The Role of Exosomes-Whats real and whats not

September 4, 2025

Exosomes are one of the most advanced treatments in the world today for addressing hair thinning and hair shedding. While many people are only just starting to hear about them, exosomes are at the cutting edge of regenerative aesthetics. They act as microscopic messengers that help enhance repair, support scalp health, and create the right environment for stronger, healthier-looking hair.

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring messengers that enable cell-to-cell communication. Think of them as the delivery service of the body: they carry signals and growth factors that can help support repair, improve cellular function, and maintain scalp health.

When applied within advanced protocols, exosomes can help create an environment that supports the reactivation of dormant follicles and the optimisation of scalp health.

What’s real: award-winning, scientifically validated exosomes

Not all exosomes are created equal. At Men’s Hair & Skin Clinic Perth, we use only patented, professionally recognised exosome formulations as part of our RegenScalp AFRP™ protocols.

  • DE|RIVE™: In October 2024, DE|RIVE™ was recognised with a Best Aesthetics Industry Award, documented in the Aesthetics Journal for Professionals.
  • ExoCoBio’s ASCE+ HRLV™: Widely regarded as one of the world’s most respected exosome companies, ExoCoBio holds multiple global patents and has received numerous international awards for its formulations. Its research sets the benchmark for quality and reliability in the field.

These products are trusted by professionals worldwide and are backed by rigorous science.

What’s not: the rise of fake and unregulated exosomes

With popularity comes imitation. As exosomes have grown in demand, so too has the number of unregulated and counterfeit versions appearing on the market. Medical boards internationally, including here in Australia, are flagging this as a growing concern.

The risk? These products may lack any true exosome content, have no clinical validation, and could compromise treatment outcomes. Worse still, they can give clients false expectations and undermine trust in the industry.

Our approach: science, integrity, and trust

At Men’s Hair & Skin Clinic Perth, our priority is simple: to give men access to treatments that are safe, effective, and professionally validated. That’s why our RegenScalp AFRP™ protocols use only scientifically proven exosomes from trusted suppliers like ExoCoBio and DE|RIVE.

We don’t chase gimmicks, and we don’t cut corners. Every treatment we deliver is based on research, professional integrity, and real results for our clients.

Final word

Exosomes are here to stay, and when sourced correctly, they represent one of the most powerful tools in advanced scalp protocols. But as with anything in aesthetics, the difference lies in knowing what’s real and what’s not. At our clinic, you can be confident you’re getting the real thing.
