Exosome hair treatment is a non-invasive treatment that uses small vesicles called exosomes to improve hair health, reduce hair loss (alopecia) and strengthen hair follicles.

This innovative treatment is performed using ready-made exosomes that regulate communication between cells and promote cell repair. Clinical findings have shown that this hair restoration method has high repair power.

But what is an exosome? Let’s examine it briefly:

What is an exosome?

All cells secrete “extracellular vesicles” into their environment to ensure communication between cells during normal life processes. These vesicles are called ectosomes and exosomes. Exosomes are formed by intracellular organelles by merging with the cell membrane and transmit their contents to the surrounding cells.

These organic structures are like instruction letters, containing the necessary material. They deliver commands such as self-repair, change functioning and increase vitality to the cells they reach.

Exosomes contain various gene slices, amino acids and lipids, depending on the cell that produced them. Thanks to them, DNA, RNA and proteins are transferred from cell to cell and a major regeneration process begins. Since the early 2000s, research on the healing potential of these microstructures has increased.

 

Is exosome therapy only used for hair?

Exosome therapies have been the subject of promising research in many diseases, including cancer. It can be used in any situation where it is desired to ensure communication between cells and accelerate repair processes.

The following are the areas where this cellular therapy method is currently being used successfully:

• Skin problems
• Wound healing
• In vitro fertilization
• Hair loss

For which types of hair problems is exosome therapy suitable?

Hair problems have different causes, including genetic, hormonal, medical and environmental ones. Exosome therapy is a non-invasive treatment method that can give successful results in almost all types of alopecia for both men and women. This treatment method can also be preferred in the following cases:

• Hair thinning
• Male pattern (hormonal) hair loss
• Sudden hair loss due to seasonal or stress
• Wanting to preserve existing hair and transplanted follicles after hair transplantation
• Limp hair
• Redness, scaling and signs of aging on scalp

 

How is exosome hair treatment applied?

First of all, the source of the hair problem and the patient’s current health status are examined by the specialist doctor. The scalp is examined and what can be expected from the treatment is shared with the patient.

The scalp is sterilized before the application. Using a fine needle, the doctor injects the special solution into the affected area at intervals.

The procedure is usually painless and takes 15-20 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
