In this article, we will examine these three powerful treatment methods in detail, how they work and their success rates. You can meet with AuraDent's expert team and create the most suitable treatment plan for you.
Hair Loss and Modern Treatment Methods ✨
Hair loss is a common condition that can affect self-confidence and lead to aesthetic concerns. Many reasons such as genetic factors, hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies can lead to hair loss. At AuraDent Aesthetic Clinic, we use the most advanced technologies and treatment methods to help you regain the health of your hair. In this article, we will cover three effective methods that have revolutionized the treatment of hair loss: Microneedling, PRP and Exosome treatments.
🔬 What is Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) and How Does It Work?
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy , is a treatment method that uses devices containing very fine needles (such as Dermapen or Dermaroller) to create controlled micro-damages to the skin. When applied to the scalp, it provides the following benefits:
Application Method and Mechanism of Action
Application: Before the procedure, an anesthetic cream is usually applied to the scalp. Then, the microneedling device controlled by our specialist doctor is moved around the scalp to open thousands of invisible micro-channels.
Mechanism: These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing mechanism . Blood flow to the area increases, growth factors are secreted, and collagen production is stimulated. This process can activate dormant hair follicles and promote hair growth. 💡 Additionally, the opened micro-channels significantly increase the absorption and effectiveness of topical or injectable treatments such as PRP or Exosomes.
Number and Frequency of Sessions
Number of Sessions: Generally, 3-6 sessions at 4-6 week intervals are recommended. Although results vary from person to person, they usually become visible after a few sessions. Our AuraDent doctors will determine the most appropriate number of sessions for you.
💉 PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Treatment
What is PRP Treatment?
PRP treatment is an autologous (self-) method that uses plasma obtained from the person's own blood , rich in cells called platelets.
How to Obtain and Apply?
A small amount of blood is taken from the patient's arm with a simple blood draw. This blood is spun at high speed in a special centrifuge device to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other blood components. This golden plasma is injected into the areas where hair loss occurs with small needles.
Mechanism of Action
Mechanism: Platelets are very rich in natural growth factors that play a key role in the body's healing and regeneration processes. These growth factors (such as PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, EGF) nourish and repair hair follicles, increase blood circulation, and stimulate stem cells to promote cell renewal. In this way, hair loss slows down, existing hair strands become thicker and stronger , and new hair growth from weak roots is supported.
Success Rates and Combination Treatments
Success Rates and Combination: PRP is a method that has been proven effective by scientific studies, especially in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). The success rate varies depending on the type and stage of hair loss and the person's general health. The best results are usually achieved when combined with Microneedling, because microneedling increases the PRP's access to the hair follicles and its effectiveness.
Number and Frequency of Sessions
Number of Sessions: 3-4 initial sessions , usually once a month , followed by maintenance sessions every 3-6 months to maintain results are recommended. The treatment plan is individually tailored by our AuraDent specialists.
🌱 Exosome (Cell-Free Stem Cell Therapy) Treatment: New Generation Approach in Hair Treatment
What is Exosome Therapy?
Exosome therapy is one of the most exciting and innovative areas of regenerative medicine. Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles that are naturally secreted by many cells, especially stem cells, and contain valuable biological materials. For this reason, it is sometimes called "Cell-Free Stem Cell Therapy" .
How Does It Work and Is It Implemented?
What is it and how does it work? Exosomes are like couriers that enable communication between cells; they carry important molecules (proteins, lipids, growth factors, mRNA, miRNA, etc.). When applied to the scalp, they deliver this valuable cargo to target cells (such as hair follicle cells) and:
- 🧬 They powerfully trigger cell renewal and repair.
- 📈 They contain dense and diverse growth factors .
- 🛡️ They support hair root health by having an anti-inflammatory effect.
- 😴 They optimize the hair cycle by revitalizing dormant or weakened hair follicles.
Application: Exosomes are obtained from mesenchymal stem cells in a high-tech laboratory environment, purified in high concentrations and prepared as sterile solutions. Just like PRP, it is applied topically to the scalp by microinjection method or after microneedling.
Difference from PRP and Success Rates
Difference from PRP and Success Rates: Exosomes can carry more concentrated and standardized growth signals than PRP. Since their production is under control, their content does not vary from person to person (the quality of PRP depends on the patient's current blood values, age, and health status). Exosomes provide more targeted cellular communication and offer a stronger regenerative effect potential. Although there are not yet as many long-term and follow-up studies as PRP, initial scientific research and clinical applications show that exosome therapy is quite promising in stopping hair loss, increasing hair density and quality. It has been found to be especially effective in thickening fine hair and reducing shedding.
Number and Frequency of Sessions
Number of Sessions: Although treatment protocols are still developing, due to the intense effect of exosomes, fewer sessions than PRP are generally sufficient (e.g. 1-3 sessions). It can be repeated if necessary. Our AuraDent doctors follow the most up-to-date protocols.
💡 Which Treatment is Right for You? The Power of Combination Treatments
Combination Therapies
While microneedling, PRP and exosome treatments can be effective on their own, they are often used together to provide synergistic (increasing each other's effects) benefits:
- Microneedling + PRP: ✨ A classic and proven combination. Microneedling increases the absorption and effectiveness of PRP, providing better results.
- Microneedling + Exosome: 🚀 Allows exosomes to penetrate the hair follicles more deeply and homogeneously, maximizing the regenerative potential of the treatment.
- PRP + Exosome: 💪 In some special cases or in more advanced cases, combined protocols can be evaluated by AuraDent experts to combine the benefits of both treatments from different mechanisms.
Personalized Treatment Plan
A detailed hair analysis and expert opinion is essential to decide which treatment or combination of treatments is best for you. The type of hair loss (e.g. androgenetic, telogen effluvium), its severity, the condition of your scalp, your general health history and your treatment expectations are evaluated by our AuraDent Clinic doctors in a comprehensive consultation and the most effective treatment plan is created for you.
⚠️ Risk Factors and Things to Consider
Possible Side Effects
These treatments are minimally invasive and generally very safe . However, as with any medical procedure, there are some potential side effects and risks:
- Temporary Redness and Swelling: Mild redness, tenderness or minimal swelling may occur in the application area after the procedure, which may last for a few hours or days. This is an expected situation.
- Risk of Infection: Especially in microneedling and injections, there is a low risk of infection if sterile conditions are not followed. Therefore, it is very important that the treatment is performed by experienced doctors in a hygienic and professional clinical environment such as AuraDent . Disposable materials and the highest level of sterilization protocols are applied in our clinic.
- Pain/Sensitivity: Some mild discomfort or tenderness may be felt during or after the procedure. This is usually easily managed with anesthetic creams.
- Allergic Reactions: There is a possibility of allergic reactions (although very rare) especially to the products used in Exosome treatment. However, there is no risk of allergy in PRP because the person's own blood is used.
It is critically important that you provide your doctor with detailed information about your current health condition, medications you use, and allergies before treatment to minimize possible risks.
👍 Scientific Research and Proven Benefits
Scientific Support
The effectiveness of both PRP and Microneedling treatments on hair loss is supported by numerous scientific studies . It has been shown to increase hair count, improve hair thickness and have high patient satisfaction, especially in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Although exosome therapy is a newer field, preclinical and clinical studies have shown that it has a high potential for promoting hair follicle regeneration and hair growth. Although research continues rapidly, current data show that these three treatments are promising and effective options offered by modern medicine in the fight against hair loss.
🌿 Post-Treatment Care
Things to Consider After the Procedure
To increase the effectiveness of treatments and optimize the healing process, post-procedure care is important:
- 🧼 Avoid touching your scalp, washing it or using chemical products (spray, gel, etc.) for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
- ☀️ Avoid direct sunlight, extremely hot environments (sauna, Turkish bath) and intense exercise that will cause sweating for the period recommended by your doctor (usually a few days).
- 🧴 Clean your scalp gently and use special shampoos or lotions recommended by your doctor.
- 🗓️ Attend your scheduled follow-up sessions regularly; this is important to evaluate the results and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
Remember, the results will come over time due to the hair growth cycle and it is important to be patient . During the treatment process, our experts at AuraDent will guide you every step of the way and answer your questions.
