Exosomes for Hair Restoration
AnteAge MDX Exosome Solution (Learn More)
For Dr. Janine Hopkins, a board-certified dermatologist with practices in both South Lake, TX and Monroe, LA, hair restoration has become increasingly potent thanks to cutting-edge ingredients like exosomes.
“I’m very excited about AnteAge MDX Exosome Solution, which has been bio-engineered to stimulate hair growth,” Dr. Hopkins says. “We use it in conjunction with microneedling or laser resurfacing.”
She goes on to explain how in addition to those applications, the brand offers a three-formulas system, one tailored specifically for brightening, one for boosting collagen and one formulated for hair regeneration.
“They’ve bio-engineered a pathway to activate hair growth, and they’re a really exciting use of exosomes.” Dr.Hopkins enthuses.
FOREO Sweden’s Latest Launch
In the world of at-home hair loss solutions, the options have taken a significant leap forward in recent years. We now have a wide range of choices, from specialized topical formulations targeting specific types of hair loss, to at-home microneedling techniques for enhancing hair growth serum penetration. And of course, red light therapy continues to gain popularity for its ability to stimulate hair growth.
Joining the arena this fall is FOREO Sweden’s LUNA 4 hair, a red LED light, multi-tasking device designed to optimize hair health.
In clinical trials, 97 percent of testers reported thicker, shinier hair. The LUNA 4 for Hair is clinically proven to increase hair thickness and reduce hair loss, and was designed to be an easy, at-home solution.
The LUNA combines a T-Sonic massage for improved circulation with red LED light therapy to both protect and strengthen hair. The waterproof device also helps reduce dandruff, unclogs pores and improves the absorption of hair serums.
The New Gold Standard for Hair Transplants To Be Testedatories
While those hyped up “hair plugs”, might bring back unwanted memories, remarkably natural results are now obtainable.
“Hair transplantation has come a long way in the last several decades,” says New Jersey facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffery Wise, who performs the procedure. “Gone are the days when people got macro transplants. This is when they would take multiple hairs at one time and line them up like a doll’s hair on someone’s head and give them a very artificial appearance.”
The cutting edge of hair transplant surgery is now so precise, and focused on detail that the results attained are virtually undetectable.
“The old devices which is still in use in many facilities, that aids in doing hair
transplant punches are as big as 1 millimeter, 1.2 millimeters and up to 1.4 millimeters,”
Dr. Wise explains.
“Over time, the punch size has gotten significantly smaller. The device we use has a current punch size of 0.5 or 0.6 millimeters, which is almost the diameter of a needle.
This allows for no scarring on the back of the head. You’ll be able to wear your hair short and no one will ever know.”
