A new treatment using dermal sheath cup cells may regrow hair and could require repeat treatments every 8 years. Users discuss ongoing trials and plan to use finasteride and minoxidil until the treatment is available.

community ASCEplus HRLV Exosomes with microneedling

1 upvotes 2 years ago

The discussion is about using ASCEplus HRLB exosomes for hair loss treatment, which combines 10 billion exosomes with growth factors, nutrients, biotin, and copper tripeptide. The treatment is expensive and typically administered via scalp injections, but in Europe, it's done with microneedling.

community Recent trials investigating mesenchymal stem cell derived exosomes demonstrate significant increases in anagen duration and hair shaft caliber by upregulating Wnt/beta-catenin pathways.

4 upvotes 1 month ago

Exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells can increase hair growth by enhancing anagen duration and hair shaft thickness through the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Phase 2 trials show improved hair counts over 24 weeks.
