    process of restoring damaged cells and tissues

    Repair, in the context of biology and hair, refers to the process by which cells and tissues restore themselves after damage. This can involve the regeneration of hair follicles, the healing of the scalp, or the correction of cellular damage that may have led to conditions like alopecia. For professionals, this encompasses mechanisms such as DNA repair, cellular proliferation, and the activation of stem cells to replace lost or damaged hair.

      Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hair follicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stem cells but products of them, contain bioactive chemicals and specific growth factors that promote new blood vessel formation, increase cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair, all crucial for hair health.
