Hair loss and hair quality loss are important problems that many people face and affect their quality of life. As Este Marley, we act with the mission of offering you the most up-to-date and innovative treatment methods for your hair health.
Exosomes, which have been highlighted by scientific research in recent years, are a new generation approach with groundbreaking potential in hair treatments. In this article, we will share with you in detail what exosomes are, how they are used in hair treatments, and their benefits.
What is Exosome?
Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles (30-150 nanometers in diameter) secreted by cells. They carry various biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, RNA (mRNA, miRNA, etc.) and DNA. Playing an important role in intercellular communication, exosomes can transmit these molecules to target cells and affect their behavior and functions. They can be thought of as a way for cells to “talk” to each other.
What is the Importance of Exosomes for Hair Health?
Exosomes may have various positive effects on hair health thanks to the growth factors, proteins, and genetic material they contain:
- Stimulating Hair Follicles and Supporting Regeneration: Exosomes can stimulate weakened or dormant hair follicles, helping them to become active again and produce new hair strands.
- Promoting the Growth and Proliferation of Hair Cells: Thanks to the growth factors they contain, they can support the growth and proliferation of hair cells (keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells).
- Improving Blood Circulation: Exosomes can contribute to better nutrition and oxygenation of hair follicles by supporting the formation of blood vessels (angiogenesis) in the scalp.
- Reducing Inflammation: They can protect hair health by reducing the inflammatory processes that underlie hair loss.
- Strengthening Hair Strands: They can help hair become stronger and more durable by supporting the production of proteins that form the structure of hair strands.
- Slowing Down Hair Loss: Thanks to all these positive effects, they can slow down and even stop the hair loss process.
How to Apply Exosome Hair Treatment?
At our Este Marley clinic, hair treatment with exosomes usually includes the following steps:
- Evaluation and Diagnosis: Our specialist doctors analyze the cause of your hair loss, its prevalence and your hair quality in detail. It is determined whether you are a suitable candidate for exosome treatment and a treatment plan specific to you is created.
- Selection of Exosome Source: Exosomes used in hair treatments are usually obtained from special cell cultures in a laboratory environment. These exosomes are rich in growth factors and other beneficial molecules that have hair growth-promoting and regenerative properties.
- Application: The prepared exosome solution is injected into the scalp in areas where hair loss is intense using thin needles. This process is similar to mesotherapy and is usually short-lived (15-30 minutes) and causes minimal discomfort. In some cases, it can also be applied in conjunction with methods such as dermaroller or microneedling, which helps the exosomes to be better absorbed by the skin.
Exosome treatment is usually applied in sessions. Session intervals and number are determined by our specialist doctors according to the person’s hair loss status and response to treatment.
What are the advantages of hair treatment with exosomes?
- A New Generation and Potent Treatment: Exosomes are a promising and powerful treatment option for hair regeneration thanks to the rich growth factors and other bioactive molecules they contain.
- Supporting Natural Regeneration Mechanisms: Exosomes support natural and healthy hair growth by triggering the body’s own healing and regeneration processes.
- Minimally Invasive: Since it is applied by injection, there is no surgical incision or visible scars. The recovery process is usually fast and comfortable.
- Targeted Effect: Since it is applied directly to the scalp, its mechanism of action is target-oriented.
- Combinability with Other Treatments: Exosome treatments can be combined with hair transplantation, PRP, mesotherapy and other hair loss treatments to achieve synergistic effects and increase treatment success.
- Potentially Faster and More Effective Results: Early clinical studies suggest that exosome therapy may provide faster and more significant results than other regenerative treatments in some cases.
Who is Suitable for Hair Treatment with Exosomes?
Exosome hair treatment can often be a suitable option for people who:
- Those experiencing early and mid-stage hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)
- Those who want to improve the quality of their hair and thicken their thinning hair strands.
- Those who want to prepare the scalp before hair transplantation and accelerate recovery after transplantation.
- Those who do not respond adequately to other treatments or are looking for an alternative method
- Cases where hair loss is caused by stress, seasonal changes or other factors
However, since exosome therapy is a new field and each individual’s situation is different, whether you are suitable for this treatment can only be determined after a detailed examination and evaluation by our expert doctors.
