How it works, and common myths

Stem cell-derived exosomes deliver growth factors and genetic material, stimulating dormant follicles, promoting angiogenesis, and extending the hair growth cycle.

A little more technical

This therapy uses nanoscale vesicles from mesenchymal stem cells. They deliver growth factors, proteins, and signaling molecules to hair follicles, stimulating cell growth and prolonging the hair's growth phase.

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes contain a cargo of growth factors (e.g., VEGF, HGF, FGF), cytokines, and miRNAs that modulate the hair follicle cycle. They promote the proliferation of dermal papilla cells, prolong the anagen (growth) phase by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and reduce local inflammation, thereby stimulating hair regrowth and improving hair density.

Material: Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes; Purified cellular messengers that carry potent growth factors, lipids, and proteins directly to struggling hair follicles.
Mechanism category: Follicular Reactivation; Signals dormant or miniaturized hair follicles to re-enter the active growth phase, increasing hair density and thickness.
