Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and RNA. Early dermatology studies suggest potential benefits for photoaging and recovery when used alongside microneedling, however regulators emphasize that many exosome products remain unapproved, and quality varies. For the big picture on how we plan rejuvenation, start with our pillar, Anti-Aging and Skin Rejuvenation in Dubai. For delivery routes we often compare, see PRP for face in Dubai. As the U.S. Food & Drug Administration notes, there are currently no FDA-approved exosome products, so we set expectations conservatively. For treatment details or booking, review our service pages: Exosome Therapy in Dubai, Microneedling with skinpen in Dubai, PRP Face, Hydrafacial in Dubai, and Chemical Peel in Dubai.
Key takeaways
- Best used as an adjuvant to microneedling, not a stand-alone cure, small split-face trials show modest improvements in elasticity, fine lines, and hydration when paired correctly. See PubMed and Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
- Regulatory reality: the U.S. Food & Drug Administration warns consumers about unapproved exosome products, and has issued recent warning letters to manufacturers.
- Standards and transparency: the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles publishes reporting standards, these help clinicians judge product quality and study claims.
What it is, how we use it
Biosome exosome therapy involves applying vesicle-rich topicals immediately after low-trauma procedures like microneedling or booking the service directly via Microneedling in Dubai, the goal is to support signaling and recovery without adding downtime. Small randomized split-face work has shown improvements in wrinkle depth and elasticity at 12 weeks when exosomes were paired with microneedling, results are promising yet modest. See PubMed.
Evidence snapshot, what is known and what is not
Reviews summarizing cosmetic uses of exosomes describe incremental gains in wrinkles, elasticity, and hydration, most trials are small, short, and adjunctive. For an accessible overview, see NIH/PMC. Comparative durability against established options like PRP is unclear, recent systematic reviews support PRP across texture and pigmentation endpoints, see NIH/PMC.
Regulatory reality and sourcing
There are no FDA-approved exosome products for cosmetic use, the agency has issued a public safety notification and consumer alerts, and continues to publish warning letters to firms marketing unapproved biologics. Read the advisories at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and see recent warning letters to manufacturers such as U.S. Food & Drug Administration and U.S. Food & Drug Administration. We align our messaging with standards from the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles, which publishes guidance on characterization and reporting. These standards help patients understand why product source and quality matter.
Who is a good fit, who should wait
Good fit: adults seeking incremental quality gains in texture and tone, willing to combine with microneedling, comfortable with early-stage evidence and conservative goals.
Wait or avoid: pregnancy, active infection, cancer under treatment, recent strong photosensitizers, keloid risk in the area, or expectations that do not match what an adjuvant can deliver. We often redirect to PRP for face or to device-based options when you need stronger data or more predictable outcomes. Reviews of PRP in aesthetics can be found at NIH/PMC.
How a session works in our Dubai clinic
- Consult and photography, we take a full medical history, set expectations, and plan your series inside the Skin Rejuvenation blog.
- Procedure, we perform microneedling with conservative settings, then apply a measured dose of Biosome exosomes over the treated field. The split-face study design many clinics reference used three sessions at three-week intervals, see Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
- Aftercare, sun avoidance, gentle cleansing, and barrier support. We delay exfoliants and active retinoids until the skin settles.
Expected course, timelines, and results
Most plans use 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart with microneedling. If you respond, improvements are typically subtle at first, then cumulative across the series. Long-term durability compared with PRP or energy devices remains uncertain. See reviews at NIH/PMC.
Safety, transparency, and consent
We do not market drug-like claims, we disclose sourcing and storage, and we use batch documentation. If problems occur, regulators invite reports, learn more at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
Alternatives and combinations we may recommend
- Microneedling or the service page Microneedling in Dubai, reliable collagen remodeling over a series, predictable downtime.
- PRP for face or the service page PRP Face, autologous, broader evidence base in aesthetics, frequently combined with microneedling. See overviews at NIH/PMC.
- Hydrafacial in Dubai, hydration-first when downtime must be minimal.
- Chemical Peel in Dubai, controlled resurfacing to brighten tone and improve texture.
- VFR Facial Contouring, RF-based tightening for laxity and contour refinement.
