Exosomes are generally safe for treatment, but there are some common concerns to consider. One concern is the possibility for the body to reject exosomes, but since exosomes are not cells, they can be extracted from various sources and used for treatment. Another concern is the health and safety of the sourced material, but this shouldn't be a worry with autologous exosome treatments, since they are derived from your own blood. The primary question about exosome safety pertains to the patient's health, so the treatment is not offered to patients with certain medical conditions, including: - Platelet dysfunction syndrome - Critical thrombocytopenia - Hemodynamic instability - Septicemia - Cancer, especially haematopoietic or bone - HGB <10 g/dl, platelet count <105/ul

How long does exosome therapy last?

Exosome skin therapy enhances the look, suppleness, and strength of the skin. It is also used to treat other unusual scars, stretch marks, and acne. The effects typically become apparent after a few therapies and last for up to a year after therapy is finished. However, the course of treatment typically lasts 8 to 10 months.

What is the post-treatment protocol?

It is advised to avoid wearing makeup or touching the treated parts for six hours. After a day, you can put on makeup and moisturiser.

How many sessions are required?

Dependent on clinical assessment. Skin may require 1-2 sessions; hair usually 1 session with possible repeats every 3-6 months.

How much does autologous exosomes treatment cost?

Autologous exosome (stem cell transplant) costs vary depending on the specific treatment and individual needs. Prices for procedures such as skin or hair rejuvenation typically start at around £1,500. Your doctor will give you a detailed cost estimate during your consultation, considering your specific needs and overall treatment plan.

What possible advantages come with an autologous stem cell transplant?

Due to their regenerative qualities, autologous exosomes may help with tissue regeneration and repair. They may also be beneficial for conditions including autoimmune illnesses and tissue injuries, since they can help regulate the immune response and reduce inflammation.

What are the risks associated with autologous exosome transplants?

While autologous exosome transplant is considered relatively safe, potential risks may include injection site reactions, allergic responses, or infection in the area of administration. As exosomes can modulate the immune system, there is also a theoretical risk of immune system dysregulation, although this risk is not well-established.

Advantages of Autologous Exosomes Treatment

Natural and Immune-Compatible

The exosomes are derived from your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or immune rejection.

Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation

Boosts collagen production, hydrates skin and reduces inflammation for a youthful look.

Effective Hair Restoration

Stimulates hair follicles and improves scalp health to encourage new hair growth and thicker hair.

Minimal Downtime

Experience only mild bruising or swelling, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.

What are Autologous Exosomes?

Autologous exosomes are vesicles derived from a patient's own tissues or cells. They are used to support skin repair, hydration, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. In hair care, they may promote healthy scalp function and support hair follicle health. Autologous exosome therapy for hair or skin is considered a medical treatment for regenerative purposes, and parallels the principle of an autologous stem cell transplant - personalised, immune-compatible treatment derived entirely from your own body.

How Does the Procedure Work with Autologous Exosomes?

Autologous exosomes are isolated from your own blood cells. We take 60ml of your blood - a relatively painless procedure, similar to blood being taken from a vein for a blood test. We request that you eat food 1-2 hours prior to having the treatment and be well-hydrated with water, and avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to the treatment. Plan to be in the clinic for 60-90 minutes.

You can be a bit bruised and swollen for between 1 to 7 days after the face treatment, but not for the hair treatment. The skin of the face and neck, or the scalp, is numbed for 20-30 minutes while the exosomes are being prepared. The skin is cleansed, and multiple fine, painless injections are performed using an invisible needle to inject the exosomes into the dermis of the skin or the scalp.
