A major movement in haute hair and skincare, exosomes are extracted from stem cells which, when applied to the body in conjunction with other treatments, can turbocharge rejuvenation, including accelerating healthy hair growth. Consider them the new byword in next-level regeneration.
“A real challenger to PRP, exosomes therapy is amazing for people who have already embraced regenerative treatments. It’s rare to see something so truly innovative in medi aesthetics – and this is it.”
Exosomes are small vesicles (sacks) generated by animal or plant cells (at TLC, ours are derived from roses) containing a variety of growth factors, including proteins, peptides, lipids, and amino acids, which boost collagen levels, encouraging skin regeneration and hair growth.
Often referred to as ‘the signalling messengers from stem cells’ and therefore only a tiny fraction of the size of a cell itself, they’re able to move through the body with ease, playing a pivotal role in regenerating the body from within. Our exosomes are premade to a medical-grade standard in Korea and, when focused on the hair, are administered in conjunction with SkinPen® Microneedling to penetrate the body, or via cutting-edge, award-winning cryotherapy device TargetCool, which can also ‘push’ fluid such as exosomes preparations into the uppermost layers of the skin (think infusion rather than insertion). In some instances, we may use a combination of both microneedling and TargetCool; TargetCool will be used to calm the needled skin, and increases the penetration of any product placed onto it.
For the hair therapy, each vial contains 10 billion exosomes, including B vitamin Biotin, copper tripeptides, 10 growth factors and 30 nutrients.
Aside from being used on the hair to supercharge fatigued locks, exosomes are exceptional for the skin (most commonly neck, chest, hands – see here for the main Exosomes treatment page).
Exosomes are a brilliant beauty booster for all, but are particularly good for people who are losing hair or experiencing thinning.
Any downtime with exosomes directly correlates to the accompanying procedure, but their anti-inflammatory properties almost always mean a reduction in any redness or irritability that would usually be experienced.
Results from exosome therapy (advised as a course of five sessions over one to three months) can last for as long as six to eight months.
Please note that all treatment responses and recovery times are dependent on the individual patient.
When it comes to the hair (scalp), exosomes will always need to be administered as part of another treatment involving microneedling – see our SkinPen® Microneedling treatment as a key example.
Consider the TrichoTest™, a genetic test which will help determine precisely which mixture of vitamins, supplements, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients your hair loss will best respond to.
Exosomes are considered an extremely safe aesthetic treatment, but some clients will prefer PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy for Hair, where the regenerative power comes directly from a formulation that’s made from the patient’s own body (blood) and alongside Mesotherapy for hair.

No. The most discomfort you can expect to experience is some soreness from the microneedling, depending on how your treatment is performed.
Nothing! Exosomes are an entirely safe treatment.
We advise at least five treatment sessions in order to see substantial results, depending on the severity of the hair loss/condition.
