In brief
Exosome therapy applies preparations of exosomes, tiny cell-derived vesicles that carry signalling molecules, to the skin or scalp. At Kaiteki it is usually used alongside another procedure such as microneedling, a laser or PRP, not on its own. The evidence base is still developing, so a doctor assesses whether it suits your plan.

What is exosome therapy?
Exosomes are tiny cell-derived vesicles that carry signalling molecules such as proteins, lipids and RNA. In the body they act as messengers between cells, and this signalling role is why they are being explored in regenerative aesthetics.
Why is exosome therapy applied after another procedure?
The aim of exosome therapy is to support the skin's or scalp's own repair and renewal processes by delivering exosome-based signalling molecules to the treated area. Because exosomes are small, they are commonly applied after a procedure that briefly opens channels in the skin, such as microneedling or certain lasers.
What Exosome Therapy is used for at Kaiteki
Skin recovery after energy-based acne treatment
A regenerative approach applied after energy-based treatment to support skin recovery.
The scalp, alongside medical hair-loss treatment
A regenerative preparation applied to the scalp to support the follicular environment, offered as an adjunct to medical management.
Wondering whether exosome therapy adds anything to your plan?
It is an adjunct, so whether it belongs in your plan depends on what it would accompany.

What a session involves
Consultation and assessment
Your first visit is a consultation, not a treatment. A doctor assesses your skin or scalp and decides whether exosome therapy is appropriate, and what it would be combined with.
The accompanying procedure
The session is built around the procedure exosome therapy accompanies: microneedling, a laser, or PRP (platelet-rich plasma).
Application
The exosome preparation is applied to the treated skin or scalp.
Afterwards
A short course spaced a few weeks apart is common.
In the treatment room
A doctor moves a handheld device over the patient's scalp as an assistant helps.
A handheld device is applied to the scalp during a session.
After a session
Downtime is set mostly by the procedure exosome therapy is combined with.
The first few days
When paired with microneedling or a laser, temporary redness, mild swelling or sensitivity can occur, and typically settles over the following days.
Gentle skincare and sun protection are usually advised afterwards.
Risks, side effects, and what Exosome Therapy cannot do
The doctor explains these, and those of the procedure it accompanies, before you decide.
Common and temporary
Redness, swelling, sensitivity or irritation at the treated area.Less common
The procedure it is combined with carries its own considerations.What it cannot do
- It is not a standalone acne treatment, only an adjunct after energy-based treatment.
- It is not a treatment for hair loss in its own right, and it is not a substitute for finding the cause.
- It is not established in the way the procedures it accompanies are. The evidence base is still developing.
Tell your doctor if you are or may be pregnant or breastfeeding.
What affects the number of sessions, and the cost
Kaiteki does not quote prices online: exosome therapy is priced as part of a combination, so the cost only exists once that is decided. What moves it:
- The concern being addressed.
- The area treated, skin or scalp.
- The number of sessions, and your individual response across the course.
Common questions
Is exosome therapy safe?
Common effects are temporary redness, swelling, sensitivity or irritation, and the accompanying procedure carries its own risks. The evidence base is still developing.
Who is a suitable candidate for exosome therapy?
People already planning microneedling, a laser or PRP for skin recovery or scalp concerns may be assessed for it.
When might I notice a change?
Any change develops gradually over the weeks after treatment, not immediately, and the extent varies between people.
Can exosome therapy treat hair loss on its own?
No. On the scalp it is used alongside medical hair-loss treatment, not as a treatment in its own right, and it is not a substitute for finding the cause of the hair loss.
