Exosome Therapy
01

About This Treatment

Exosome products are marketed for skin and hair uses, but they are not FDA-approved for these uses in the United States. Evidence is limited, product source and composition can vary, and quality-control concerns are important. Marketing language should not substitute for reliable clinical evidence or a clear explanation of what a product contains.

This option may be discussed only after informed review of the product source, manufacturing information, known uncertainties, potential risks, and alternatives. It should not displace evaluation of a medical cause of hair loss or a concerning skin condition. A person can reasonably decide against an option when evidence, regulation, or product information is insufficient.
