Exosomes for Hair Growth and Grey Hair Reduction in Sydney

Hair loss can significantly impact confidence and self-esteem for both men and women, but advancements in regenerative medicine now offer promising solutions. Exosome therapy for hair growth is a cutting-edge treatment that leverages the power of cellular communication to stimulate natural hair regrowth and can also assist to re-pigment grey hairs! At Beauty by Doctor (BBD), we are committed to delivering subtle and natural-looking results, ensuring you look and feel your best. Here, we delve into everything you need to know about exosome therapy for hair restoration.

What Do Exosomes for Hair Growth Set Out to Achieve?
Exosomes are essential for communication between cells. Exosomes, which are derived from stem cells, contain growth factors, proteins, and genetic code. When applied to the scalp, these exosomes aim to:

Stimulate dormant hair follicles.
Reduce inflammation, a known contributor to hair loss.
Promote scalp health by stimulating cellular repair and regeneration.
Revitalise the collagen and elastin for a healthier scalp environment.
Exosomes are crucial in regulating pigmentation processes and can aid in slowing the greying process. They can often help reverse grey hairs, especially when treated at greying onset.

What Results Can I Expect from an Exosome Hair Growth Treatment?
Clinical studies indicate that patients treated with exosome therapy can experience increased hair density, thickness, and overall scalp health. For instance, a peer-reviewed study published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology found significant improvement in hair follicle activity and hair shaft diameter in treated individuals. Many patients notice visible regrowth within two to six months, with improvement continuing in the following months. Exosomes promote the growth of melanocytes and can potentially restore grey hair to its natural colour.

Can Exosome Scalp Treatments Help Get Rid of Grey Hairs?
Exosome therapy can assist in re-pigmenting grey hairs, particularly when treatments are applied at the early onset of greying. By stimulating melanocyte activity in the hair follicles, exosomes often help restore natural hair colour. For those seeking an alternative to dying their hair for greys, this treatment can provide a non-invasive, natural option to address greys and improve overall scalp health.

How Does Exosome Therapy for Hair Growth Work?
Exosome therapy delivers a concentrated dose of bioactive molecules directly to the scalp. These molecules work at a cellular level, promoting hair follicle activity and preventing further hair loss. Key mechanisms include:

Activating hair follicle stem cells.
Enhancing blood circulation to nourish follicles.
Suppressing inflammation that can hinder hair growth.

How Is Exosome Therapy Different to Other Hair Regeneration Treatments?
While treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Minoxidil aim to stimulate hair growth, exosome therapy offers a more targeted and advanced approach. PRP relies on growth factors within the patient’s blood, while exosomes are enriched with over 200 signalling proteins, making treatment with exosomes highly potent. Additionally, exosome treatments are:

Less invasive than hair transplant surgery.
Can work effectively in individuals where other treatments have failed.
Provide anti-inflammatory benefits, promoting a healthier scalp environment.

What Can I Expect During My Exosome Hair Growth Treatment? Is It Painful?
The procedure involves minimal discomfort. After a thorough consultation, exosomes are applied topically to the scalp following treatment with a microneedling device or Morpheus8 RF microneedling. For suitable patients, happy gas or penthrox (green whistle) may be offered for pain and anxiety relief. Interestingly, microneedling often makes patients sneeze! Most patients find the treatment tolerable.

How Long Does an Exosome Hair Growth Treatment Take?
The entire session typically takes 30 minutes, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. It’s a straightforward, in-clinic procedure with no need for hospitalisation.

What Is the Downtime After an Exosome Hair Growth Session, and What Kind of Aftercare Is Required?
Exosome therapy requires minimal downtime. Most patients can resume daily activities immediately. You can inspect a bit of a tender scalp for a few days, and some patients may experience mild swelling – both would usually subside within a few days. Strenuous exercise and sun exposure should be avoided for the first 24 hours. Aftercare involves:

Avoid getting your hair wet until the following morning to allow the exosomes to absorb.
Refraining from shampooing or conditioning your hair for at least 24 hours.
Avoiding harsh hair treatments for at least a week.
Following any specific advice from your practitioner at BBD.

How Many Treatments of Exosome Therapy Will I Need?
The number of treatments varies depending on individual needs and the severity of hair loss and greying. Many patients achieve noticeable results after one session, but a series of four to six treatments spaced 2 to 6 weeks apart is generally recommended for optimal outcomes. A maintenance session every six months is then usually prescribed.

While the use of topical or oral hair restorative medicines such as Regaine, Finasteride, and minoxidil can be continued, exosome manufacturers suggest that these medications are no longer be necessary after completing a full course of exosome treatments. However, continuing these medications will not cause harm. Patients may choose to redirect the cost of these drugs to subsidise their exosome treatments, potentially saving money long-term.

How Long After Exosome Therapy Will I See Results?
Results are typically noticeable within two to six months as the exosomes stimulate hair follicles and repair damaged tissue. Maximum results are usually observed within 12 months.

How Long Do the Results Last from an Exosome Hair Growth Session?
With proper care, results can last 18 to 24 months or longer. Regular maintenance sessions every six months can enhance and prolong outcomes.
