Medtech: Indian Invention Recognized as Breakthrough Hair Transplant Therapy Delivering 43% Better Results

In a significant leap forward for hair restoration science, QR678 Neo®, a next-generation, patented, Indian-developed biomimetic peptide formulation, has been clinically validated through a global study on hair transplant surgery,  published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy. The international trial, involving 112 men with advanced hair loss, was led by experts from India, the USA, and Malaysia, and confirms that QR678 Neo® delivers 43% better graft survival, fuller regrowth, and visibly improved hair quality than conventional transplant methods.

“What stood out in this study was not just the improvement in hair regrowth, but the consistency of results across patients and clinical settings. We’re seeing a clear shift — biologically active therapies like QR678 Neo® can support graft survival in ways that traditional methods simply haven’t. That’s a meaningful step forward for the field and for patients who’ve long faced unpredictable outcomes from hair restoration procedures.” — Dr. Michael H. Gold, Lead Investigator and Director, Gold Skin Care Center, USA.

Features

• QR678 Neo® is a patented peptide therapy developed and clinically tested in India, and now also patented in the United States.
• Traditional storage mediums for extracted hair follicles, like cold saline, provide only temporary preservation and lack biological activity, often leaving grafts vulnerable to damage. Unlike such adjuncts — including saline or PRP — which offer only temporary support to hair follicles, QR678 Neo® plays an active biological role throughout the transplant process.
• Administered in three stages — before, during, and after surgery — the therapy nourishes the scalp, protects grafts, and supports post-operative recovery. By mimicking the body’s natural growth factors with a proprietary blend of biomimetic peptides, it creates a regenerative environment that improves follicle survival, accelerates healing, and enhances the density and quality of regrown hair.
• Even with state-of-the-art Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) techniques, a key challenge remains poor graft survival rates, often resulting in patchy regrowth, inconsistent outcomes, and the need for repeat procedures. QR678 Neo® directly addresses this challenge by providing complete follicular support at all three stages of the transplant — rejuvenating the donor area, protecting extracted grafts, and enhancing transplanted hair regrowth.
• This breakthrough addresses one of the long-standing challenges in hair restoration: poor graft survival.
