Invoke Professional Strength · Rx Compounded · PG-Free Formula · Licensed Pharmacy
A clinically formulated multi-active topical spray combining 5% Minoxidil, Dutasteride, Tretinoin, Biotin, Caffeine, and Melatonin in a PG-free formula — designed for men experiencing androgenic alopecia, hair thinning, and scalp health concerns.
What is The Scalp DS?
The Invoke Scalp DS is a professionally compounded topical hair loss spray that delivers six pharmaceutical actives directly to the scalp in a single, convenient spray. Formulated without propylene glycol, it maximises follicular stimulation and reduces scalp DHT levels while enhancing drug absorption — all with better scalp tolerance than standard PG-based minoxidil formulas.
Compounded and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy under License # 05-352-0070-103341P, The Scalp DS is a prescription-grade empirical therapy for managing androgenic alopecia and supporting overall scalp health.
The key difference between The Scalp DS and The Scalp DS Pro is the concentration of actives — DS uses 5% Minoxidil and 0.1% Dutasteride, making it the recommended starting point before stepping up to the higher-strength DS Pro formula.
Active Ingredients
- Minoxidil 5% — Vasodilator that widens scalp blood vessels, stimulates hair follicles, and extends the anagen (active growth) phase
- Dutasteride 0.1% — Dual 5α-reductase inhibitor that blocks both Type I and Type II DHT production directly at the scalp
- Tretinoin 0.01% — Improves skin permeability and enhances absorption of all co-applied active ingredients into the follicle
- Biotin 0.2% — Essential B7 vitamin that nourishes hair follicles and strengthens the hair shaft from root to tip
- Caffeine 0.05% — Stimulates follicle cell metabolism and counteracts DHT-induced miniaturisation of the hair follicle
- Melatonin 0.1% — Scalp antioxidant that protects follicles from oxidative damage and supports a healthy hair growth cycle
- Other ingredients: Aqua (Water), Ethanol, DMI (Dimethyl Isosorbide)
Key Benefits
- Stimulates dormant hair follicles and promotes stronger, denser hair regrowth
- Reduces scalp DHT levels — addressing the hormonal root cause of androgenic alopecia
- Enhances penetration of all actives deep into the hair follicle via Tretinoin and DMI
- Nourishes the scalp and follicles with Biotin, Caffeine, and Melatonin
- PG-free formula delivers better scalp tolerance with reduced irritation and redness
- Minimises systemic side effects compared to oral-only hair loss treatments
- Clinically validated combination for androgenic alopecia management
Who Is It For?
The Scalp DS is ideal for men experiencing early to moderate male pattern baldness (Norwood Scale II–IV), general hair thinning at the crown or temples, hair loss alongside scalp sensitivity or mild seborrheic conditions, or those starting a topical hair loss treatment for the first time. It is also the recommended entry point for those who want the benefits of dutasteride without the higher concentration of the DS Pro formula.
How to Use
Step 1 — Prep your scalp. Apply only to a clean, dry scalp to ensure maximum absorption and effectiveness of all active ingredients.
Step 2 — Spray directly onto scalp. Apply 6 sprays to the thinning areas — crown, vertex, and hairline. Hold the bottle close to the scalp for direct delivery.
Step 3 — Massage gently. Work the solution into the scalp with your fingertips for 1–2 minutes to ensure even distribution. Wash hands immediately after with soap and water.
Step 4 — Do not rinse. Leave the solution on the scalp. Do not shampoo or wet hair for at least 4 hours after application.
Step 5 — Apply twice daily. Use once in the morning and once at night, approximately 12 hours apart.
Step 6 — Stay consistent. Use every day for a minimum of 3 months before evaluating results. Hair regrowth cannot be achieved with irregular use.
Dosage: As directed by your physician.
What to Expect
Weeks 1–4: Some increased shedding may occur as hair follicles transition into a new growth cycle. This is a normal and expected part of the treatment process — do not stop using the product during this phase.
Months 1–3: Shedding gradually reduces and stabilises. Fine new hairs may begin to appear at the hairline and crown area.
Months 3–6: Visible improvement in hair density and thickness becomes apparent in the treated areas with consistent twice-daily use.
Month 6 onwards: Continued use maintains and builds on regrowth results. Stopping treatment will gradually reverse gains over time.
