Scientific research continues to advance in the field of hair loss treatments. By 2025, several avenues are being studied in depth.
Hair cloning, exosomes, and certain biotechnological applications could ultimately constitute alternative solutions to traditional transplants.
These recent innovations are promising and open the way to new treatments for hair medicine.
Hair cloning refers to the possibility of duplicating healthy hair follicles to create new hair. This technique, which is still experimental, is based on the culture of stem cells extracted from active follicles.
In practice, this process begins with a minimal removal of healthy follicles located in the occipital area, a region generally unaffected by baldness.
These follicles contain dermal and epidermal stem cells at the origin of hair growth.
Surgeons take a sample of active hair follicles, isolate the cells, then cryopreserve them in the laboratory in order to multiply them, and then re-implant them in balding areas of the scalp.
HairClone® makes it possible to create a personalised "follicle bank". This has two objectives for future therapeutic applications:
Today, hair cloning as a treatment is not yet available, despite significant scientific advances.
Despite these limitations, the technology offers definite hope, particularly for patients with baldness or an insufficient donor area. If research is successful, it could revolutionise hair restoration protocols as we know them today.
Exosomes are tiny particles produced naturally by cells. They play a role in cellular communication by transporting proteins, RNA and other molecules. Applied to dermatology and trichology, they are attracting growing interest in tissue regeneration research. Increasingly used in innovative treatments, exosomes are sometimes combined with PRP injections, another clinically proven regenerative approach that boosts regrowth by directly stimulating scalp cells.
According to Epotam Magazine, exosomes could be a revolution in the aesthetic field. Unlike conventional treatments, hair exosomes act at a cellular level, potentially offering a more natural and sustainable approach to hair regrowth.
Also in the hair field, some experimental protocols are using stem cell-derived exosomes in the hope of reactivating weakened follicles or slowing hair loss. These approaches could represent a non-invasive alternative to transplants or drug treatments, but their effectiveness has yet to be scientifically proven. We will have to wait for rigorous validations before considering them as a reliable solution that can match a traditional FUE hair transplant.
Among the other innovative avenues for hair treatment in 2025, here are two that are still being studied in laboratories at the moment:
Some patients are looking for non-medical alternatives to restore a more even appearance to their hair. If you're one of them, you should know that among the current solutions, tricopigmentation, which is a non-surgical treatment, makes it possible to improve the appearance of thinning areas using a scalp micropigmentation technique, offering a natural and immediate result.
In short, the future of hair care is heading towards personalised treatments, tailored to each genetic and biological profile. By combining these new approaches with technological innovations, expert hair care doctors may be able in the near future to offer treatments tailored to the specific needs of each patient, whether to stimulate regrowth or visually improve hair density.
Here's a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of current hair treatments and innovations in the field, most of which are still at the experimental stage:
Lasting results, proven procedure
Requires sufficient donor area
Instant visual effect, natural camouflage
Aesthetic solution only, non-surgical, requiring prior maintenance
Infinite regeneration, no loss of density
Ongoing research and development
Natural stimulation, non-invasive and potentially regenerative
Not proven, data still limited
Fast solution, no donor area required
Still at the experimental research stage, risk of rejection, artificial appearance possible
In the current state of science, the FUE transplant remains the reference solution, validated by years of practice. New technologies could enhance this offering in the future, but not all of them are yet ready to be incorporated into routine practice.
Unlike other countries, Switzerland remains discreet about these innovations.
HairClone®, a hair bank paving the way for hair cloning treatments, has been implemented in the United Kingdom and around the world. This solution is coming to Switzerland and is now available at our Croix d'Or Hair Clinic.

Rather than an immediate revolution, 2025 may mark a transition toward more biological and less invasive approaches. These avenues remain experimental, but they suggest interesting possibilities for the coming years.
In the meantime, FUE hair transplants , medical treatments , PRP injections and tricopigmentation represent the most proven and available options to date.
