Hair loss is a worldwide phenomenon. Not only does it affect your hair, but it also affects your overall confidence and how you see yourself. Extreme hair loss treatments involve minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants. One emerging treatment is exosome therapy that helps restore hair. The real question is, can exosomes therapy actually help with your thinning hair or bald spots?
This blog will talk about just that and share Dr. Afsheen Bilal’s point of view regarding it.
What Is Exosomes Therapy?
Exosomes trigger hair rejuvenation and healing. When talking about hair in particular, exosomes send growth signals to the scalp to trigger new hair growth.
Contrary to old hair loss treatments available in the market, such as PRP, exosomes contain growth factors needed for hair growth stimulation.
How Exosomes Therapy Works for Hair Loss
At ARB Clinic, led by Dr. Afsheen Bilal, getting exosome therapy involves an initial consultation where Dr. Afsheen Bilal takes a look at your scalp. The next step is the application of local anesthesia to make the process as painless as possible. The next step involves getting exosomes injected into the areas where there is the most hair loss or balding.
This entire treatment is completed in about 60 minutes. It is a minimally invasive process with people returning to their daily routines almost immediately.
Exosomes will activate your follicles by increasing blood flow in the scalp. Inflammation is taken care of, which is one of the causes of hair loss. The results of exosome therapy involve increased growth of strong hair.
What the Current Evidence Shows
Research into exosome therapy is ongoing. While many discuss improved hair density, thickness, and regrowth, the real observation is that results vary for each case, with a minimum of 3-6 months required for hair regrowth.
Large-scale trials of exosome therapy are ongoing, with evidence being gathered daily regarding the effectiveness of the treatment. Some have reported instant results, while others have had limited results.
Why People Consider Exosome Therapy?
Many choose exosome therapy as it is minimally invasive, has less recovery time, is rich in growth factors required for hair follicles, and can be used in combination with other treatments. This is an ideal choice for people with pattern hair loss or thinning. Another category of patients includes those who are completely bald and have alopecia. For them, alternative treatments like hair transplants may be the right choice.
What About Dr. Afsheen Bilal’s Approach?
At ARB Clinic, Exosome Therapy is categorized as an advanced hair loss treatment. It stimulates your follicles and increases blood flow for healthier hair. It is to be noted that each case varies, so each patient gets a personalized treatment plan, including the details of whether the exosome therapy would be done in combination with other treatments.
Expected Timeline and Results:
- 1–3 months: Shedding slows, and the scalp environment improves.
- 3–6 months: New hair growth becomes more visible, and thickness increases.
- 6–12 months: Best results—fuller density and healthier hair overall.
