This study investigated the effects of a caffeine-based scalp ampoule combined with Microneedle Therapy System (MTS) on scalp and hair conditions in 10 women in their 40s with hairline alopecia. Over four weeks, the experimental group, which received the caffeine-containing ampoule, showed significant improvements in hair structural indicators such as pore density, number of hairs per pore, hair thickness, and hair volume compared to the control group. Additionally, scalp temperature and sensitivity were reduced, indicating a stabilized scalp environment. However, no significant changes were observed in moisture level, sebum, and odor. These results suggest that the combination of MTS and caffeine ampoule effectively enhances scalp and hair conditions.
