Hair restoration is most effective when approached through multiple pathways. While in-clinic treatments such as PRP, microneedling, exosomes, Minoxidil, and LLLT target specific mechanisms of hair growth, nutritional support plays a parallel role in follicle performance and hair-shaft integrity.
Targeted supplementation can help address underlying nutrient needs, support the hair growth cycle, and reinforce clinical results, especially in patients with diffuse thinning or long-term shedding patterns. Among these nutritional approaches, AminoMar™, the proprietary marine complex in Viviscal PRO, remains one of the most researched ingredients for supporting existing hair growth.
AminoMar™ is a blend of marine-derived proteins originally identified in research studying diets associated with strong, healthy hair. Its composition provides the building blocks required for keratin production: a key factor in developing stronger, thicker hair strands.
Research on AminoMar™ has shown:
- Improved hair thickness
- Increase in the number of terminal hairs
- Support for existing growth over multiple hair cycles
In professional settings, AminoMar™ is often used to complement in-clinic treatments by nourishing the follicle from within, helping patients build resilience throughout the growth cycle.
Viviscal PRO supplements combine AminoMar™ with additional nutrients relevant to clinical hair restoration:
Biotin: Supports keratin infrastructure and hair-shaft strength, especially valuable in patients experiencing breakage or brittle texture.
Vitamin C: Acts as an antioxidant and supports collagen formation in the dermal papilla. Useful for patients undergoing microneedling, PRP, or exosome therapy, as collagen quality influences follicle support structures.
Apple Extract (Procyanidin B2): Associated with supporting the anagen (growth) phase.
Viviscal PRO and AminoMar pair well with treatments like Minoxidil and PRP that also work to extend or stimulate anagen activity.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP stimulates follicular regeneration and improves vascular supply. AminoMar™ supports the recovery environment by providing proteins and nutrients needed during active regrowth phases.
Microneedling & Exosome Therapy
These treatments rely on cell signalling and tissue repair. Nutrient support helps maintain healthy keratin production and reduces vulnerability of new growth.
Minoxidil (Rogaine)
Minoxidil increases blood flow and extends anagen. Viviscal PRO supports the structural and nutritional demands created by stimulated follicles, and can be especially helpful for patients experiencing dryness or irritation from topical Minoxidil.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
LLLT enhances cellular activity and ATP production. Supplements reinforce the hair-shaft proteins required to translate this increased activity into visibly thicker, stronger hair.
Post-Transplant Care
Transplanted follicles require stable nutrition during integration.AminoMar™ supports new growth quality and helps strengthen existing, non-transplanted hair, which is crucial for achieving a balanced, natural appearance.
Most clinics align Viviscal PRO supplementation with the natural hair cycle. Starting 4–6 weeks before PRP, microneedling, or transplant procedures. Seeing optimal results after 6 months or more, aligning with full hair-cycle turnover.
This timeline supports anagen stabilization and reinforces new growth initiated by clinical treatments. Targeted nutrition is a foundational pillar in comprehensive hair restoration.
AminoMar™, supported by clinically relevant micronutrients, offers a well-established way to nourish hair internally while integrating seamlessly with regenerative, pharmaceutical, and procedural therapies.
For clinics, combining Viviscal PRO with PRP, Minoxidil, LLLT, microneedling, or transplant care enables a multi-pathway approach that can enhance patient outcomes and promote long-term treatment adherence.
