Exosome therapy for skin
in Rajkot

Exosome therapy applies exosomes, tiny messenger particles derived from cells, to the skin, usually straight after microneedling or a laser so they reach deeper layers. They are used to support repair, calm inflammation and improve glow and texture. It is a newer treatment with growing but still limited evidence, so we use it as part of a wider plan.

What exosome therapy is

Cells talk to each other by releasing exosomes: tiny particles, around a thousand times smaller than the width of a hair, that carry proteins and genetic signals from one cell to another. In the skin, these signals help control inflammation, healing, collagen production and pigment.

Exosome products for skin contain purified exosomes, without any living cells. On their own, applied to intact skin, they barely get past the surface. That is why they are applied straight after a procedure that opens tiny channels in the skin, such as microneedling, a fractional laser or laser toning, so they can reach the layers where they work.

  1. Dermis cells

    Open tiny channels

    Microneedling or a gentle laser makes thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin, which close within hours.

  2. Dermis cells

    Apply exosomes

    The exosome solution is applied straight away, so the particles can travel through the channels into deeper skin.

  3. Dermis cells

    Cells get the message

    Exosomes carry proteins and genetic signals that can calm inflammation and support repair, collagen and a more even tone.

Illustration, not to scale; exosomes are far too small to see. Evidence for exosomes in skincare is promising but still early, which is why we use them alongside proven treatments rather than instead of them.

At OrnaSkin, exosomes are offered on their own as a course and as laser toning with exosomes for pigmentation and glow (what is sometimes sold elsewhere as an “exosome facial”). For exosome sessions, the skin is prepared with gentle microneedling before the exosomes are applied. We use exosome products from established manufacturers, and the product used is recorded in your file.

What it can help with

  • Dull, tired or stressed skin, for a calmer, more even glow.
  • Pigmentation and melasma, alongside laser toning and a pigmentation plan.
  • Recovery after laser or microneedling, which may settle faster.
  • Acne marks and texture: exosome treatment for acne scars is an add-on to acne scar treatment, not a stand-alone fix.
  • Thinning hair, as part of hair fall treatment.

An honest word on the evidence

Exosomes are one of the newest tools in skincare. Laboratory research is extensive, and early clinical studies, such as a split-face trial in acne scars, suggest that adding exosomes after laser can reduce redness and improve results. But the studies are still small, products vary between manufacturers, and long-term data are limited. No exosome product is approved as a medicine for injection, and we don’t use them that way.

So we treat exosomes as a supporting treatment: added to proven treatments where they are likely to help, not sold as a cure on their own.

What results to expect

A typical exosome course
  1. Same day

    Mild redness from the microneedling or laser, settling within hours to a day.

  2. First weeks

    Skin often looks calmer and more radiant.

  3. Through the course

    Tone and texture improve gradually alongside the main treatment.

  4. Maintenance

    Occasional sessions, with daily sunscreen, help keep the result.

Results are gradual and vary with your skin, the main treatment it is combined with and how well the skin is protected from the sun.

Who it suits

Adults who want better skin quality and glow, people with pigmentation or acne marks who are already having laser toning or scar treatment, and people who want to recover faster after procedures. It suits all skin tones.

It is avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding (there are no safety data), on active infection, cold sores or eczema in the area, and in people with active cancer. Tell us about your medicines, any recent treatments on your face and allergies.

Before, during and after

Before

The dermatologist checks your skin and decides whether exosomes add value to your plan. Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids and waxing on the area for a few days before, and come without make-up if you can.

During

The skin is cleansed and, if needed, a numbing cream applied. Microneedling or the laser is done first, and the exosome solution is applied and worked into the skin straight afterwards. A soothing mask or serum may finish the session.

After

  • Expect redness and warmth for a few hours, sometimes until the next day.
  • Don’t wash the face or apply make-up for the time advised, usually several hours.
  • Use a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen; avoid acids, retinoids, saunas and heavy exercise for a couple of days.

Risks and how we minimise them

Exosomes applied after a skin procedure have caused few side effects in studies: mainly redness, mild swelling and dryness, mostly from the microneedling or laser itself. Rarely, irritation or an allergic-type reaction can occur, and, as with any procedure that opens the skin, infection is possible.

We reduce these risks with sterile technique and single-use needles, products from reputable manufacturers, careful laser and microneedling settings for Indian skin, and clear aftercare.

Questions about exosome therapy for skin

What exactly are exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny bubbles, far smaller than a cell, that cells release to send messages to each other. They carry proteins, fats and fragments of genetic material. Exosome products for skin are made from cells grown in a laboratory, or from plants, and are purified so they contain the messengers but no living cells.

Are exosomes the same as stem cell treatment?

No. Some exosome products are made from stem cells grown in a laboratory, but exosomes themselves contain no cells and cannot grow into tissue. They act more like a set of instructions that encourage your own skin cells to repair.

Is exosome therapy safe?

Exosomes applied to the skin after microneedling or laser have a good safety record in the studies so far, with mild redness the most common effect. Long-term data are still limited. We use them on the skin surface after a controlled procedure, not as injections into the body, and we choose products from reputable manufacturers.

What results can I expect?

Most people notice calmer, more even, glowing skin over the course, and faster settling after laser or microneedling. For pigmentation, acne marks and texture, exosomes support the main treatment rather than replace it. Results vary from person to person, and we will be honest about what to expect for your skin.

How many sessions will I need?

A course is usually six sessions a few weeks apart, then occasional maintenance. When exosomes are added to laser toning for pigmentation, they follow the toning schedule.

Is there any downtime?

Very little. After microneedling or laser you may have redness for a few hours to a day. Most people go back to their routine the same or next day, with sunscreen.

Can exosomes help hair fall too?

Yes, exosomes are also used on the scalp for thinning hair, as part of our hair fall treatment, often with mesotherapy. That is planned after finding the cause of the hair fall.

How much does exosome therapy cost in Rajkot?

At OrnaSkin, exosome treatment typically costs about ₹9,500⁠–⁠12,500 a session, or about ₹15,000⁠–⁠21,500 when combined with laser toning. Six-session packages cost less per session. Your exact plan is set at the consultation.
