Exosomes: A New Effective Non-Surgical Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia?

Exosome therapy is a promising new approach for the treatment of hair loss. Current treatments for androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss, fall short of providing satisfactory efficacy with minimal side effects; thus, the fact that exosome therapy delivers impressive hair growth with no reported adverse events makes this therapy an attractive avenue to be explored; nevertheless, due to the novelty of this treatment, clinical trials to confirm its efficacy and safety are lacking. The current state of knowledge that is publicly available on the efficacy of exosome therapy for treatment of hair loss is reviewed, and the potential of exosomes as an alternate therapy for hair restoration is discussed.
