Exosomes Treatment Sherman Oaks, CA
Exosome therapy is a buzzing aesthetic treatment that regenerates the skin and regrows hair. It can treat wrinkles, fade scars, improve acne, and provide many other benefits. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound healing! It is minimally invasive and has little or no recovery time.
Exosome therapy entails applying exosomes—naturally occurring components of the cell—into the treatment area to stimulate collagen formation and cell regeneration. It is usually done in combination with microneedling or laser therapy. The benefits are similar to PRP and PRF, but without the need for a blood draw.

What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are found in every cell of the human body. They are found in the cells of plants and animals as well. They are not cells and cannot regenerate. However, they are important in cell growth and regeneration.
Exosomes are tiny vesicles that measure 30-200 nanometers. These tiny particles are potent and vital in the body.
They are like the FedEx of the body, delivering messages from cell to cell.
They are filled with bioactive materials—lipids, growth factors, proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. These molecules are used to send signals to neighboring cells. This regulates immune response, wound healing, and cell growth. These come together to improve skin tone and texture.
Exosomes contain and release miRNA(microRNA) and mRNA(Messenger RNA). Through these, it functions as a gene expression modulator.
Exosomes play roles in treating:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne
- Acne scars
- Lax skin
- Dermatitis
- Inflammatory conditions—psoriasis, lichen planus
- Hair loss, etc.
There are plant-based and animal-based exosomes. They are taken through rigorous processes to isolate and grow the exosomes without contaminants.
- Stem cells are chosen from the source site and grown in the lab
- Exosomes are isolated from the culture and harvested
- They are purified by removing larger particles, infectious sources, extracellular debris, and unwanted proteins
- Quality testing is done to ensure the appropriate size, quantity, and activity

Exosomes FAQs
Do exosomes work in skincare?
Exosome therapy has been clinically shown to work effectively. Exosomes help to reduce wrinkles, fade scars, and improve skin tone by increasing the production of collagen, which causes the skin to regenerate and repair itself, improve, and look healthier.
What are exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny but powerful vesicles that contain a “cargo” of bioactive proteins, growth factors, and nucleic acids, used for skin and hair rejuvenation. Exosomes are naturally found and released by various cells in the body. They help cells communicate. They pass information to surrounding cells to boost, repair, and rejuvenate the skin.
What is the difference between Exosomes and Retinol?
Retinol works by stimulating cell turnover on the skin’s surface. It exfoliates the skin. It primarily affects the epidermis. Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by cells that carry various bioactive molecules. They are derived from human or plant sources. Exosomes function on a deeper cellular level by delivering bioactive molecules to cells, like proteins and RNA, which directly interact with cells to stimulate repair and rejuvenation processes, from within, often with less irritation.
What are the side effects of Exosomes?
There may be little irritation on the skin, redness, swelling, and slight pain at the injection site. This varies according to the patient. Generally, it does not cause pain except for any discomfort that may stem from a concomitant procedure.
What do exosomes do for skin?
Cytokines, growth factors, and immune-modulating enzymes inside exosomes signal to the skin to rejuvenate. This skin turnover and activation evens out skin tone and texture by reducing pigmentation and filling in wrinkles with one’s own collagen production. The result is a smoother, firmer complexion, which lessens the visibility of fine lines and deeper wrinkles.
What are exosomes with microneedling?
While microneedling in and of itself induces a rejuvenation cascade of signals, simultaneous topical exosomes with their cell signaling enzymes add to the activation of cells to create a more potent procedure. This powerful combination reduces the signs of aging, speeds up skin repair, and improves skin tone and texture overall.
How much does exosome skin treatment cost?
Typically, exosome skin treatments go from $500 to $2,500 a session, depending on the type and quality of the exosome, how it was derived, the amount used, the experience of the provider, and the location of the office. We offer top-quality services at competitive pricing. Ask about our monthly specials!
How much does microneedling with exosomes cost?
The price of this combined procedure depends on the quality of the exosome (how it was derived /prepared) and the microneedling device. Also, the amount used and experience of the provider can total to a cost ranging from $800 to $3,000 per session. Our medspa carries top-quality products and devices at competitive prices.
How much does exosome hair loss treatment cost?
Exosome treatments for hair loss cost between $800 and $3,000 per session, and several sessions are frequently advised for best results. Our prices are competitive.
How much does Morpheus8 with exosomes cost?
Exosomes can be applied to the skin after Morpheus 8 for better healing and more efficacious rejuvenation. This usually costs between $1,400 to $4,000, depending on the quality of exosomes used and provider experience. Using the top ingredients and devices in the market, our pricing is still competitive with the national average.
How much do exosome injections cost?
Exosome injections can cost between $800 and $2,000 per treatment, depending on the purpose (skin, hair, or joint therapy). However, bear in mind that Exosomes have not been FDA-approved for direct injection.
Are there any FDA-approved exosome products?
No, currently, the FDA has not approved any exosome-based products for skin, hair, or medical treatments.
What are the side effects of exosome skin care?
As with any other topical agent, a risk of irritation or allergy to the product is possible, though unlikely. In case of Exosome injections, however, the risks would be similar to any other allogeneic biologic product, such as blood transfusions.
Can exosomes cause tumors?
While there is no current evidence that exosomes cause tumors, FDA approval is not needed for the topical application of these products. As for the injection of Exosomes, we look forward to companies investing in FDA clinical trials to study their safety further, as these products are relatively new to the aesthetic market.
Can exosomes change your DNA?
No, exosomes do not alter DNA; they are proteins and enzymes that deliver signals between cells. They do not have DNA particles (nucleotides) to be able to embed into the genome.
Can exosomes cause hair shedding?
Some patients may experience temporary hair shedding as the initial shock of treatment causes weaker hairs to fall out before stronger regrowth begins. This is also true of microneedling alone, without exosomes.
What is the difference between Morpheus 8 and exosomes?
Morpheus 8 is a microneedling procedure that delivers radiofrequency-derived heat underneath the skin, which causes skin tightening as well as collagen production. Exosomes, in comparison, deliver cellular signals of cytokines and growth factors to activate cell regeneration. Combined or alternating treatments with the two usually give the best final results.
Are exosomes better than PRP?
Both exosomes and PRP are great. Exosome therapy doesn’t require a blood draw from the recipient, and may carry different cellular signals than those of the patient since it’s from an outside source. Also, the contents are limited to vesicle products only. PRP, however, is freshly derived, is autologous, so more of the patient’s own cell signals, and consists of plasma and cells as well as the communication vesicles. A treatment plan that includes different modalities generally has the best results.
What is the difference between peptides and exosomes?
Peptides are proteins and consist of short chains of amino acids. They can have rejuvenating effects on the skin. Exosomes are vesicles that contain different kinds of peptides (proteins), growth factors, and cell signals called cytokines. So, exosomes are bigger structures that carry the molecules of peptides.
What is the difference between minoxidil and exosomes?
Minoxidil is a topical drug that stimulates hair growth through vasodilation and by reducing inflammation. Exosomes, however carry cell signals that activate the regeneration of hair follicles. The two can be combined for more efficacious results.
What not to do after exosome treatment?
If topically applied, no restrictions are necessary other than not washing the product off the skin for at least 12-24 hours. If combined with microneedling, avoid sun exposure for 2-3 weeks.
