Lustriva® Part 2 of 3: Lustriva® + PRP + Exosomes: The Modern Hair Growth Protocol


Hottest Skincare Trends 2026: Lustriva® Part 2 of 3: Lustriva® + PRP + Exosomes: The Modern Hair Growth Protocol


If Part 1 was about the science behind Lustriva®, this is where theory meets real-world dermatology. Because here’s the truth: hair regeneration is rarely a single-ingredient story. It is a puzzle with many delicate, interlocking pieces.


And if you want truly meaningful results—not just fewer hairs in the drain, but thicker strands, better density, and a more confident sense of “my hair feels like me again”—you need a plan that works from the inside and the outside.


That’s where Lustriva becomes interesting. It’s not a magic bullet; it’s a supportive anchor. And anchors work best when other pieces pull in the same direction.


So today, I’m walking you through how I combine Lustriva with PRP, exosomes, microneedling, peptides, and lifestyle inputs in a modern, evidence-informed hair restoration approach. This is exactly how I think behind the scenes when a patient sits in my clinic chair and whispers, “I don’t feel like myself anymore—my hair is thinning.”

Welcome to Part 2 of the series.


Why internal + external therapy works better together


Hair follicles are tiny but metabolically demanding little creatures. They require:

  • consistent nutrient delivery

  • sufficient blood flow

  • strong collagen/keratin scaffolding

  • a calm, non-inflamed scalp

  • balanced hormones

  • an environment safe from oxidative stress


Lustriva can help provide nutritional stability inside the follicle, improving its structure, resilience, and ability to move toward thicker, healthier output.

External treatments—like PRP and exosomes—deliver regenerative signals, growth factors, and microcirculatory benefits from the outside in.


Together, they create a push-and-pull effect:

  • The inside provides the building blocks

  • The outside provides the stimulation and “wake-up call”


It’s elegant when done well.


How I integrate Lustriva with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)


PRP has been a workhorse in hair restoration for years—and despite TikTok noise, it still stands strong . But one thing patients often don’t know is this: PRP works best in a well-nourished, low-inflammation environment.


When a patient starts Lustriva internally, while I’m simultaneously delivering PRP externally, several things happen:

  • Follicles are more prepared to receive growth factors.

  • Microcirculation improves, enhancing PRP effectiveness.

  • Keratin and collagen structures become more resilient.

  • Hair shafts have better quality during regrowth.


If Lustriva is like supplying the construction site with better materials, PRP is like hiring more workers and encouraging them to start building again.


I see the strongest synergy when Lustriva starts 3–4 weeks before PRP, because early biological shifts support the upcoming regenerative treatments.


Both sides of the equation matter.


How I thread Lustriva into exosome therapy


Exosomes are one of the most exciting things in modern dermatology—essentially biological “text messages” carrying instructions like:

“Wake up.”“Repair this.”“Produce more collagen.”“Shift from resting to growing.”

When you combine these signals with internal support from Lustriva:

  • Exosomes encourage follicles to re-enter anagen (growth)

  • Silicon and biotin strengthen the protein matrix of new strands

  • Arginine improves scalp microvascular flow, helping exosomes reach follicles efficiently

  • The lower-inflammation environment makes follicles more receptive to the regenerative message


If PRP is the classic symphony, exosomes are the modern electronic remix—cleaner, more potent, beautifully precise.


But both benefit enormously from internal nutritional support.

Without it, it’s like feeding an exhausted marathon runner electrolytes only after they collapse. Timing matters. Preparation matters.


Microneedling + Lustriva: A hidden super-combination


Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the scalp, improving:

  • product penetration

  • blood flow

  • cellular turnover

  • local regenerative signaling


When this is layered on top of Lustriva:

  • The follicles experiencing mild controlled injury receive rich biotin-silicon-arginine resourcing that supports recovery.

  • The scalp’s regenerative state is heightened by internal nutrient availability.

  • Newer, healthier strands emerging from microneedling stimulation have stronger keratin structure.


This pairing, while lesser known, is one of the sleeper hits in the hair restoration world . Especially for women who prefer non-injectable paths.


Lustriva + peptide serums: the cosmetic-medical hybrid


Topical peptides are essentially “smart messengers” reminding skin and follicles to behave youthfully.

When I combine Lustriva internally with peptide-based hair serums externally:

  • peptides send signals

  • Lustriva provides raw materials


It becomes a feedback loop of beauty from both sides.


Women in their 30s–60s tend to respond especially well because their follicles haven’t “shut down”—they’re simply behaving sluggishly. Peptides + Lustriva = the perfect “gentle nudge.”


Lifestyle factors that amplify—or sabotage—the protocol


Inside-out hair plans fall apart without lifestyle alignment. Here are the ones that matter most clinically:


StressChronic cortisol pushes follicles into telogen (shedding). Lustriva cannot override hormonal chaos.


Protein deficiency is keratin—if you don’t eat enough protein, follicles starve slowly.


Iron depletion is especially common in women around perimenopause. Nobody grows strong hair on ferritin below ~50.


Crash diets: The #1 cause of sudden shedding in young women—not genetics.


Over-washing + harsh productsInflamed scalps don’t grow happy hair.

When the lifestyle side is corrected, Lustriva’s performance skyrockets.

When it’s ignored, even PRP and exosomes limp along.


Who benefits the most from a combined protocol


From my dermatology chair, these groups consistently respond best:

  • Women with diffuse thinning and visible widening of the part

  • Post-illness or post-stress shedding once the major causes are ruled out

  • Individuals with early-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia

  • Those preparing for PRP or exosome sessions

  • Patients wanting a cosmetic boost without medications

  • Women in perimenopause are noticing texture changes, dullness, and reduced density


The earlier you support the follicle, the easier it is to coax back into fuller growth.


Who benefits the least


This is crucial honesty: Combined plans show limited value when:

  • patient expectations are unrealistic (wanting instant miracles)

  • There is extensive scarring alopecia

  • Follicles are fully miniaturized and dormant for years

  • Medical causes remain untreated

  • Severe hormonal imbalance persists

  • Patient is inconsistent with at-home care


Internal support is powerful, but it is not a resurrection spell.


My real-world treatment philosophy


I don’t believe in “one magic product.”I believe in layered stimulation timed correctly.

And typically, I build plans like this:

  • Internal support (Lustriva)

  • Scalp detox + healthy haircare

  • Regenerative treatments (PRP, exosomes, microneedling)

  • Targeted topicals (peptides, growth factor serums)

  • Lifestyle alignment for hormonal and nutritional stability


When these layers work together, it feels—both clinically and emotionally—like watching someone reclaim themselves.


Because hair carries identity. It carries femininity, youthfulness, confidence, and the quiet comfort of feeling like “you.”


My job is simply to support that journey with honesty and expertise.


And we’ll close this series in Part 3, where I explore something fascinating: Lustriva and beauty-from-within for skin, wrinkles, nails, glow, and aging gracefully—because the science actually goes far beyond hair.


May your skin glow as brightly as your heart.
