Exosomes
The next generation of regenerative medicine for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and accelerated healing
The next generation of regenerative medicine for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and accelerated healing
Exosomes represent the cutting edge of regenerative aesthetics. These tiny extracellular vesicles contain powerful growth factors, proteins, and genetic material that communicate directly with your cells, triggering regeneration and repair at the cellular level.
At MedBeautyLA, we use healing exosomes to enhance results and reduce downtime. Best when combined post microneedling, scalp microneedling for hair loss, ResurFx fractional laser, and the SaltFacial ultrasound cavitation. Exosome treatments accelerate healing, boost collagen production, and deliver dramatic anti-aging results...
Exosomes are microscopic messengers that cells use to communicate with each other. When applied to the skin during or after microneedling, they signal your skin cells to:
15-90 minutes
3-6 treatments
1-2 days
6-12 months
Real results from our Downtown LA office: smoother texture three weeks after exosomes, and the "exosomes difference" in redness right after microneedling.

Like PRP, but better. Here is what exosomes are, where they come from, and how we use them with microneedling for your skin and your scalp.
Exosomes are nutrient-rich particles derived from human stem cells. They contain a potent mix of proteins, lipids, amino acids, and growth factors. Furthermore, they are quickly outpacing treatments like PRP microneedling and vampire facials. Our office now exclusively uses exosomes over other therapies due to their lower risk and clinically-proven effectiveness. Below, and in the FAQs further down, are answers to the most commonly asked questions about exosomes to help you on your aesthetics journey.
Our exosomes arrive frozen in small vials for the utmost freshness and potency. After defrosting, the exosomes are a gel-like consistency, which makes them ideal for topical application. Our exosomes are used within minutes of defrosting to ensure the highest levels of biogenesis.
Exosomes are derived from donated placenta cells in sterile, medical-grade labs. They are screened for all potential disease and blood-borne pathogens before isolation and shipping. These placenta cells are considered the "gold standard" in cell health and restorative properties, as growth factors extracted from the human body (including those from plasma) lose potency as we age.
Microneedling with exosomes is exactly what it sounds like! Your provider applies fresh exosomes to your skin directly after microneedling. (Exosomes pair excellently with RF microneedling and laser treatments as well.) This reduces post-procedure redness, expedites healing, and, best of all, promotes collagen production and increased skin elasticity. Scalp microneedling with exosomes has also been shown to promote hair growth more than microneedling alone.

Exosomes for hair loss, also called exosomes microneedling for hair loss, is a fantastic option for hair restoration. Your provider applies numbing gel to the scalp, microneedles the target area, then instantly applies topical exosomes. The channels created by the microneedling allow the nutrient-rich exosomes to penetrate deeply and promote hair growth.

This is a question we get a lot these days. The answer is simple: PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, uses your own blood platelets, so it is limited by the health and age of the client. This means that a healthy 20-year-old will receive a more beneficial PRP treatment than someone twice their age. Exosomes, by contrast, guarantee the most potent and beneficial cells every single time, as they are derived from healthy, quality-controlled stem cells. They're lab-derived, contain a much higher concentration of growth factors, are more potent and more consistent, and don't require a blood draw. Clinical studies show exosomes deliver superior results with less variability. (We use exosomes and do not offer PRP.) For more details, we have an entire blog post dedicated to the topic of exosomes vs. PRP.
Yes! Exosomes are an extremely safe add-on to aesthetic treatments. Additionally, they entail less risk than traditional PRP treatments. This is because PRP requires an in-office blood draw, and such procedures always carry some risk of infection or cross-contamination. By comparison, our exosomes are tested in a lab to ensure the utmost quality. We use pharmaceutical-grade, ethically sourced exosomes that undergo rigorous testing and quality control. They're non-immunogenic, meaning your body won't reject them, and they have an excellent safety profile.
Not at all! If anything, the application of exosomes directly post-treatment calms the skin and reduces irritation. The "immediately after microneedling" photo above illustrates the "exosomes difference."
There are no known side effects to topical exosomes therapy. However, in theory, exosomes taken from unhealthy cells could promote a negative outcome. This is why selecting a reputable provider who uses lab-tested exosomes is always recommended.
Exosomes are incredibly versatile. They're used for acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture issues, hyperpigmentation, hair loss, and overall skin rejuvenation. They're particularly effective for difficult-to-treat concerns like deep acne scars.
Most patients see significant improvement with 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your specific concerns and goals. Some patients continue with maintenance treatments every 6-12 months.
Initial improvements appear within 2-4 weeks as cellular regeneration begins. Results continue to develop over 3-6 months as collagen remodeling occurs. The effects are long-lasting, typically 6-12 months or more.
Absolutely! Exosomes are most commonly combined with microneedling, but they also enhance results from RF microneedling, laser treatments, and chemical peels. We'll create a customized treatment plan for your goals.
