What are exosomes?

Exosomes are not living stem cells. They are small cell-released vesicles carrying molecular material. A product label alone does not verify identity, purity or clinical performance.

What is being researched?

Early studies explore skin quality and hair loss, but products, sample sizes and follow-up differ. Findings do not establish equivalent effects across products or guaranteed rejuvenation.

How is suitability assessed?

Diagnosis, established options and expectations come first. Source, sterility, storage, authorisation and intended route must be verified. A topical cosmetic is not automatically suitable for injection.

Risks and limitations

Allergy, inflammation and infection depend on the product and route; long-term data remain limited. FDA sources address US regulation, while Turkish authorisation requires separate verification. This guide does not imply that every product is offered clinically.

Frequently asked questions

Are exosomes stem cells?

No. They are extracellular vesicles, not living cells.

Do they replace PRP?

Equivalence has not been established; composition and evidence differ.

When is a definite result seen?

There is no universal timeline or guaranteed outcome across products.
