Do you notice that your hair is thinning, your parting looks wider or your hairline is slowly receding? Then you probably are looking for an approach that strengthens your own hair rather than hiding something. A hair treatment with exosomes and polynucleotides focuses on the health of your scalp and hair follicles, for stronger and fuller-looking hair. On this page you can read what exosomes and polynucleotides exactly do, who this treatment is suitable for and when it's better not, how it proceeds at Dr T. and what you can realistically expect. Honest and without empty promises.
Exosomes are small signaling particles that transmit messages between cells. In a hair treatment, they are used to stimulate the cells around your hair follicles to repair and become active. The idea is not to make hair grow out of nothing, but to make the environment of your existing follicles healthier and more active.
Polynucleotides are building blocks based on purified DNA material. They are used to hydrate the scalp, support blood circulation and recovery, and thus create a better nourishing base for your hair. Both substances thus work on your scalp and follicles, not on the hair shaft itself.
They are often combined because they complement each other: polynucleotides for a healthier, better-circulated scalp and exosomes to stimulate follicle activity. During a consultation, we look at which combination and which schedule fits your situation.
The treatment is best suited for people with thinning hair or declining hair quality, and who still have active follicles. Think of a widening parting, a receding hairline in an early stage, or hair that feels lifeless and brittle. The earlier you catch it, the more you can typically expect from such a program.
Honestly: where the follicles have completely disappeared and the scalp is smooth in those areas, this treatment cannot bring back new hair. Also with advanced baldness, the possibilities are limited. We'd rather tell you that beforehand than have you be disappointed afterwards.
We never treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The treatment is also generally not suitable with an active infection or inflammation of the scalp, or with certain conditions and medications. That's why during the consultation we always first go through your health and hair history.
Everything starts with a consultation. We examine your scalp and hair, discuss since when you’ve noticed a change and what you expect. Sometimes another or additional cause is at play, for instance a deficiency or a hormonal factor, and then we refer you accordingly. Only when this treatment seems meaningful, we propose a plan.
The treatment itself consists of fine micro-injections or administration into the scalp on the zones that benefit from it. We work calmly and precisely, with attention to comfort. A session usually doesn't take long and you can normally continue your day afterwards.
Hair treatments rarely work with a single session. Usually we propose a course of several sessions, with intervals, and afterwards possibly maintenance. The exact schedule is tailored to your situation, not a standard recipe.
Hair grows slowly, and recovery as well. So don't expect a difference from one week to the next. The first effects, such as a healthier scalp and hair that feels stronger, you usually notice only after a few weeks to months, and visibly fuller hair requires patience over several months.
The goal is subtle and realistic: to strengthen your own hair, slow down further deterioration and improve the overall hair quality. The result strongly depends on your starting point, the cause of your hair loss and how consistently you follow the program. We don't promise you a full head of hair where that isn't realistic.
Because hair loss is often an ongoing process, maintenance may be necessary over time to maintain the result. What is sensible in your case, we discuss honestly during follow-up.
With a correctly performed treatment, reactions are usually mild and temporary. Think of some redness, tenderness or slight swelling of the scalp on the injection sites, and occasionally a small bruise. That usually disappears by itself within a few days.
As with any injection, there is a small risk of infection or an unwanted reaction. We limit that risk by working sterilely, thoroughly reviewing your history beforehand, and only performing the treatment if it is safe and meaningful. If we doubt, we don't do it or we refer you.
Good aftercare helps: treat your scalp gently the first days, don't scratch, and postpone intensive sports or sun exposure on the treated area for a while. You get clear instructions and you can reach us if something doesn't feel right.
The price of a hair treatment with exosomes and polynucleotides depends on several factors: which product or combination is needed, the size of the area to be treated and the number of sessions in your course. That's why we don't work with one fixed amount that applies to everyone.
During your consultation, we assess your situation and you get an honest estimate of what a sensible program entails and what it costs. That way you know upfront what to expect, without surprises afterwards.
Do you feel that your hair is thinning and do you want to know if this treatment is for you? Then feel free to schedule a consultation at Dr T. We honestly take a look and also tell you if a different approach suits you better.
This regenerative approach targets men and women who notice that their hair is diffusely thinning, the parting looks wider or the hairline is slowly receding. Also with telogen effluvium, temporary hair loss after stress, illness or childbirth, exosomes and polynucleotides can support the recovery process. We also see nice results with early androgenic alopecia, as long as active follicles are still present.
The treatment is not a miracle solution for completely bald areas without hair roots. During your consultation, I assess follicle health with a dermatoscope and we discuss realistic expectations. Together we determine if this biostimulation is your best next step, always custom work, never a standard recipe.
