Exosome Treatment for the Scalp in Munich

Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by cells that carry signals between cells. For autologous exosome treatment of the scalp at our Munich practice, we use your own blood to prepare the treatment. The plasma is conditioned with light and heat in the MCT system to promote the release of the body’s own vesicles. The preparation also contains other plasma components. Its use for hair thinning is a complementary approach for which clinical evidence is still limited; the available evidence does not allow us to predict how much hair growth may occur.

Preparation takes around 60 minutes, with additional time allocated for treatment afterwards. We document changes in your hair over several months, or over 6–12 months where appropriate. With autologous exosomes, we cannot currently predict reliably when effects may appear or how much hair density may increase. Further treatment depends on how well you tolerate the procedure and any benefit observed in your case.

If the preparation is injected, you may feel brief pinpricks or tenderness; local anaesthetic can be arranged on request. As a guide, allow 0–2 days for recovery, depending on the treatment method and how your scalp reacts. Symptoms that worsen should be medically assessed.

This approach may be considered for selected forms of non-scarring hair thinning. It is essential to identify the cause and assess whether your scalp is suitable for treatment. We discuss the limited clinical evidence and established alternatives to help you make an informed decision. After treatment, use gentle scalp care appropriate to the procedure. Do not scratch injection sites; follow your personalised aftercare plan regarding when you can wash your hair, expose your scalp to heat and resume using hair products. Increasing pain, marked swelling or signs of inflammation should be medically assessed.
