EXOSOMES & PEPTIDES EXPLAINED

Peptides and exosomes are supportive tools, not cures. When used appropriately, and combined with other non‑invasive therapies, they may help optimise the scalp environment and support healthier hair function over time.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles naturally involved in cellular communication. They carry signalling molecules such as proteins, lipids and genetic material that allow cells to communicate with one another.

In scalp and hair health, exosomes are used to support communication within the scalp environment, helping to create conditions that may be more favourable for follicle function.

They do not create new follicles and they are not stem cells. Their role is supportive rather than regenerative.

The Exosomes We Use at LHSH

E50 Salmon‑Derived Exosomes (Korea)

E50 salmon exosomes are derived from salmon DNA and are widely used within regenerative and aesthetic medicine internationally. They are valued for their biocompatibility and signalling potential, particularly in tissues requiring repair, balance and cellular support.

In scalp applications, E50 exosomes are used to:

• Support scalp vitality

• Help calm inflammatory responses

• Encourage healthier cellular signalling around hair follicles

A consultant dermatologist working within regenerative medicine notes:

“Exosome therapy does not replace medical treatment, but when used appropriately it may support tissue environments where inflammation and signalling disruption are contributing factors.”

ExoDiamond™ Plant‑Derived Exosomes

ExoDiamond plant exosomes are derived from botanical sources and are selected for their anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Within hair and scalp care, plant‑based exosomes are used to:

• Support a calmer scalp environment

• Help reduce scalp sensitivity and irritation

• Complement biological hair health strategies where inflammation is present

Their plant origin makes them particularly suitable for clients seeking non‑animal‑derived options within a broader scalp support programme.

What Are Hair Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules within the body. In scalp and hair applications, peptides are used to support cellular activity, circulation and follicular communication.

Peptides do not force hair growth. Instead, they work by supporting the biological processes that influence hair quality, resilience and scalp health.

The Hair Peptide Programme We Use

Mesopotamia Hair Peptide Complex

The Mesopotamia hair peptide formulation is designed specifically for scalp application. It contains a combination of biomimetic peptides selected to support:

• Follicular signalling

• Scalp circulation

• Hair fibre quality

• Reduced excessive shedding where appropriate

Peptide therapy is particularly effective when used consistently and as part of a wider programme, rather than as a one‑off intervention.

A clinician specialising in scalp health comments:

“Peptide‑based therapies can be valuable adjuncts in hair health programmes, particularly when combined with scalp optimisation and lifestyle support.”

Why We Combine Exosomes & Peptides with Cryotherapy

At LHSH, exosome and peptide treatments are often paired with TargetCool™ cryotherapy, a non‑invasive medical cooling device used to regulate tissue temperature.

TargetCool™ Cryo Scalp Therapy

TargetCool uses controlled cold air to:

• Reduce scalp inflammation

• Improve treatment penetration

• Calm over‑stimulated scalp tissue

• Enhance client comfort during advanced treatments

Cooling the scalp immediately before or after exosome and peptide application may help create a more receptive environment, particularly where inflammation or sensitivity is present.

This combined approach reflects current best practice within non‑invasive regenerative care.

What These Treatments Can Support

When appropriately selected, exosome and peptide therapies may help support:

• Scalp health and balance

• Reduced inflammation and irritation

• Improved hair fibre quality

• Reduced excessive shedding in some individuals

• Better long‑term follicular support

They work best as part of a structured programme that may also include scalp care, lifestyle guidance, nutritional insight, red light therapy and correct hair management.

What These Treatments Cannot Do

It is equally important to understand limitations.

Exosomes and peptides:

• Do not cure hair loss

• Do not override genetics

• Do not create new hair follicles

• Do not replace medical treatment where required

Honest expectation‑setting is central to ethical care.

Darren Fowler on Exosomes & Peptides at LHSH

“What excites me about exosomes and peptides isn’t hype — it’s how they support the scalp environment when used correctly. We’re seeing calmer scalps, better hair quality and reduced anxiety because clients understand what we’re doing and why.”

“These treatments are most powerful when they’re part of a bigger picture. Education, consistency and realistic expectations are what deliver the best outcomes.”

Our Philosophy

At London Hair & Scalp Health, we take a responsible, evidence‑informed approach.

We believe in explaining what treatments can and cannot do, so decisions are informed rather than emotional. Our goal is not to sell technology, but to support long‑term hair and scalp health with integrity, clarity and confidence
