PRP versus Exosomes

1. How Does PRP Compare with Exosomes?

   PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Exosomes are both regenerative treatments derived from your own blood, designed to stimulate healing and rejuvenation — but they work in slightly different ways.
   PRP contains concentrated platelets that release growth factors when activated, helping to stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and hair follicle activity. It relies on your body’s own platelets to kickstart regeneration, making it highly effective for promoting healing and improving skin tone and texture
   .
   Exosomes, on the other hand, are microscopic messengers naturally released by platelets and other cells. They carry powerful growth signals, proteins, and genetic material that communicate with your cells to accelerate regeneration at a deeper, cellular level. Because exosomes act as advanced communicators between cells, they are thought to deliver more potent cell regeneration effects compared to PRP alone.

   In summary, PRP focuses on growth factor release, while exosomes enhance and extend the regenerative message, resulting in more refined, longer-lasting results for hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and scar repair.

2. How is the autologous exosomes therapy performed?

   How Is Autologous Exosome Therapy Performed?
   At Lumiere Clinic, our autologous exosome therapy is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that uses your own blood to stimulate natural healing and rejuvenation. The treatment begins with a small blood draw, similar to what you might experience during a routine blood test. The sample is then processed using a specialised system to isolate exosomes and growth factors from your platelets — these are the powerful cellular messengers responsible for tissue repair and regeneration.
   Once prepared, the concentrated exosome serum is gently applied or injected / micro-needled into the treatment area — whether it’s the scalp for hair restoration, the face for skin rejuvenation, or the body for improving scars and stretch marks. The exosomes immediately start communicating with surrounding cells, stimulating collagen production, enhancing cell renewal, and improving overall skin and hair vitality.
   The entire process usually takes about 30 minutes, requires little to no downtime, and delivers natural results by harnessing your body’s own regenerative power.

3. What is the treatment regimen?

   We generally recommend once a month regimen for 3-6 sessions. We tend to see some results after 3 sessions. A maintenance session is recommended every 6 months.

4. Are the Effects of Exosomes Long-Lasting?

   Yes — the effects of autologous exosome therapy are generally long-lasting because the treatment works by stimulating your body’s own natural regeneration processes rather than providing a temporary cosmetic effect. Exosomes encourage new collagen formation, improve cellular communication, and enhance tissue repair over time.

   Most clients begin to notice visible improvements within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over several months as new collagen and healthier cells develop. The longevity of results varies depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, lifestyle, and the treatment area, but many patients experience benefits lasting 6–12 months or longer.

   Due to our natural process of ageing and environmental/lifestyle factors, our practitioners tend to recommend a series of treatments followed by maintenance sessions twice a year. This helps to keep the skin, scalp, or treated area in its most rejuvenated state.
