Exosome Hair Growth Stimulation
Hair loss is one of the most common reasons people see a trichologist or cosmetologist. The causes vary — hormonal changes, chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, age-related thinning — but the outcome is similar: the hair follicle weakens, the active growth phase shortens, hair becomes thinner, and eventually falls out prematurely.
Why Hair Thins and Falls Out
Most forms of hair loss are rooted in follicle miniaturization: under the influence of hormones, inflammation, and reduced local blood supply, the hair bulb gradually shrinks, and the hair it produces becomes shorter and thinner with each growth cycle. Over time, some follicles enter a "dormant" state and stop producing hair altogether.
How Exosomes Act on the Hair Follicle
Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes contain growth factors and microRNA that, when introduced into the scalp, reach the dermal papilla cells — the cells that govern the hair growth cycle. The exosome signal extends the active growth phase (anagen), improves local blood supply to the follicle, and reduces the chronic inflammation around the hair bulb that interferes with its normal function.
How Exosome Therapy Differs From PRP
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a method with variable composition: the concentration of growth factors depends on the specific blood draw and the patient's condition that day. An exosome product, by contrast, is standardized in advance — the concentration and composition of the active vesicles are known and lab-controlled before the procedure even begins, making results more predictable from one course to the next.
How the Procedure Works
- A trichologist consultation and, if needed, trichoscopy to assess follicle condition
- Preparing the scalp for the procedure
- Administering the exosome product into the affected areas via mesotherapy
- A course of several sessions, spaced at intervals determined by the doctor
- Combination with other clinic protocols, if needed
Who It's For, and When to Get a Consultation
The procedure is considered for early and moderate stages of hair loss, and for strengthening hair after stress, childbirth, or hormonal changes. Contraindications include pregnancy and breastfeeding, acute inflammatory scalp conditions, cancer, and individual intolerance to the product's components. The final decision on whether the procedure is appropriate, and its protocol, is made by the doctor after an examination.
What Results to Expect
The hair follicle responds to therapy gradually: the first changes in hair density and quality are typically noticeable a few months after starting the course. The speed and extent of results vary from person to person, depending on the initial condition of the follicles, the cause of hair loss, and adherence to the doctor's recommendations.
