When it comes to trying the latest wellness craze or avant-garde beauty trend, Gwyneth Paltrow has always been the ultimate poster girl.
The Goop founder has opened up about her latest fixation – and it’s all about combating hair loss. The 52-year-old actress revealed she’s been battling persistent hair loss for some time, which has resulted in her experimenting with numerous treatments, including scalp injections, in search of a solution.

However, Gwyneth recently discovered the ultimate treatment that involves a device that uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to stimulate hair growth. “It was completely painless. Honestly, I think my hair’s already feeling a bit fuller,” she admitted.

Gwyneth has been a pioneer in the beauty sphere since founding her wellness company Goop in September 2008.
Gwyneth’s wellness routine

Back in April, Gwyneth detailed her eating habits during an episode of the hit show. “I’m getting back into eating sourdough bread, and some cheese – there, I said it,” she explained. “A little pasta after being strict with it for so long.”
“I went into hardcore macrobiotics for a certain time. That was an interesting chapter where I got kind of obsessed with eating very, very healthily,” she added.
In an interview with Vogue in 2023, Gwyneth shared her morning routine. “The first thing I do is get up. I do Ayurvedic oil pulling and tongue scraping, and then I brush my teeth. After that, I meditate with my husband,” she said.

“I really love a facial massage, [lymphatic] drainage and working the muscles, as opposed to lasers. I’m a little freaked out about using lasers on the face, and I’ve seen weird results on certain people. It feels risky.”
She continued: “Once in a while, I’ll do a facial with red light for inflammation or something like that. We also sell the Lyma laser at Goop – it’s really good and gentle, so I’ll do that.”
