Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a proven needle mover on the hair growth spectrum. Combining it with exosomes enhances that regenerative power. Exosome derived microscopic messenger vesicles deliver added growth factors and signalling molecules deep into your scalp to promote healing, collagen production, and hair regrowth.
Adding exosomes to your PRP treatment can:
PRP with exosomes is ideal for patients with mild to moderate thinning, especially those who would like to boost their current hair loss treatment plan or augment their hair transplant healing process.
We use Exovex+ Hair exosomes from Exocel Bio. Specially developed and formulated for use on the scalp, Exocel Bio exosomes are derived from potent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured and developed in the USA with ongoing collaborations and testing partnerships with UCLA, University of Toronto, UPenn, Rutgers, and Blumberg Institute to ensure the highest standards of research and development.
Treatment begins with a standard blood draw identical to one performed during a traditional PRP session. Your blood is then spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. The resulting concentrated PRP is combined with Exovex+ Hair exosomes and their added growth factors and signalling molecules. The resulting treatment solution is then applied topically to the scalp alongside microneedling to reach the deeper layers.
Mild redness or scalp sensitivity at the treatment site is common for a few days afterward. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart, and the full treatment plan (number of sessions) depends on the extent of thinning and your goals.
PRP with exosomes works well for patients with early to moderate thinning or weak, miniaturized follicles that may benefit from an activation boost. It’s a fit for those searching for a non-surgical way to begin to address their early hair loss or those who want to strengthen their results post hair transplant.
PRP with exosomes is beneficial for:
The best way to know if PRP with exosomes is right for you is through a consultation with Dr. Linkov, who can evaluate your scalp and develop a plan around your goals.
Results from a PRP treatment with exosomes is gradual, developing and building across your treatment sessions. Many patients notice reduced shedding and improved scalp health within the first couple of months of treatment, with more visible changes in thickness and density developing as follicles respond to repeated treatment.
As with any hair restoration therapy, results vary by patient, and your specific timeline is best discussed during a consultation. Downtime is minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately with only mild redness and/or scalp sensitivity potentially persisting for several days post treatment.
Combining exosomes with PRP is an additive therapy; an enhanced version of an already proven treatment. The reasons for considering PRP with exosomes over traditional PRP is the potential advantages: fewer sessions to see results, greater growth stimulation, and the potential to maximise results or hair transplant healing.
PRP uses only your own blood platelets to stimulate healing and growth. Adding exosomes introduces additional growth factors and signalling molecules from lab-cultured mesenchymal stem cells, which can extend PRP’s regenerative effects and may reduce the number of sessions required.
The Exovex+ Hair exosomes used in this treatment are developed and tested in the USA, with ongoing research collaborations with institutions including UCLA, University of Toronto, UPenn, Rutgers, and the Blumberg Institute. As with any regenerative treatment, candidacy is confirmed during a consultation.
Most treatment plans involve multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the extent of your thinning and your goals.
Yes. PRP with exosomes is often used to support healing and follicle regeneration after a hair transplant.
Because results build cumulatively across sessions, most patients notice changes gradually over the course of their treatment plan rather than after a single visit. Your specific timeline will depend on your hair loss pattern. Expectations are discussed during a consultation.

PRP with exosomes is one of several regenerative options Dr. Linkov offers to support hair restoration. During a consultation, Dr. Linkov can evaluate your hair loss pattern and help you decide whether PRP with exosomes, on its own or alongside another treatment, is the right fit for you.
