Elevai exosomes may help may help reverse hair thinninhg and cool inflammation in the scalp, new research suggests.
The new study assessed the application of topical Elevai exosomes, in clinic and at home, among people experiencing hair loss or hair thinning. Study participants were given in-office treatment consisting of scalp microneedling, then Elevai empower, a topical exosome serum designed specifically for in-office application was applied, followed by at-home use of Elevai enfinity, a topical exosome product, on the areas of concern.
Results were assessed using imaging analysis up to 12 months, showing ceased crown inflammation, reversal of miniaturized hairs and recovered hair from the dormant phase, among other benefits.
“These exosomes were utilized in the early and late stages of hair loss, and we saw promising results, giving us confidence that this technology can be used successfully in combination with other hair restoration approaches,” says Carly Klein, President of National Hair Loss Medical Aesthetics (NHLMA) in a news release.
This study is a precursor to ongoing research that Elevai is conducting on the new hair and scalp care product line, Elevai S-Series Root Renewal System. The Elevai S-Series product line is a three-part hair and scalp care system that utilizes a first-in-class dual mechanism powered by exosomes and mitochondrial technology that incorporates Elevai’s proprietary PREx (Precision Regenerative Exosome Technology) and Yuva Bioscience’s Y100 mitochondrial technology.
“We are in the process of conducting a follow-on study with the combination of Elevai exosomes and Yuva’s Y100 mitochondrial technology to address common scalp and hair care concerns, such as the appearance of thinning hair, by promoting scalp and hair vitality,” says Jordan R. Plews, PhD, the Chief Executive Officer of Elevai Skincare Inc.
Elevai Labs, Inc. signed a licensing agreement with Yuva Biosciences, Inc. to research and develop means to incorporate Yuva Bioscience’s mitochondrial research with ELEVAI’s PREx (to potentially develop topical skincare formulations that combine mitochondrial biology with Elevai’s human umbilical mesenchymal stem cell derived exosomes.
