
In addition, Dr. Smith will present to the medical aesthetic professionals in attendance, detailing the product’s science, development, and application.
