Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by cells that carry regenerative signals. In aesthetics, they are used to support skin and hair repair at a cellular level.

Are exosomes better than PRP?

They work differently. Some patients benefit from one or the other, or a combination. Dr. Maliha Dar will recommend the most suitable approach.

How many sessions are recommended?

Typically 2–4 sessions depending on goals. A personalised plan is created during consultation.

Are exosome treatments approved for aesthetic use in the UAE?

Regulatory status for exosome products varies by jurisdiction and continues to develop. Dr. Dar will explain the current position and the specific product used at consultation, so you can make an informed decision rather than assume approval.

How do exosomes differ from PRP?

PRP is prepared from your own blood on the day. Exosome products are manufactured preparations of signalling vesicles. PRP has a longer track record in aesthetic use; exosome therapy is newer, with an evidence base that is still developing.

Is the evidence for exosome therapy strong?

It is an emerging area rather than a settled one. There is laboratory and early clinical interest, but the aesthetic evidence base is less mature than for longer-established treatments. Anyone presenting it as proven is overstating the position.

How many sessions will I need?

Regenerative treatments work over a course rather than a single appointment. The number of sessions and the interval between them is agreed at consultation based on your skin and the concern being treated, and is confirmed before you commit to a plan.

When will I see a difference?

These treatments work by supporting the skin's own repair processes, so change is gradual rather than immediate. Most patients notice a difference in skin quality over the course rather than after the first session. Individual response varies.

Can I combine this with injectables?

Frequently yes — regenerative treatments address skin quality while injectables address volume and movement, so they target different things. Sequencing and spacing are planned at consultation so that each treatment settles properly.

What happens at the consultation?

Dr. Dar reviews your concerns, medical history and previous treatments, assesses your skin, and explains what a realistic course looks like. You receive written pricing for the full protocol before starting, not just for a single session.

Exosome therapy applies concentrated signalling vesicles to the skin, usually after microchannelling, to support repair and skin quality. It is an emerging regenerative treatment rather than an established standard, and the evidence base is still developing. Dr. Dar will explain honestly what is and is not currently known before you proceed.

Downtime: Similar to microneedling — redness for 1–3 days typically.
Results visible: Improvement in skin quality develops over 2–4 weeks, with continued enhancement over subsequent months.

Introduction

What is Exosome Therapy?

Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles that carry growth factors, proteins, and genetic signals between cells. In aesthetic medicine, exosome therapy is used to enhance skin repair, reduce inflammation, and support regeneration.

Exosome treatments are often combined with microneedling or other procedures to maximise absorption and results. They are increasingly chosen for skin brightening, hair restoration, and post-procedure healing.

Dr. Maliha Dar offers exosome therapy as part of advanced regenerative treatment protocols tailored to your skin and hair concerns.

Exosome Therapy is one of the aesthetic treatments in Dubai offered by Dr. Maliha Dar, and is often planned alongside other treatments as part of a single assessment.

What to Expect

Your Treatment Journey

From your first consultation with Dr. Maliha Dar through to aftercare — every step is planned for safety, comfort, and natural-looking results.

Step 1

Skin Assessment

Your skin or scalp condition is evaluated to determine if exosome therapy is appropriate.

Step 2

Preparation

Skin may be prepared with microneedling or a similar technique to optimise product penetration.

Step 3

Exosome Application

Exosome solution is applied to the treatment area, allowing active factors to reach targeted tissue.

Step 4

Aftercare

Post-treatment care and sun protection support optimal recovery and results.

Session Length

60 min

Results Timeline

Improvement in skin quality develops over 2–4 weeks, with continued enhancement over subsequent months.

What results can I realistically expect from Exosome Therapy?

Timeline

Improvement in skin quality develops over 2–4 weeks, with continued enhancement over subsequent months.

Downtime

Similar to microneedling — redness for 1–3 days typically.

What this treatment can do

Gradual improvement in skin quality — texture, hydration and how the skin reflects light
Change that accumulates across the course rather than appearing after one session
An improvement your close contacts may read as looking well rather than as having had treatment

What it will not do

These treatments work on skin quality, not volume or contour
They will not lift or tighten significantly lax skin
Response varies between individuals, and not everyone responds to the same degree

Individual results vary. No aesthetic treatment produces a guaranteed outcome, and anyone promising one should be treated with caution.

How much does Exosome Therapy cost in Dubai?

Regenerative treatments are priced per session and normally recommended as a course, so it is worth looking at the cost of the full protocol rather than a single appointment. The figures below are the clinic's current prices, confirmed in writing at consultation.

What affects the price

The number of sessions in the recommended course, since these treatments work over a protocol rather than a single visit
The specific product and concentration used
The size of the area treated
Whether the treatment is combined with another in the same appointment

You receive written pricing at consultation before any treatment goes ahead. The clinic does not quote a final price without assessing you first, because the amount of product and number of sessions genuinely differ between patients.

Safety

Suitability, aftercare and risks

Who is Exosome Therapy not suitable for?

Suitability is decided at consultation, not online. Exosome Therapy is generally not appropriate in the following situations:

Anyone who would prefer a treatment with a longer-established evidence base
Active inflammatory skin disease in the treatment area
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
An active skin infection, inflammation or cold sore in the treatment area
A known allergy to the product or any of its components
Certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders, depending on the individual case
Unrealistic expectations of what a non-surgical treatment can achieve

How to prepare

Arrive with clean skin and no makeup where possible
Where medically safe to do so, avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand
Discuss any blood-thinning medication or supplements with Dr. Dar before your appointment - never stop prescribed medication without advice from the doctor who prescribed it
Allow time for injection-point bumps to settle before any event

Aftercare

Stay upright for the first four hours and avoid pressing or massaging the area unless instructed
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and hot yoga for 24-48 hours
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
Use sun protection daily - important year-round in the UAE
Keep skincare simple for 24 hours - no acids, retinoids or exfoliants
Complete the full course of sessions, as results build across the protocol

Risks and side effects

Every medical treatment carries risk. These are discussed fully at consultation so you can give informed consent.
