Exosome hair treatment is a non-surgical procedure in which concentrated, plant-derived exosomes are delivered into the scalp using microneedling to support dormant hair follicles. At Rock Health Clinic in Birmingham city centre, every treatment is pharmacist-led and planned after a full consultation. Most programmes involve three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart, with changes typically assessed from three to six months. Results vary between individuals.
What are plant-derived exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic vesicles involved in communication between cells. Plant-derived exosomes are used in this treatment as part of a scalp protocol intended to support the environment around hair follicles. The treatment is non-surgical and is planned individually after consultation. Evidence and outcomes vary, and no result can be guaranteed.
A personalised protocol
Pattern hair loss is often driven by hormonal factors. Where clinically appropriate, and only after a full consultation and medical history review, your pharmacist may discuss additional prescription options as part of a personalised plan. Any prescription treatment is only ever supplied following an individual clinical assessment.
How microneedling is used
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the scalp so the exosome preparation can be applied to the treatment area. A topical numbing cream may be used after suitability is confirmed. Your practitioner will explain the procedure, expected recovery and aftercare before treatment.
What to expect during treatment
- Consultation: We discuss your concerns, medical history and goals, examine your scalp and confirm whether treatment is suitable.
- Preparation: The scalp is cleansed and, where appropriate, numbing cream is applied for comfort.
- Treatment: Microneedling is performed across the planned treatment area and the exosome preparation is applied.
- Aftercare: You receive clear advice on caring for the scalp and when to contact the clinic with any concerns.
Sessions and timelines
Most programmes involve three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Progress is usually reviewed over three to six months. The number of sessions and the timeline depend on individual circumstances, and results vary.
Who may be suitable?
People experiencing pattern hair loss, thinning hair, a receding hairline, postpartum shedding or stress-related shedding may ask about treatment. It may not be suitable for people with an active scalp infection, scarring alopecia or certain medical conditions. Suitability is confirmed only after a consultation and medical history review.
Possible side effects and considerations
Temporary redness, tenderness or swelling may occur after treatment. Some people may notice temporary shedding. Other reactions are possible, and your practitioner will discuss individual risks, contraindications and aftercare before treatment. Seek clinical advice if you have concerns after a procedure.
Frequently asked questions
Is the treatment painful?
People may feel tingling or a scratching sensation during microneedling. A topical numbing cream may be used when appropriate, and your practitioner will discuss comfort measures before treatment.
How many sessions are required?
Most programmes involve three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Your recommended plan will depend on your consultation and how your scalp responds.
When might I notice a change?
Changes are typically assessed from three to six months. Hair growth cycles differ, so the timing and degree of any change vary between individuals.
Is the treatment safe?
No procedure is risk-free. A pharmacist-led consultation is used to assess suitability, explain possible side effects and answer questions before treatment. Individual risks depend on your medical history and circumstances.
