Rion Trialing Topical Exosome Product

Rion Aesthetics, a branch of the Rion Therapeutics company, is trialing a topical exosome-based hair growth product, according to its website. Last June, Follicle Thought published an article featuring Rion and other exosome companies who are delving into hair loss therapies. Since then, the information about Rion’s work in hair growth has shifted to the Rion Aesthetics website. I reached out to Rion Aesthetics who told me that they are seeking to release a topical “cosmetic” product for scalp/hair health later this year in 2023. They also mentioned potentially initiating a FDA clinical trial for an injectable version of their exosome product for hair growth later this year. 

Rion Aesthetics currently sells a topical exosome-derived product for skincare called plated. If their exosome product for hair growth pans out it could provide an option for those who avoid drug-based topicals, and could also bolster regimens which include them. Note that the pricing of Rion’s first skincare product is quite premium.
