About

 

Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles, or bubbles, released by cells. They act as messengers, carrying a cargo of proteins, lipids, and genetic material (RNA and DNA) between cells. This intercellular communication plays a vital role in various biological processes, including tissue repair, regeneration, and immune response.

​

In the context of hair loss, exosomes derived from specific cell types, such as mesenchymal stem cells, are of particular interest. These exosomes contain growth factors and signaling molecules that can stimulate hair follicle activity and promote hair growth.

 

How Exosomes Work for Hair Loss

​

Exosome therapy for hair loss involves delivering these vesicles directly to the scalp, via microneedling. Once delivered, exosomes work in several ways to revitalize hair follicles:

​

  • Stimulating hair follicle growth: Exosomes contain growth factors like VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), which promotes blood vessel formation, improving nutrient supply to hair follicles. Other growth factors, such as KGF (keratinocyte growth factor) and FGF (fibroblast growth factor), directly stimulate hair follicle cells to grow and proliferate.

  • Promoting hair follicle regeneration: Exosomes can help repair damaged hair follicles and promote the formation of new ones. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with thinning hair or early stages of baldness.

  • Reducing inflammation: Chronic inflammation can contribute to hair loss. Exosomes have anti-inflammatory properties that can help create a healthier environment for hair growth.

  • Improving scalp health: By promoting cell regeneration and reducing inflammation, exosomes can improve overall scalp health, creating an optimal environment for hair growth.

Benefits of Exosome Therapy for Hair Loss

​

Exosome therapy offers several potential advantages over traditional hair loss treatments:

​

  • Natural and regenerative: Exosomes harness the body's natural healing mechanisms to stimulate hair growth.

  • Minimally invasive: The treatment involves microneedling, which is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime.

  • Targeted approach: Exosomes deliver growth factors and signalling molecules directly to the hair follicles, maximizing their effectiveness.

  • Potential for long-lasting results: By promoting hair follicle regeneration, exosome therapy may offer more long-lasting results compared to treatments that only address the symptoms of hair loss, although maintenance sessions are required to ensure sustained results.

At Dr Horlick Aesthetics, we use Purasomes by Dermafocus. These exosomes, derived from ethically-sourced bovine colostrum, are combined with a potent mixture of growth factors, vitamins and amino acids in a patented formulation to achieve transformative results.
