How Cool Jet Plasma Works 

​

Scientific Explanation: How the CoolJet Device Works for Hair Growth        

The CoolJet device utilizes Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) combined with electroporation to influence the scalp at a cellular and follicular level. These technologies work synergistically to improve scalp health, follicle signaling, and treatment efficacy.

1. Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP)Cold plasma is an ionized gas generated at low temperatures, making it safe for contact with living tissue. It produces reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which act as biological signaling molecules.

 Key biological effects of CAP on the scalp:

 • Anti-inflammatory modulation CAP helps regulate inflammatory pathways, which is critical because chronic scalp inflammation is a major contributor to follicular miniaturization and telogen effluvium.

 • Antimicrobial activity The reactive species disrupt bacterial and fungal cell membranes, helping reduce microbial overgrowth associated with conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis—without harming healthy human cells.  

• Improved microcirculation & oxygenation CAP stimulates nitric oxide (NO) release, promoting vasodilation and increased blood flow to the scalp. This enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to hair follicles.

• Cellular stimulation & repair Low-dose reactive species stimulate keratinocytes and fibroblasts, supporting tissue regeneration and extracellular matrix health, both of which are essential for a functional follicular environment.

2. Electroporation Electroporation uses short, controlled electrical pulses to temporarily increase the permeability of the cell membrane.  

Why this matters for hair growth:  

• Enhanced transdermal delivery It creates transient aqueous channels in the scalp, allowing active ingredients (growth factors, peptides, stem-cell-derived serums, exosomes, etc.) to penetrate deeper into the dermis where the hair follicle bulb and dermal papilla reside.  

• Increased cellular uptake Follicular cells can absorb therapeutic compounds more efficiently, increasing treatment efficacy without needles or trauma.  

• ATP and cellular signaling support  Electrical stimulation has been shown to influence mitochondrial activity and ATP production, supporting cellular energy and follicle metabolism.

3. Combined Effect on Hair Follicles  

When cold plasma and electroporation are used together, the CoolJet device:  

• Creates a clean, low-inflammation scalp environment

• Enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery

• Improves cell signaling and follicular responsiveness.

• Maximizes absorption of topical growth-stimulating compounds.

This combination supports follicles in re-entering and sustaining the anagen (growth) phase, while protecting against inflammatory and microbial stressors that impair hair growth.
