Exosome Therapy

A non-surgical scalp treatment that needs no blood draw.

Type: Non-surgical
Anaesthesia: Topical, where used
Course: Assessed at consultation
Blood draw: Not required

Overview

What Exosome Therapy actually involves

Exosomes are tiny vesicles that cells release to signal to one another. In exosome therapy a prepared exosome product is introduced into the scalp across the area being treated.

The practical difference from PRP and GFC is the source. Those are prepared from your own blood on the day; an exosome treatment uses a prepared product, so there is no blood draw.

It is a newer treatment than PRP or GFC, and the evidence for it is still developing. Like them, it is used to support follicles that are still present, as part of a wider plan — it does not create new follicles in an area that is already bald. Whether it is appropriate for you, and how a course is planned, is decided at consultation. The final clinical description of this treatment is subject to doctor approval.

Candidacy

Who this is — and isn't — the right choice for

We would rather turn down an unsuitable case than sell a procedure that cannot deliver what you want.

A good fit if

Thinning hair where follicles are present but weakening
Patients who want a non-surgical option without a blood draw
Support alongside a hair transplant or other treatment, where the doctor recommends it

Not the right call if

Areas that are already fully bald — no injectable regrows a lost follicle
Active infection or untreated skin conditions on the scalp
Anyone expecting a guaranteed result or a single-session fix

The clinic confirms what to avoid for a short period after the session.
Across the course
Any further sessions follow at the intervals planned for your case.
Ongoing
Any maintenance schedule is agreed with the doctor based on how your scalp responds.

FAQ

Exosome Therapy questions patients ask

How is it different from PRP and GFC?

PRP and GFC are prepared from your own blood sample. Exosome therapy uses a prepared product instead, so no blood is drawn. All three are supportive scalp treatments, and which one fits your case is a decision for your consultation.

Will it regrow hair on a bald area?

No. It is used to support follicles that are still present. Where the follicles are gone, only transplantation restores hair to that spot.

Can it be combined with a transplant?

Where the doctor recommends it, yes — supportive scalp treatments are often planned alongside a transplant rather than instead of one.
