Hair Restoration at Sunshine Health
Exosomes are a cutting-edge treatment option for hair restoration and growth. These tiny extracellular vesicles, derived from stem cells, play a crucial role in cellular communication and tissue repair.
How Hair Restoration Helps:
1
Stimulating Hair Follicle Growth
Exosomes contain growth factors, proteins, and genetic materials that signal dormant hair follicles to enter the active growth phase (anagen). This stimulation helps revive follicles that have slowed or stopped producing hair.
2
Promoting Cell Regeneration
Exosomes deliver essential components, such as messenger RNA (mRNA), microRNA, and cytokines, directly to the hair follicle cells. These components accelerate cell repair and regeneration, creating an optimal environment for hair growth.
3
Reducing Inflammation
Inflammation around hair follicles can inhibit growth. Exosomes contain anti-inflammatory agents that calm the scalp and reduce conditions like folliculitis, improving follicle health and encouraging hair growth.
4
Enhancing Blood Flow to the Scalp
Exosome therapy improves microcirculation around the hair follicles, ensuring that follicles receive the nutrients and oxygen necessary for sustained growth.
5
Increasing Collagen Production
Collagen is vital for maintaining a healthy scalp and strengthening hair follicles. Exosomes promote collagen synthesis, which helps create a robust foundation for hair regeneration.
6
Slowing Hair Loss
By delivering bioactive signals to hair follicles, exosomes can inhibit the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with hair thinning and loss, particularly in androgenetic alopecia.
7
Improving Hair Quality
Patients often report not only increased hair density but also improvements in the texture, thickness, and overall health of their hair after exosome treatments.
Why Choose Exosome Therapy for Hair Restoration?
Minimally Invasive
Exosomes are administered via scalp injections or absorbed with a radiofrequency technique with minimal downtime.
Natural and Safe
Derived from plant based stem cells, exosomes utilize the body;s natural mechanisms for generation wihtout synthetic chemicals or surgery.
Effective for Various Conditions
Exosomes therapy is suitable for individuals experiencing thinning hair, early-stage hair loss, or those looking to enhance results after a hair transplant.
Results Timeline
Initial improvements may be noticeable within 2-3 months.
In office treatments are monthly for the first 3 months and daily application is sent home which are applied 1-2 times a day.
Optimal results are usually seen 6-12 months after the treatment.
Maintenance sessions can be scheduled annually or as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are exosomes, and how do they work for hair regrowth?
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles derived from stem cells that contain growth factors, proteins, and genetic material. They help repair and regenerate tissue by stimulating cellular communication and promoting hair follicle health, enhancing hair growth. We use plant based exosomes at Sunshine Health.
How is the exosome treatment performed?
The treatment typically involves injecting or using radiofrequency to absorb the exosomes into the scalp, focusing on areas of hair thinning or loss. The procedure may include microneedling to enhance the absorption and efficacy of the exosomes.
What types of hair loss can exosome therapy treat?
Exosome therapy is most effective for androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and early-stage hair loss, alopecia areata (Autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles) and Telogen Effluvium (Disruption of the hair growth cycle, often triggered by stress, illness, hormonal changes, or medications)
Is exosome therapy safe?
Exosome therapy is considered safe because the exosomes are derived from purified stem cells and contain no DNA or live cells. As with any treatment, there is a small risk of side effects, such as mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour, including preparation, injections, and aftercare.
When will I see results?
Most patients notice improvement within 2-3 months, with full results visible around 6-9 months. Hair growth cycles vary, so individual results may differ.
How many treatments are required?
Typically, 3 treatments in office 1 month apart treatment is sufficient for many patients. Then at home exosome serum is given tot he patient for continued results and hair follicle repair. However, some may benefit from a follow-up session after 9–12 months, depending on their response and hair regrowth goals. Yearly maintenance is recommended with 1-2 sessions annually.
How long do the results last?
Results can last 1-2 years or longer, depending on factors like genetics, lifestyle, and the underlying cause of hair loss. Maintenance treatments may extend results.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and may include slight discomfort, redness, or swelling at the injection site, which usually subsides within a day or two.
Can exosome therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes, exosome therapy can be combined with other hair regrowth treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), low-level laser therapy, or topical medications for enhanced results.
Who is a good candidate for exosome therapy?
Good candidates are individuals experiencing thinning hair or mild to moderate hair loss. It is less effective for completely bald areas or advanced hair loss where hair follicles are no longer active.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is little to no downtime. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately but should avoid strenuous activity and washing the treated area for 24 hours.
