6 / 800 results- Are exosomes applied as a serum, an injection, or combined with other hair treatments? Clinics offer exosomes as scalp injections, as serums applied after microneedling, or combined with PRP. No exosome product is FDA-approved, and no reliable evidence shows that any of these methods works.
- Is Finasteride unbeatable or are there equally powerful alternatives? Finasteride has the longest record of trial evidence in male androgenetic alopecia; in pooled 24-week trials dutasteride increased hair counts more, and minoxidil, topical finasteride, PRP, LLLT and microneedling have supporting studies. Regulators warn that finasteride can cause sexual side effects, depression and suicidal thoughts that may persist after stopping, its label also lists breast, semen and other physical effects, and dutasteride now carries a precautionary mood warning; both are prescription-only, and dutasteride and oral minoxidil are off-label for hair loss.
- What exactly is platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and why is it popular for treating hair loss? PRP injects a concentrate of your own blood platelets into the scalp. Small trials show modest density gains, and it is used off-label.
- Can platelet-rich plasma (PRP) help reactivate dormant hair follicles in men and women with thinning hair? PRP is thought to act through platelet growth factors. Small trials show modest gains in hair density, and many people see little change.
- What is the difference between PRP and a hair transplant? PRP is a non-surgical injection treatment that clinics use to try to thicken existing hair; the evidence is mixed. A transplant surgically moves follicles.
