How is QR678® different from EXOSOMES?
QR678®
The QR678 research & development platform technology is a proprietary first-in-class technology. This science backed technology is giving rise to multiple products that arrest hair fall and address the thickness, density of hair follicles leading to greater coverage in hair loss. This R&D technology deals with multiple human hair growth related growth factors that are naturally present in our scalp making products derived from these completely natural. Research on this platform technology has resulted in this being awarded USA & Indian patents and has led to over 13+ clinical research papers being published with products derived from this unique technology. The hair growth factors penetrate deep into the scalp and provide nourishment to the scale. Unlike other treatments that contains harmful medication, products derived from QR678 are almost completely devoid of side effects.
Exosomes
Exosomes are ‘signaling molecules’ that are injected into the scalp to trigger the secretion of growth factors. They are protein building blocks due to the presence of mRNA in their membrane. This mRNA synthesizes proteins according to its cell of origin. Therefore, when extracted from hair follicles, exosomes facilitate hair growth and can help prevent hair loss.
Exosomes: Promises or Pitfalls?
Although promising on paper, the research behind the rationale for exosome treatment is on-going. There is still a lot to learn about the efficacy and mechanism of action of exosome therapy. There is a need for reliable evidence in the form of research studies published in peer-reviewed journals with appropriate methodology to back the advent of exosome therapy for treatment of hair loss.
In the year 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a Public Safety Notification on exosome products stating the violative nature of “stem cells” products and their unsubstantiated claims in treating various conditions. The FDA clarified that currently there is no FDA-approved exosome product in the market.
