TLDR Adipose Stem Cell-derived Exosomes (ASCE) could potentially be used for hair loss treatment and scalp rejuvenation, as they have shown to increase hair length, thickness, and count, and improve conditions like androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata.

Adipose Stem Cell-derived Exosomes (ASCE) are being explored as a potential cell-free therapy for hair loss and scalp rejuvenation. These nano-sized vesicles have been tested in vitro, in vivo, and in clinical studies. In a clinical study involving 29 subjects, a microneedling procedure with topical ASCE treatment was applied for 6 months. The results showed that ASCE could reduce cellular aging of human dermal papilla cells from UVB irradiation and effectively increase the length and thickness of human hairs, outperforming minoxidil. The study also showed an increase of 9 more hair counts per 1cm2, from a baseline of 180 to 189 after 6 months of 10 sessions. ASCE showed strong improvement in cases of androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata, suggesting it could be a next-generation technology for scalp and hair regeneration and anti-inflammation.

community My opinions on hair treatment right now and in future

in Treatment 22 upvotes 4 years ago

Finasteride, minoxidil, dermarolling, and topical antiandrogens are effective for hair regrowth. Future treatments may include CB0301 and hair cloning.

community Can we have a thread that summarizes all treatments options in addition to the big 3 which we have some evidence for, their mechanism of action and whether they can be combined with the big 3(other than dermarolling)?

in Treatment 58 upvotes 6 years ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known three, focusing on separating effective treatments from myths. Dutasteride and low-dose oral Minoxidil are mentioned as having clinical evidence for increasing hair counts, but with potential side effects.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 1 month ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
