    TLDR Exosome therapy helped regrow and repigment beard hair in a man with alopecia.
    Exosome therapy, using injections derived from human umbilical cord, has shown promising results in a 35-year-old man with refractory alopecia areata of the beard. The treatment led to significant regrowth and repigmentation of previously white beard hairs, as well as scar improvement. This suggests that exosome therapy could be a minimally invasive and effective regenerative option for similar cases.
