Can Exosomes regrow a hairline?

Question

A doctor told me to consider Exosomes, since I'm too young (23) to have a hair transplant. I've read online that the procedure can cost more than $5k. PRP cost me several thousand and did absolutely nothing. Does Exosomes work and are there any convincing before and after photos? I've already stopped hairloss with Fin, Minox, LLT, Keto 1% shampoo, but I am looking to regrow my hairline.

EXOSOMES  can provide regrowth in patients where PRP is inadequate. The hairline is a unique area. One needs to distinguish between hairline maturization and hairline loss due to androgenic alopecia. Exosomes should be able to improve the hair loss from androgenic alopecia. A transplant is needed if you're not happy with your normal hairline maturation. Please check my YouTube video on exosomes versus PRP with before and after pictures and explanation of how exosomes function. The cost of exosomes should be less than half the price you quoted.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself Verified All-star

While there is evidence that PRP can increase hair density in the average person, I do not believe there are any scientific studies demonstrating the effectiveness of exosomal therapy for hair regrowth.  It is new therapy which may play a role in hair regeneration in the future.   But, at this point in time, there is no   guarantee of getting any significant hair regrowth.

Hello and thank you for your question. I have not used Exosomes in my practice so  I don't feel I can comment. I do know that at the age of 23 you are too young for a transplant if that’s what you’re thinking. Please see a specialist and find out what your best path forward is. Best wishes.Dr. T

These two procedures are similar and have little value as discussed by me in a recent post on my balding blog (see web reference below)
