TLDR Exosomes could help with skin and hair, but more research and better methods are needed.
Exosomes have shown promising effects on skin rejuvenation and hair growth in early preclinical studies using in vitro and murine models. However, only one clinical study has been published, and no FDA-approved exosome products are currently available. Challenges such as variations in purification techniques, and issues with isolation, storage, scalability, and reproducibility hinder the clinical application of exosomes in aesthetics.
