Exosome
Therapy
A clinician-led regenerative skin treatment; products, delivery methods, evidence, regulation and availability vary. Individual assessment is required.
Potential benefits
Treatment may support skin recovery, hydration, texture, tone and overall skin quality. However, clinical evidence is still developing, and results are not guaranteed. Success varies according to individual biological response and protocol selection.
How it is used
Exosomes are often applied after microneedling or another controlled procedure where clinically appropriate. This is not a stem-cell treatment nor a cure for disease. Suitability is most common for face, neck and décolletage where appropriate.
Suitability
Suitable for adults after consultation. Defer or avoid in pregnancy/breastfeeding, active infection or inflammation, relevant allergy, impaired healing, or uncontrolled medical disease. Clinician review of medicines and previous reactions is required.
What it is
Exosome therapy involves extracellular vesicle–based preparations used topically or integrated with clinician-selected procedures. Composition, formulation and source differ between products, so individual assessment and detailed product review are essential for safety.
Clinical FAQs
Is it a stem-cell treatment?
No, exosome therapy uses extracellular vesicles, which are distinct from stem cells themselves.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence is still developing cautiously; assessment and clinician review of specific products are essential.
Is it a painful treatment?
Discomfort varies depending on the clinician-selected delivery method and individual sensitivity.
How many sessions are typically required?
The number of sessions varies according to individual assessment, skin history, and planned clinical intervals.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Exosome application can be combined with other regenerative procedures where appropriate for individual results.
