Exosomes: The revolutionary new treatment for hair thinning and hair loss
Dr Selina Clinics is one of the best clinics in London providing exosomes therapy for hair loss and hair thinning.
Hair loss is a common concern that affects millions of people around the world, and can often have a significant impact on self-esteem and overall confidence. Losing your hair can make you feel like you're losing a part of yourself, and it's a struggle that many people face daily. If you’re reading this, you might be one of those individuals who have tried different treatments—shampoos, medications, maybe even some more invasive procedures. The emotional toll can be just as challenging as the physical changes, leaving those affected feeling disheartened, and eager to find a solution.
There is a new cutting-edge treatment that I have started providing in my clinic in London that provides encouraging results for both stopping hair loss and hair thinning, and also stimulating new hair growth. I’ve been really impressed by the results I’ve seen so far.
Exosome therapy for hair growth is a revolutionary treatment that is backed by promising research, and it's quickly becoming one of the most talked-about treatments in the field of hair restoration.

What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are small vesicles, or sacs, released by cells in your body. They play a crucial role in helping cells communicate with each other, acting as little messengers that carry essential information and instructions from one cell to another. This communication is essential for maintaining the health and function of tissues throughout your body.
When it comes to hair loss, the particularly useful exosomes are those derived from stem cells. Stem cells are known for their incredible ability to repair and regenerate tissues, and the exosomes they release are packed with potent growth factors and proteins.
These powerful exosomes are used to target the scalp. Once administered, they work in several ways to improve the health of your hair follicles. First, they help to heal any existing damage to the scalp, creating a healthier environment for hair to grow. Next, they reduce inflammation, which is often a contributing factor in hair loss. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, these exosomes activate the dormant hair follicles, essentially waking them up and encouraging them to start producing new hair. The result is not just a halt in hair loss, but the potential for new, thicker, and healthier hair growth.
This innovative use of exosomes is a major breakthrough in the field of hair restoration, offering a natural and highly effective solution for those struggling with thinning hair or baldness. By making use of the body’s own regenerative powers, exosome therapy is a fantastic alternative to more traditional, invasive treatments.
How Does Exosome Therapy Work for Hair Loss?
The process begins in the lab, collecting exosomes from special stem cells called mesenchymal stem cells. These are known for their ability to repair and regenerate.
These exosomes are then injected via microneedling into the scalp, specifically focusing on the areas where you’re losing hair. I use a microneedling pen called Derma FNS, which is sold to medical professionals only.
Once administered, the exosomes begin their work by communicating with the surrounding cells, promoting the regeneration of hair follicles, and creating a healthy environment for new hair to grow. The result is thicker, healthier hair, all without the need for any invasive surgery.
Benefits of Exosome Therapy for Hair Loss
There are quite a few benefits of exosome therapy, especially if you’re looking for a natural but effective solution to hair loss and hair thinning. Unlike other treatments that often require invasive procedures or need long-term commitments, exosome therapy harnesses the body’s own regenerative capabilities to promote hair growth.
Below are some of the advantages I’ve found with exosomes:
Quick Results: Many of my patients report a noticeable difference within six to twelve weeks.
Natural: Unlike synthetic treatments, exosomes use your body’s natural healing processes.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves simple injections with minimal discomfort.
Long-lasting Effects: With proper care, the results of exosome therapy can last for six to nine months before requiring re-administration.
Exosome Therapy vs. Traditional Hair Loss Treatments
It is of course really important to make comparisons and weigh up the pros and cons of any treatment or procedure for hair loss. Exosomes stands out as a new and innovative approach, which leverages cutting-edge science to deliver results for your hair. But how does that compare to more traditional methods?
Here’s a closer look at how exosome therapy compares to other common treatments:
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): While PRP uses your own blood’s platelets to stimulate hair growth, exosomes contain a higher concentration of growth factors, leading to potentially better results.
Surgical Hair Transplants: Transplants involve surgically moving hair from one part of the scalp to another. Exosome therapy, on the other hand, is non-surgical.
Medications: Treatments like minoxidil or finasteride can help, but they do tend to come with side effects, and must be used indefinitely. Exosome therapy offers a more natural solution.
What to Expect During the Procedure
In advance of exosome treatment, understanding what to expect helps with easing any concerns you may have about the process. The procedure is minimally invasive, straightforward and relatively comfortable.
Step by step, here’s what happens during an exosome therapy session:
Consultation: First of all it is important to have a doctor assess your hair loss and determine if you’re a good candidate for the treatment. I would always recommend booking in for a consultation with a medically trained professional before paying for any treatment.
Preparation: The scalp is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied to minimise any discomfort.
Injection: Exosomes are carefully injected into the scalp using fine needles. The entire process can take about 60 to 90 minutes.
Recovery: There’s minimal downtime, but you may experience tenderness, redness and swelling for 24-48 hours after the treatment.
Aftercare: Specific products or treatments may be recommended by your doctor to enhance the results.
Who is a Good Candidate for Exosome Therapy?
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for exosome therapy. It’s most effective for people in the early stages of hair loss or hair thinning. If you have significant hair loss or bald patches, other treatments may be more appropriate. However, for those looking to boost their hair density and health, exosome therapy could make a notable difference.
Results for Hair Loss
Patience is key when it comes to exosome therapy. While some may see results within weeks, others might take a few months. Typically, you can expect to see thicker, more voluminous hair within 3 to 6 months.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
Like any medical procedure, treatment with exosomes isn’t without risks, which is why I always recommend seeing a medically trained doctor.
However, side effects are generally mild, such as temporary redness or swelling at the injection site. Compared to surgical options, the risks are significantly lower.

Exosome therapy is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after treatments for hair loss, because it’s a minimally invasive, highly effective solution for those struggling with thinning hair.
