IEL Science Launches New Business with Hair Loss Care Products

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Smart optical solutions company IL Science announced on the 18th that it will officially enter a new business with innovative technology-based hair loss care products.

IL Science has begun clinical trials ahead of the launch of the world's first microcurrent LED scalp care device, 'FOLLINIC,' introduced with patented technology. This trial will verify the effects on scalp blood flow improvement, hair thickness increase, scalp moisturizing, soothing, and elasticity improvement through the dual effects of microcurrent and LED.

Existing hair loss care devices on the market mainly use lasers or LEDs. In contrast, FOLLINIC is the world's first new-concept dual-care product that revitalizes the scalp with 3-wavelength LEDs and stimulates the hair roots, the root of the hair, with microcurrent, managing both the scalp and hair roots simultaneously.

The near-infrared light of the LED improves scalp blood circulation, helping to prevent hair loss, and optical technology that irradiates effective wavelengths onto the skin is crucial. IL Science applied a silicon lens, a core material of its proprietary technology, to FOLLINIC, achieving over 99% optical efficiency and creating the lightest helmet-type scalp care device in Korea (400g), enhancing user convenience.

Additionally, the technology that stimulates hair follicles by allowing microcurrent to flow through the scalp to promote healthy hair was made possible through two patents related to 'hair loss prevention devices using microcurrent' held by the company. Although the microcurrent effect has been mentioned several times in renowned international scientific papers, this is the first time it has been actually applied in a scalp care product.

IL Science is also preparing to launch family products such as toners and shampoos for hair loss care, which can be used together with the device to enhance effectiveness, in cooperation with its affiliate IL Bio. Song Seong-geun, CEO of IL Science, stated, “FOLLINIC, the world's first microcurrent LED scalp care device made by integrating patented microcurrent technology and proprietary LED silicon lenses, will set a new standard in the hair loss market,” adding, “We are preparing for FDA approval in the United States to expand globally, starting with a domestic launch in the second half of the year.”
