Treatment Overview
Exosome Therapy is one of the most cutting-edge regenerative treatments in Korea, designed to repair skin, stimulate collagen, and restore youthful glow at the cellular level. Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles released by stem cells, carrying growth factors, proteins, lipids, and genetic material that signal skin cells to regenerate and repair.
In Korean dermatology, exosomes are administered through injections, microneedling infusions, or post-laser applications. Many clinics combine exosome therapy with PRP, skin boosters (Rejuran, Aquashine), or energy-based treatments (RF, HIFU) to maximize skin rejuvenation and healing. Patients often describe it as the next step beyond PRP therapy, with faster healing and stronger anti-aging effects.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: Improves skin firmness and elasticity.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines and deep creases.
- Skin Repair: Heals acne scars, pigmentation, and sun damage.
- Hydration & Glow: Restores the radiant Korean “glass skin” look.
- Pore Refinement: Reduces enlarged pores and smooths texture.
- Post-Treatment Recovery: Accelerates healing after lasers or microneedling.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effect: Calms redness, sensitivity, and rosacea.
Ideal Candidates
Exosome Therapy in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 20s–70s seeking advanced anti-aging and skin repair.
- Patients with wrinkles, sagging, acne scars, or pigmentation.
- Individuals with sensitive or rosacea-prone skin needing calming effects.
- Men and women looking for biological, regenerative treatments.
- Patients combining treatments like PRP, microneedling, or Rejuran with exosomes.
Possible Risks & Complications
Exosome therapy is safe when performed with KFDA-approved products in Korea, but mild side effects may include:
- Redness or Sensitivity: Temporary, fades within 1–2 days.
- Swelling or Bruising: Especially if injections are used.
- Dryness or Flaking: As the skin regenerates.
- Rare Risks: Allergic reaction or infection (very rare in professional clinics).
Surgical Techniques Used
While non-surgical, Korean dermatologists apply exosomes using advanced protocols:
- Direct Injections: Micro-doses placed into the dermis or sub-dermis.
- Microneedling + Exosome Infusion: Allows deeper penetration for skin repair.
- Laser-Assisted Application: Exosomes applied after fractional lasers for fast healing.
- Exosome + PRP Fusion: Combines two regenerative therapies for synergy.
- Customized Blends: Exosomes mixed with HA, peptides, or vitamins.
- Multi-Session Protocol: 3–5 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, are common.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild redness or sensitivity.
- 1–3 Days: Skin calms; early glow noticeable.
- 2–4 Weeks: Wrinkles soften, pores refine, texture improves.
- 3–6 Months: Collagen remodeling delivers firmer, youthful skin.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
- Use SPF 50+ daily.
- Keep skin hydrated with gentle serums.
- Avoid sauna, alcohol, or strenuous activity for 1–2 days.
