If you’ve been keeping abreast of the latest hair care trends, you’ve probably heard all about exosomes.
But clever scientists have made a breakthrough and it’s been making waves in the world of trichology and dermatology. Cue biosomes; tiny particles that offer benefits that extend far beyond basic moisturising and nourishing salon treatments.
So, if you’re seeking a solution to enhance hair growth, restore your scalp’s health, combat common hair issues, or simply rock the best mane ever, “biosomes and all their many benefits could be the key to your hair’s transformation,” shares Ricardo Vila Nova.
Biosomes explained
In simple terms, biosomes are advanced delivery systems, often derived from natural or bioengineered sources, designed to enhance the absorption and effectiveness of ingredients used in hair and scalp treatments. “They are microscopic vesicles, meaning they are tiny, spherical structures that can carry a variety of active ingredients like growth factors, peptides, vitamins, proteins, and lipids. The beauty of biosomes lies in their ability to mimic the natural processes of the body, allowing them to penetrate the scalp at a cellular level for targeted, long-lasting results,” shares Vila Nova.
Generally made from lipids (fats) that form a protective outer membrane. A membrane that’s similar to the cell membranes in your body. This similarity is what helps the active ingredients they carry get past the outermost layers of your skin and into the areas where they’re needed most. “This makes them an incredibly efficient way to deliver potent ingredients directly to the hair follicles and scalp, promoting healthier hair from the inside out,” adds Vila Nova.
How do biosomes work?
By providing the scalp with essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins, biosomes can stimulate hair growth, enhance follicle health, and improve the overall condition of your hair. Because the biosomes can effectively bypass the scalp’s natural barriers, allowing for deeper penetration of active ingredients, this can result in more noticeable and longer-lasting benefits.
“Another significant way that biosomes work for hair health is by improving the skin’s ability to regenerate and repair itself. The lipids in biosomes are not only effective at delivering nutrients but also assist in rebuilding the scalp’s protective barrier, which helps maintain moisture and prevent environmental damage that could hinder hair growth. When used as part of a treatment, biosomes also aid in calming inflammation, reducing scalp irritation, and promoting a balanced scalp environment – perfect conditions for optimal hair health,” reveals Vila Nova.
The benefits of biosomes
When it comes to the numerous benefits that a biosome based treatment can provide, the results are nothing short of transformative, think…
Improved hair growth: Biosomes stimulate hair follicles by nourishing them with vital nutrients, promoting the growth of new, healthy hair.
Enhanced scalp health: By improving moisture retention and reducing inflammation, biosomes help to balance the scalp’s natural ecosystem, reducing dryness and irritation.
Stronger hair follicles: The nutrients carried by biosomes help to fortify hair follicles, leading to stronger and more resilient hair.
Increased hair thickness and density: With consistent use, biosomes can help hair grow thicker and fuller, as they target both hair growth and follicle health.
Prevention of hair thinning: Biosomes help reduce hair loss by addressing the root causes of thinning, such as poor scalp health and nutrient deficiencies.
Biosomes vs. exosomes: what’s the difference?
Both biosomes and exosomes are touted for their regenerative capabilities, but they are fundamentally different in how they function, especially when it comes to hair health. While both are involved in cell communication and growth, they differ in their structure and mechanism.
“Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and RNA from one cell to another, playing a role in cellular communication and repair. While they have shown promise in hair growth treatments, their use in hair restoration is still relatively new and their effectiveness varies depending on the formulation,” explains Vila Nova.
On the other hand, biosomes are more stable and versatile, and they excel at delivering a wide range of ingredients directly to the hair follicles. “Unlike exosomes, which rely heavily on cellular transfer for their benefits, biosomes can encapsulate a more diverse array of active ingredients, like vitamins, antioxidants, and growth factors, within their lipid membrane. This allows for more targeted and efficient treatments for the scalp and hair follicles, offering superior results,” believes Vila Nova who offers biosome treatments at his clinics.
While exosomes have their place in regenerative medicine, biosomes are often considered a better option for improving scalp health and encouraging hair growth because they offer a more customisable delivery method and are easier to formulate for specific needs. In short, biosomes are a more precise and effective tool in the fight for healthier, fuller hair.
What does a biosome treatment entail?
At 212.2 Ricardo Vila Nova, biosome treatments involve micro-needling to help increase the absorption of biosome-infused serums. This combination of the biosomes targeted delivery system with the physical creation of microchannels in the skin can majorly accelerate the benefits of the biosomes, encouraging faster and more noticeable results.
How often should you have a biosome treatment?
The frequency of biosome treatments can vary depending on individual needs, but for most people every six months is generally recommended. In extreme cases they can be used monthly, but thanks to their powerful regenerative properties, biosomes gradually improve the condition of the scalp and stimulate hair follicles for more robust growth without frequent use. Vila Nova does, however, recommend complementary hair health treatments in between.
Whether you’re struggling with thinning hair, hair loss, scalp irritation, or just want to enhance the quality of your tresses, biosomes offer a non-invasive and targeted solution that works on a cellular level. With regular treatments, you’ll notice new hairs and stronger, thicker tresses overall.
