Does the exosome treatment hurt?

Hair loss affects 1 in 3 women and 2 in 3 men in Quebec. You've heard about exosomes, this revolution in regenerative medicine. But one question concerns you: does it hurt?

Let's talk frankly about what really worries you.

The truth about sensations: no unbearable pain

Contrary to common beliefs, exosome treatments for hair regrowth are very well tolerated by the vast majority of our patients at DC Clinic.

With traditional injections

When exosomes are administered through micro-injections into the scalp (as in our conventional treatment), here's what you really feel:

• Light tingling sensation similar to an acupuncture session

• Minimal discomfort thanks to the ultra-fine mesotherapy needles

• Short duration: only 5 to 10 minutes of treatment

• Immediate recovery: you leave without a bandage

Our comfort protocol: An anesthetic cream can be applied 15 minutes before the treatment if you are particularly sensitive. Most of our patients tell us it was much less painful than they imagined.

But we go further: the zero-injection option

Exclusive innovation at DC Clinic: We are proud to introduce the first injection-free alternative in Quebec with our revolutionary technology Cynosure Ultra Laser + topical exosomes.

This innovation completely changes the game for people who fear needles.

The needle-free revolution: Cynosure Ultra Laser + Exosomes

How it works

Cynosure's LaseMD Ultra Laser creates invisible micro-channels in the scalp, allowing exosomes to be absorbed directly topically. It's like gently opening the doors of your hair follicles to allow growth factors in.

The sensations:

• Pleasant light warmth on the scalp

• No pain, no tingling

• Sensation similar to a gentle massage

• Absolute comfort from start to finish

The advantages of total comfort

During the treatment:

• Zero stress, zero apprehension

• You can completely relax

• Similar duration: 10-15 minutes

• Almost meditative experience

After the treatment:

• No significant redness

• Immediate return to your activities

• No social downtime

• Scalp feels revitalized

Comparison of sensations: injection vs laser

Why choose the injection-free option?

Ideal if you are:

• Sensitive to needles or anxious at the sight of them

• In a hurry: no waiting time for anesthesia

• Discreet: treatment during your lunch break

• Perfectionist: absolute comfort without compromise

Are the results equivalent?

Great news: Research shows that exosome penetration via laser can be as effective as direct injection. The Ultra Laser creates optimal absorption pathways that enable growth factors to reach deep into the hair follicles.

Results timeline:

• 1-2 months: Slowdown of hair loss

• 3-4 months: First signs of regrowth

• 6 months: Visible densification

• 9-12 months: Complete transformation

Frequently Asked Questions about Comfort

Is the scalp sensitive?

The scalp does have more nerve endings, but the Ultra Laser perfectly respects this sensitivity. The non-ablative technology creates no trauma.

Are there any side effects?

With the laser option, effects are almost non-existent: slight redness that disappears in less than 24 hours, sometimes a pleasant cooling sensation.

Can I drive afterwards?

Absolutely. Unlike some aesthetic treatments, you retain your full autonomy.

How many sessions are needed?

Optimal protocol: 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, whether you choose injection or laser. The only difference is in the comfort during the treatment.

The science behind exosomes

Exosomes are microscopic vesicles naturally produced by our cells. They contain growth factors, proteins, and micro-RNAs that stimulate cellular regeneration.

Their action on hair follicles:

• Reactivation of dormant follicles

• Stimulation of scalp blood circulation

• Improvement of inter-cellular communication

• Strengthening of hair structure

Why they work so well:

Exosomes act as natural cellular messengers. They
