When dealing with hair loss a very important factor in maintaining healthy hair growth are something called growth factors which are naturally occurring within our bodies. With this innovative treatment, scientists have figured out how to purify these already helpful proteins and make them even more potent.

What Are Exosomes?
Naturally occurring exosomes exist in our blood stream as small secretions from cells as they communicate with one another. They often contain helpful proteins, growth factors, and signaling molecules. Scientists have recognized these naturally occurring exosomes, and developed methods to purify them from mesenchymal stem cells. These purified exosomes can then be injected directly into the skin of a patient and deliver growth factors and proteins necessary for the stimulation of hair growth.
Exosomes are much stronger than other types of growth factors like your own plasma for example which is high in healing properties thanks to an abundance of white blood cells. Exosomes are similar to natural injections or PRP (platelet rich plasma) in that they both involve growth factors however an exosome treatment is much more potent because they are purified whereas the efficacy of platelet rich plasma depends on the patient's health since they produce the plasma injected.

FAQs For Exosomes
What is the difference between exosomes and natural injections (PRP)?
PRP (platelet rich plasma) uses a patient’s own blood which is drawn and centrifuged during the preparation process. Exosomes are lab-derived and do not require a blood draw from a patient. PRP has been studied for years and shown to result in significant improvements in patients with alopecia. Effectiveness, however, can be limited by the patient’s overall health and concentrations of platelets in their blood. A patient with certain blood-related disorders may not have an optimal response. Unlike PRP, however, exosomes are not affected by a patient's health status since they are not derived from that patient. Also, every preparation of exosomes is consistent regarding the content of growth factors.
Are exosomes better than natural injections?
Both exosomes and natural injections offer their own respective benefits. Exosomes are lab purified with a measured and known quantity of growth factors delivered. However they have not been studied in hair loss as long as natural injections have. Natural injections minimize the risk of allergic response since there are no “foreign” particles being injected.
