Phononic acoustic scalp microbiome modulation platform
An innovative platform utilizing phononic acoustic technology for the modulation of scalp microbiomes, specifically targeting dysbiotic biofilms without the use of chemical actives. Ideal for Type 3-4 hair and low-wash conditions.
Overview
The Phononic Acoustic Scalp Microbiome Modulation Platform is a cutting-edge technology designed to address scalp microbiome imbalances in individuals with Type 3-4 hair, particularly under low-wash conditions. This platform leverages frequency-selective acoustic delivery to disrupt dysbiotic biofilms and quorum-sensing pathways without the use of chemical actives. It is compatible with heavy leave-on products and does not require rinsing, making it suitable for protective hairstyles.
Technical specifications
Key features:
- Utilizes low-intensity, non-focused ultrasound to disrupt biofilms, achieving greater than 3 log reduction in C. acnes biofilm without cell toxicity.
- Targets polymicrobial biofilms involving C. acnes, Malassezia, and S. aureus in follicular niches.
- Compatible with extended-wear conditions and protective styles, ensuring efficacy with heavy oils, butters, and polymers.
- The platform aims to optimize delivery parameters for effective scalp microbiome modulation.
Technology readiness level
Currently, the technology is at TRL 2, indicating that it is in the early stages of development. The proposal outlines a structured plan for further validation, including in vitro and ex vivo testing to optimize the technology for real-world applications. Future phases include co-development for prototype devices and licensing for commercial integration.
