Exosomes for Hair Restoration

AnteAge MDX Exosome Solution (Learn More)

For South Lake, TX dermatologist Janine Hopkins, MD, hair restoration was at the center of one of the most compelling new launches of the year.

“I’m very excited about AnteAge MDX Exosome Solution, which has been bio-engineered to stimulate hair growth,” Dr. Hopkins says. “We use it in conjunction with microneedling or laser resurfacing. And they have three formulas, one for brightening, one for collagen stimulation and one for hair growth. They’ve bio-engineered a pathway to activate hair growth, and they’re a really exciting use of exosomes.”

In the world of at-home hair loss solutions, the options have entered the next century. These days we have a plethora of choices, from high-powered topical formulations created for specific types of hair loss to at-home microneedling to boost hair growth serums. And of course, the red light therapy devices for stimulating hair growth.

Joining the hair restoration game this fall, FOREO Sweden’s LUNA 4 hair is a red LED light, multi-tasker for hair health. In clinical trials, 97 percent of users reported thicker, shinier hair. And the LUNA 4 hair is clinically proven to increase hair thickness and reduce hair loss. The T-Sonic massage stimulates circulation and red LED light therapy protects and strengthens hair. Altogether, the waterproof LUNA reduces dandruff, unclogs pores and increases the absorption of hair serums.

The New Gold Standard for Hair Transplants

You’ve probably heard of “hair plugs,” and may know what these plugs look like. Thankfully, those days are behind us.

“Hair transplantation has come a long way in the last several decades,” says New Jersey facial plastic surgeon Jeffrey B Wise, MD. “Gone are the days where people got macro transplants. This is when they would take multiple hairs at one time and line them up like a doll’s hair on someone’s head and give them a very artificial appearance.”

The cutting edge of hair transplant surgery is now so precise and detailed, that the results have an entirely natural appearance.

“The old device, which is still in use in many facilities, that accomplishes hair transplant punches are as big as 1 millimeter, 1.2 millimeters and up to 1.4 millimeters,” Dr. Wise explains. “Over time, the punch size has gotten significantly smaller. The device we use has a current punch size of 0.5 or 0.6 millimeters, which is almost the diameter of a needle. This allows for no scarring on the back of the head. You’ll be able to wear your hair short and no one will ever know.”
