KilgourMD The System
PRICE: $150 or $127.50 with subscription
SHOP: @kilgourmd.com
Hormonal changes like menopause, childbirth, or weight loss medications don’t just cause hair thinning—they age your scalp up to 10x faster than your face. You could have an 80-year-old scalp before you’re 50. Stanford-trained dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour discovered this after watching his own mother struggle with thinning during menopause. The brittle or thinning hair follicles aren’t the core problem—your scalp is. There was actually a study which showed even dead follicles start growing thick and strong when placed in healthy, young scalp tissue. So these serums are just like anti-aging skincare for your scalp—dermatologist-grade ingredients that reverse accelerated aging and create the healthy, young environment that follicles need. In a clinical trial in menopausal women, this women was proven to visibly reverse hair thinning in just 90 days of daily use.
Luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about intention, precision, and showing up as your most confident self
