“…The product contains aesculus hippocastanum extract, Lecithin, AMP, and ATP. Noticeably, lecithin itself was reported to aid in optimizing the necessary protein levels for hair growth and create a protective barrier on the skin and hair by its high concentration of fatty acids, consequently enhancing the texture and appearance of hair by imparting shine and luster 50,51 . Research has evaluated lecithin‐base nanoparticles for minoxidil delivery and suggested hair growth enhancement via follicular administration using lecithin‐based products 52,53 .…”

In this study, scalp tissues from Korean adults between 20 and 80 without skin disease were used. Scalp tissues were processed, and hair follicles were isolated and cultured with different treatments (including Bioscalp, Ultra Exo Booster, and Ultra S Line Plus) from Ultra V company. Over 12 days, observations and measurements of hair follicle characteristics were recorded at intervals (Days 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12). The study assessed the impact of these substances on hair follicle growth and morphology. Bioscalp, combined with Ultra Exo Booster and Ultra S Line Plus, showed significant hair elongation in ex vivo. Preservation of hair bulb diameter was observed, indicating potential for sustained hair growth by exosome‐based products. The hair growth cycle analysis suggested a lower transition to the catagen stage in test products from Ultra V compared to non‐treated groups. The research findings indicated that the tested formulations, especially the combination of Bioscalp, Ultra Exo Booster, and Ultra S Line Plus, demonstrated significant effectiveness in promoting hair growth, maintaining the integrity of the hair bulb, and reducing the transition to the catagen stage. The study suggests promising alternative treatments for hair loss, illustrating results that were as good as those of the conventional testing product groups.
