Male pattern baldness is a common but frustrating concern that affects men as they grow older due to various underlying issues. However, exosomes harvested from your body can reverse male pattern baldness and help you grow lush and thick hair.
Male pattern baldness is the gradual loss of hair from your scalp due to changing hormone levels as you grow older. Also known as androgenetic alopecia, this condition affects over 50 million men in the United States. The primary reason for male pattern baldness is the hormonal changes in your body as you grow older, leading to the gradual shrinkage of hair follicles in your scalp. As your hair follicles shrink, your hair grows out progressively thinner and shorter until they stop growing altogether.
Male pattern baldness usually progresses in seven distinct stages. You should ideally seek treatment at the earliest stage possible for the easy reversal of hair loss. The following are the stages of male pattern baldness:
Exosome therapy is a minimally invasive procedure wherein exosomes are harvested from your body and injected into strategically-chosen areas around your scalp. The exosomes carry growth factors that activate your hair follicles and encourage hair regrowth, reversing the male pattern baldness signs.
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles responsible for cellular communications. They transmit messaging signals to other cells to induce certain behaviors. These exosomes are harvested from the human stem cells, purified, and injected into the parts of your body requiring treatment. They’re incredibly effective because they carry growth factors, i.e., the components responsible for your body’s natural growth and healing activities.
Exosomes are incredibly small and nimble, so they easily cross barriers that normal cells can’t cross. They target the existing stem cells in your scalp to induce miniaturized hair growth and the production of new hairs. While there haven’t yet been conclusive studies, anecdotal evidence also suggests that exosomes can potentially reverse complete baldness, which hasn’t yet been accomplished by other treatment modalities.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is another effective treatment for hair loss, but it’s not as effective as exosome therapy. PRP treatment is similar to exosomes in one way—they’re both autologous treatments, i.e., the components are harvested from your own body. While exosomes are harvested from your stem cells, PRPs are harvested from your blood sample. The PRPs also contain growth factors that activate hair regeneration. However, PRPs aren’t as effective as exosomes, mostly suitable for patients with thinning hair.
The exosomes are harvested from another part of your body, purified, and then injected into carefully-chosen regions around your scalp. We apply local anesthesia before the treatment, so you don’t feel any pain or discomfort. Your scalp may feel sore and numb for about 24 hours, and you should avoid strenuous workouts for a day, but you can resume most of your daily activities immediately.
Exosomes for hair loss generally start producing new hairs in 2 to 3 months, but the hair regrowth may continue for over a year. Patients can get multiple treatments for better results, with each treatment spaced 6-8 months apart. Your doctor will curate the ideal treatment schedule based on your unique needs.
