Exosome therapy, a treatment for hair loss
Exosome therapy is used to treat hair loss and alopecia, as well as to slow down the skin aging process. The regenerative potential of exosomes also promotes hair regrowth and tissue repair. These tiny vesicles produced by cells play a crucial role in intercellular communication.
Available at Victoria Park Medispa, exosome therapy is aimed at people looking to optimize their cellular health, revitalize or slow down the degeneration of their skin, and those wishing to mitigate the effects of aging. It is also suitable for individuals experiencing mild to moderate hair loss, as well as those sensitive to side effects or allergic reactions associated with other forms of treatment available for their goals.
What is exosome therapy?
Exosomes are intercellular signal carriers that can contain growth factors, microRNAs, and other bioactive molecules. This substance is associated with cellular regeneration, and its study remains relatively recent, subject to ongoing research. Thanks to their ability to reduce inflammation and stimulate tissue repair, exosomes are used for the regeneration of damaged cells.
Inflammation is the body’s response to harmful agents such as infections. When it becomes chronic, inflammation can cause DNA damage, cell death, and the formation of internal scars, reflecting externally on the body. Exosome therapy, with its anti-aging effect, helps reduce inflammation by “instructing” inflamed cells to regenerate. It effectively reverses skin and other tissue degeneration, leading to new growth and the overall generation of healthy cells.
At Victoria Park Medispa, medical-aesthetic health professionals inject exosomes to act as messengers, encouraging scalp cells and hair follicles to regenerate. This hair loss treatment, offered in hair health clinics and hair loss clinics, helps restore hair density and stimulate hair regrowth. Hair loss in women can result from family history, hormonal changes related to pregnancy, menopause, conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid diseases, autoimmune diseases, emotional or physical stress, as well as aggressive hairstyling practices and the use of certain medications. In men, it is mainly due to genetic and hormonal factors.
Modern aesthetic surgery
Aesthetic surgery offers solutions to people looking to improve their physical appearance, boost their self-confidence, or correct a potentially dangerous condition. The various procedures in this field address needs ranging from the correction of birth defects to aesthetic improvements of changes affecting the body, such as weight loss or the effects of natural aging.
- Aesthetic excision: for the removal of imperfections
- Lobuloplasty: to reshape ear lobes
- Blepharoplasty: to rejuvenate the gaze
- Lipectomy: to sculpt and firm the body
- Labiaplasty: for comfort and intimate aesthetics
- Liposuction: to slim and tone the silhouette
Applications of exosome therapy at Victoria Park Medispa
Exosomes can contain various growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive molecules (peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, proteins, metabolites, lipids, and nucleic acids). Depending on the goal, these components are selected, for example, to slow down hair loss, promote hair growth, stimulate collagen and elastin production, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, or improve skin elasticity. Exosome therapy, a treatment offered at Victoria Park Medispa, can alleviate or even resolve skin issues such as acne, scars, persistent wrinkles, skin sagging, sun damage, age spots, uneven skin texture, or enlarged pores. Additionally, it allows for better wound healing, making it effective in treating various skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
In summary, these extracellular microvesicles can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual, offering a customized approach to address several aesthetic concerns. Moreover, the durability of the results distinguishes this approach from temporary methods. By stimulating cellular regeneration, exosome therapy ensures long-lasting results over time. Non-invasive, this treatment also represents an alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures, such as Botox or dermal filler injections, which need to be renewed periodically. And since it uses the body’s natural regeneration mechanisms, it is generally well-tolerated with minimal risk of side effects.
Exosome therapy: to combat skin aging, hair loss, and alopecia (in men and women)
Exosomes can be used as therapeutic vectors by transporting molecules such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs) to target cells. The therapy begins with a thorough consultation with a professional at Victoria Park Medispa. Then, exosomes are carefully selected from various sources, such as stem cells or immune cells. Exosomes can be modified to specifically express proteins or peptides on their surface, allowing precise targeting of cells or tissues. For example, elastin and collagen proteins help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging, while improving skin firmness and elasticity. Therefore, in the context of skin aging, exosomes will be extracted from stem cells to encourage the production of these two structural proteins. They are then administered via injection or microneedling.
Regarding hair loss treatment, the process involves a series of four sessions at four-week intervals. The patient’s blood is drawn and prepared to obtain a high concentration of platelets, platelet-rich plasma, rich in growth factors and nutrients. The substance is then injected under the scalp’s surface to stimulate hair regrowth and quality. These non-invasive procedures offer a comfortable and pain-free experience. For those who wish to learn more about the effectiveness of exosomes combined with medication, Victoria Park Medispa recommends consulting a healthcare professional about the possibility of joint action.
In summary
Exosome therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses extracellular microvesicles containing growth factors, microRNAs, and other bioactive molecules. These exosomes, injected into the skin or scalp, stimulate cellular regeneration, reduce inflammation, and promote the repair of damaged tissues. They play a key role in slowing down skin aging and restoring hair.
This treatment is effective in slowing down hair loss and alopecia, improving skin elasticity and texture, reducing wrinkles, scars, and age spots. It can also treat skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and sun damage. Exosomes also promote better wound healing.
For hair treatments, a series of four sessions, spaced four weeks apart, is recommended. Results begin to be visible a few weeks after starting the treatment, with progressive improvements in hair density and quality. For skin care, the number of sessions varies depending on individual needs, but a prior consultation allows for a personalized plan.
Exosome therapy is suitable for anyone looking to improve their hair health or the appearance of their skin in a non-invasive way. It is particularly suitable for individuals experiencing mild to moderate hair loss or wishing to reduce visible signs of aging. It is also an ideal alternative for those sensitive to the side effects of traditional treatments.
Other aesthetic treatments available at Victoria Park Medispa
Victoria Park Medispa offers other treatments to improve skin firmness and tone, including Forma & Forma Plus, as well as BBL Forever Young. The first is a facial remodeling procedure based on radiofrequency, heating the deep layers of the skin, while the second is a skin rejuvenation technique using intense pulsed light (IPL).
These technologies stimulate collagen production to address age spots, redness, and small blood vessels. Forma Plus also targets subcutaneous tissues for deeper remodeling.
