A structured scalp ritual built around PTT-6, a protein extract designed to signal the cells around the follicle rather than simply feed them.
CALECIM Professional comes out of CellResearch Corporation, a Singapore company that has spent roughly two decades on stem cell science and holds patents on its extraction method across dozens of territories. It began in medical research and moved into professional skincare and haircare from there.
The active is called PTT-6. It is a protein-rich extract taken from the lining of donated umbilical cords, containing growth factors, cytokines and other signalling proteins. Nothing live ends up in the bottle. What reaches your scalp is the protein mixture, not cells.
That distinction matters for how it fits a plan. Most scalp products work on the conditions around the follicle. This one is aimed at the conversation between cells.
The supporting products exist so the serum is not landing on a congested scalp or being undone between appointments.
Clears product, oil and buildup from around the follicle opening so the serum is not sitting on top of a blockage.
The centre of the routine. Supplied in ampoules and worked into the scalp, usually with a derma stamp, on the brand's twice-weekly protocol.
A nutrient mist used after treatment, intended to calm irritation and keep the scalp comfortable between sessions.
The everyday cleanse, formulated for scalp balance and for supporting the strand rather than stripping it.
Breakage defence. Hair lost to snapping mid-shaft counts just as much as hair lost at the root, and it is easier to prevent.
Rarely all of them at once. The analysis decides what your scalp is actually short of before anything is recommended.
CALECIM does not treat its serum as a daily-forever product. The brand's protocol runs an intensive phase of twice-weekly applications, then steps down to a weekly maintenance rhythm, and people cycle between the two over time.
That structure is useful in practice. It gives a defined window to judge against, rather than an open-ended routine you are never sure is working. We photograph the scalp at the same angles each visit so the comparison is something you can look at.
The brand publishes its own clinical work on the serum, reporting reduced inflammation around the follicle and increases in follicle cell activity and hair shaft thickness across a six-week protocol. Those are manufacturer studies, which is worth knowing when you weigh them.
Clinical figures referenced here are the manufacturer's own published results. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed. CALECIM products are cosmetic and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Speak with your physician about any medical cause of hair loss.
Hair thins for different reasons, and the reason decides the tool. Pattern loss driven by DHT calls for something aimed at that hormone. A scalp that is inflamed and congested needs clearing before anything else will land. Shedding that started after an illness, a birth, or a stretch of real stress often needs time and support more than it needs a strong active.
CALECIM is the option we reach for when the goal is to support the follicle's own activity, and it sits alongside the rest of what Shawn carries rather than replacing it.
Which is why nothing gets recommended before the trichoscope comes out. Looking first is cheaper than guessing for six months.
See How Scalp Analysis WorksCALECIM Professional is a line developed by CellResearch Corporation, a Singapore company that has spent two decades working on stem cell science. PTT-6 is its proprietary active, a protein-rich extract taken from umbilical cord lining stem cells. Rather than a single growth factor, it is a mixture of proteins, growth factors and cytokines intended to signal the cells around the follicle.
From the lining of donated umbilical cords, which the company describes as an ethically sourced material. Nothing in the finished product is a live cell. What goes onto your scalp is the protein extract, not cells themselves.
It comes in ampoules and is worked into the scalp, typically with a derma stamp so the serum reaches past the surface. The brand's protocol runs twice weekly through an initial treatment phase, then drops to a weekly maintenance rhythm.
Most of the line-up works on the environment around the follicle, whether that is blocking DHT, clearing congestion, or supplying nutrients. CALECIM is aimed at signalling instead. In practice these are not competitors, and a plan often uses more than one.
The brand publishes its own clinical work reporting reductions in follicle inflammation and increases in follicle cell activity and hair shaft thickness over a six-week protocol. Those are manufacturer studies rather than independent trials, and results vary from person to person. We would rather tell you that up front.
Yes. The cleanser, shampoo, conditioner and activating mist are built to sit around the serum as a daily and weekly routine. Shawn will tell you which pieces you actually need based on what your scalp analysis shows, rather than the whole shelf.
