$350 for exosome therapy. You’re getting access to regenerative technology that won’t be mainstream in the West for years — at Korean prices.
The Korean philosophy
Exosome therapy represents the next frontier of Korean skincare innovation. Rather than applying ingredients to the skin surface, exosomes deliver regenerative signals at the cellular level. Korean dermatology has always been an early adopter of cutting-edge science, and exosomes are the latest example of Korea leading the aesthetic world by 3-5 years.
The ritual
Preparation
10 minSkin is thoroughly cleansed and a numbing cream may be applied if microneedling delivery is chosen. The skin surface must be completely clean for maximum exosome absorption.
Exosome delivery
20 minThe exosome solution is applied to the skin. If microneedling delivery is used, the exosomes are applied during and after the microneedling process, allowing them to penetrate through the micro-channels. Alternative delivery methods include iontophoresis or specialized skin infusion devices.
Absorption and activation
10 minAfter application, the exosomes are allowed to absorb into the skin. This quiet period is when the exosomes find their target cells and begin delivering their regenerative cargo.
Calming + finish
15 minA soothing mask calms any irritation from the delivery method. LED red therapy supports the regenerative process. A gentle moisturizer and mineral SPF finish the treatment.
Your first time
Exosome therapy feels similar to a microneedling session if that delivery method is used. A numbing cream is applied first, so you’ll feel pressure and mild prickling but minimal pain. The exosome solution itself is clear and odorless. If topical-only delivery is used, the experience is completely painless. Your skin may look pink for 24-48 hours afterward (similar to microneedling recovery). The real results develop over the following weeks as the exosomes stimulate cellular regeneration. Most patients notice improved skin texture and glow after 2-3 sessions.
When to book
Allow 3-5 days of recovery before events if microneedling delivery is used. Plan for 3-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for full results. This is not a one-and-done treatment — the series approach delivers the best outcomes.

Not recommended for
East vs West
Exosome therapy is more advanced than PRP — it delivers targeted regenerative signals without requiring a blood draw. Korean clinics have been offering exosome treatments for several years, while most Western clinics are still in the PRP era. When exosome treatments do reach Western markets, they’re priced at 2-3x the Korean rate.
Aftercare
Avoid retinol, AHA/BHA, and harsh exfoliants for 48-72 hours. Keep skincare simple and hydrating. SPF is essential. Avoid sun exposure for 3-5 days. The regenerative process continues for 2-4 weeks after each session — support it with gentle, hydrating products.
