Exosome Therapy: The New Frontier in Reversing Grey Hair?
London, UK – A new treatment claiming to reverse grey and white hairs has been introduced by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Munir Somji. The procedure, which involves microneedling ASCE exosomes into the scalp, aims to reactivate dormant melanocyte stem cells responsible for hair pigmentation.Dr. Somji, owner of DrMediSpa, explained in a recent video that "melanocytes are responsible for the pigmentation within your hair." He further stated that by stimulating these cells, white hairs can begin growing black again. The treatment is also suggested for beard areas, with Dr. Somji claiming that "even after a couple of treatments, you can maintain your white hairs or those pesky greys."The announcement has garnered significant attention, with many viewers expressing both interest and skepticism. Comments on the video range from personal testimonials of success to calls for scientific evidence and concerns about cost and potential long-term side effects. One user commented, "I’ve tried this and have seen a difference!" while another asked, "is there any peer reviewed study on this or is this a hype at this stage ?" The cost of treatments, estimated by some commenters at around £400 per session, also raised questions.Experts note that while regenerative medicine is a growing field, new treatments often require rigorous, independent clinical trials to substantiate claims of efficacy and safety. The long-term effects of exosome therapy for hair pigmentation reversal are still an area of ongoing research.
