[ICAP 2025] A Hair Loss Solution from Wells Dermatology That Drew Global Attention

[ICAP 2025] A hair loss solution from Wells Dermatology that drew global attention, ‘CeraExosome’ (invited lecture in Jakarta)

Hello.

From the place that studies the passage of skin time,

I’m Choi Won-woo, a board-certified dermatologist at Wells Dermatology.

While seeing patients in the clinic every day,

today I’d like to share a somewhat special business trip I took last month.

The location was Jakarta, Indonesia.

There, at Indonesia’s largest international aesthetic medicine conference,

‘ICAP 2025 (International Congress of Aesthetic Physicians),’

Wells Dermatology was officially invited as a representative of Korea and attended the event.

Dermatologists and medical professionals from around the world gathered

to exchange the latest trends and technologies at that exciting venue,

and the topic from Wells Dermatology that drew the attention of doctors worldwide was

‘Hair treatment using CeraExosome.’

Today, I will explain in detail why I traveled all the way to another country to introduce this technology,

and how it may offer an answer to your hair concerns,

based on our two years of clinical research.

1. Did you know that hair also ages?

In the past, hair loss care was approached simply as either ‘taking medicine’ or ‘getting a transplant.’

But times have changed.

Now, hair is also recognized as a subject of ‘anti-aging,’ just like skin care.

Hair aging appears in two major ways.

① Thinning

As we get older, hair becomes thinner, overall volume diminishes, and styling becomes difficult.

② Slowing

The speed at which new hair grows becomes significantly slower. It falls out before it can grow long enough, and the cycle of growing only as fine fuzz and then shedding repeats.

In the end, whether it is male pattern hair loss or female pattern hair loss, the essence is the same.

‘It becomes thinner and grows more slowly.’

So simply preventing hair from falling out is not enough.

What is needed is fundamental regeneration that helps hair grow thick and fast again.

2. Two years of verification: why we chose ‘CeraExosome’

At Wells Dermatology, we conducted numerous tests over the past two years to solve this problem of hair aging.

There were many ingredients that looked good in theory, but to confidently recommend them to our patients, we needed solid verification.

After all that, the final program we settled on was ‘CeraExosome.’

What is CeraExosome?

It is a procedure that uses exosomes naturally generated during the cultivation of a microbiome (microorganism) called ‘Sphingomonas.’

When this ingredient is applied to the scalp, it penetrates directly into the ‘dermal papilla,’ the root area of the hair.

Clinical results showed a remarkable effect: it promoted hair growth and increased thickness at about twice the speed of the existing approach.

The procedure itself is simple.

There may be a slight stinging sensation, but it is tolerable even without anesthesia, and it rarely interferes with daily life after the procedure.

3. What effects did actual patients see?

The results we confirmed after applying CeraExosome to patients of various ages and hair loss types over the past two years were encouraging.

Case 1. Male pattern hair loss (M-shaped hairline)

The most surprising thing was the ‘regeneration.’

Existing hair loss medications (such as finasteride) are good at preserving the hair you already have, but it is very difficult to make new hair grow in areas that have already become smooth and bare.

However, after the CeraExosome procedure, we confirmed new hair growing in the hairline area, where there had seemingly never been hair before.

I still remember the patient who thanked us, saying, “Doctor, this is the first time I’ve seen this area fill in.”

Case 2. Female pattern hair loss (thin crown, fine hair)

Women often have a hairline that recedes or a crown that looks sparse.

If you look closely, there are baby hairs, but they are so thin that they seem almost absent.

When we consistently performed CeraExosome for these patients,

the fine, fuzz-like hair became thicker and longer, resulting in an improved overall sense of volume.

In closing

At the conference in Indonesia, many overseas doctors

expressed amazement at our clinical results and asked many questions.

I felt a great sense of pride at their response, which was essentially, ‘Korea’s hair treatment technology has advanced this much.’

Have you given up on hair aging because there has been no suitable method until now?

The ‘CeraExosome’ that Wells Dermatology carefully verified over two years and presented on the world stage may be a new source of hope.

Of course, results may vary depending on the condition of each individual’s scalp.

Please visit us for an accurate diagnosis and consider making a hair anti-aging plan that is right for you.

Thank you for reading this long post.
