Hair Restoration Treatments - A Clinical Approach Using PRP, Exosomes and Polynucleotides
Hair loss is a complex condition with multiple underlying causes, including genetic predisposition, hormonal influences, inflammation, and reduced follicular activity. Effective treatment requires a medically informed approach that addresses these factors at a biological level.
At Delphi Wellness Clinic in Bramcote, Nottingham, hair restoration is approached through evidence-based regenerative treatments, including PRP, exosomes, and polynucleotides.
Understanding Hair Loss
Hair follicle function is influenced by:
Blood supply to the scalp
Cellular signalling within the follicle
Inflammatory processes
Hormonal factors (particularly dihydrotestosterone)
Over time, disruption in these processes can lead to follicular miniaturisation and reduced hair density.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) - The Role of Growth Factors
PRP involves the use of a patient’s own blood, processed to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors.
These growth factors can:
Stimulate hair follicle activity
Improve blood supply to the scalp
Promote tissue repair and regeneration
Clinical studies have shown PRP to be effective in improving hair density and thickness in certain types of hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
Exosomes / Purosomes - Cellular Signalling and Regeneration
Exosome-based therapies provide bioactive molecules that influence cellular communication and repair.
In hair restoration, they may:
Stimulate dormant hair follicles
Reduce inflammation around the follicle
Enhance the effects of treatments such as PRP
Polynucleotides - Tissue Repair and Scalp Health
Polynucleotides are DNA-derived molecules that support tissue repair and regeneration.
Their effects include:
Improving scalp hydration and elasticity
Supporting cellular repair mechanisms
Enhancing the microenvironment of the hair follicle
This creates optimal conditions for hair growth.
Combination Therapy - A Synergistic Approach
Rather than relying on a single modality, combining PRP, exosomes, and polynucleotides allows for a multi-targeted approach:
PRP delivers growth factors
Exosomes enhance cellular communication
Polynucleotides support tissue repair
This integrated strategy aims to address multiple aspects of hair loss simultaneously.
Clinical Assessment and Patient Selection
Not all forms of hair loss respond equally to treatment. A thorough consultation is essential to:
Identify the underlying cause
Determine suitability for treatment
Set realistic expectations
At Delphi Wellness Clinic in Bramcote, Nottingham, this process is led by experienced GPs, Dr. Amanda Lewis-Evans or Dr. Nina Vadgama, ensuring a medically appropriate and personalised treatment plan.
It is also important to consider that hair restoration treatments typically require a series of sessions and ongoing maintenance to achieve and sustain optimal results. Hair growth occurs in cycles, and interventions must align with these biological processes to be effective.
Patients should therefore expect a gradual improvement over several months, with outcomes influenced by factors such as the extent of hair loss, underlying cause, and adherence to the recommended treatment plan.
A structured, medically supervised approach ensures continuity of care and optimisation of long-term results.
