Meet
Dr. James Kilgour
Board-certified dermatologist.
Stanford-trained. Founder of KilgourMD.
He treats hair loss in private practice in California, and launched KilgourMD in 2023, the first skincare-led brand focused on scalp health.
When menopause stole my mum’s hair, I watched her confidence disappear.
Nothing worked without awful side effects, so I created something that did. Clinically proven to boost visible growth and reduce the signs of shedding, KilgourMD gave my mum thicker hair at 68 than she had at 50.* Now, over 200,000 women have reclaimed not just their hair, but themselves.
As you begin your hair growth journey, I ask for your patience. Hair growth is a slow process, and results take 3-6 months. The renewed feeling of confidence will be worth the wait.
