Where Do Exosomes Come From?
Exosomes, or extracellular vesicles (EcVs), are taken from special cells called mesenchymal stem cells. These cells have remarkable healing powers and are known for their ability to repair and regenerate tissue. Unlike stem cells themselves, exosomes are purified to remove anything that might cause allergic reactions or inflammation. The have been cleared or blanked of any genetic material that would not be biocompatible with our own. Exosomes are like stem cells, upgraded. They are often tolerated much better.
Exosomes Over Stem Cells?
Exosomes offer some unique advantages over other types of treatments:
They don't carry the risks that come with using regular whole stem cells.
They don’t need to be harvested from your fat cells or bone marrow first.
They can't turn into harmful cells.
They don't trigger immune responses or inflammation, in fact they do the opposite.
They are “smart”, and can target specific areas in your body that need help.
The Benefits of Exosomal Therapy
The Possibilites Are Endless
Exosomes aren't just helpful in regenerating the body and restoring optimum functioning; they're also showing promise in treating a variety of health issues. They cross the blood brain barrier, so they can protect and repair your brain, making them especially beneficial in diseases like Alzheimer's. Researchers around the world are studying exosomes in over 77 clinical trials, and early results are positive, particularly in treating cancers, neurological conditions, and blood disorders.
Including anti-aging and longevity, healthy joing function, skin rejuvenation and so much more.

What Can You Expect?
Exosomes can be administered in different ways depending on your needs.
- Local injections: These are great for targeting specific areas like joints. You can come in and receive a quick shot to the area you’d like to receive benefit, for example your knees or low back.
- Cosmetic treatments: Exosomes can improve your skin and hair health when combined with specialized sessions that open the channels on the skin during Fotona laser therapy. When combined with skin resurfacing laser treatments, exosomes decrease downtime and maximize results.
- IV therapy: If you're looking for overall wellness support, IV exosome treatments might be the right choice for you. Receiving exosomes through the IV route is a very quick procedure called an “IV push.” One of our registered nurses will start an IV and infuse a very concentrated dose of exosomes over just a few minutes.
Currently, there are no FDA-approved exosome products in the USA. However, ongoing research and clinical trials show promising results across various health conditions, including COVID-19. We are using exosomes that have been approved as an IND, which stands for Investigational New Drug.
At BeWell Malibu we use exosomes from a single donor cell line that predates COVID-19. Our supplier has FDA clearance for using these exosomes in early-stage clinical trials. It's important to know that not all exosomes are the same, and we take great care to ensure that ours are of the highest quality.

What is Exosomal Therapy?
Exosomal therapy, also known as exosome therapy, is a form of regenerative medicine that uses exosomes to treat various medical conditions. Exosomes are tiny, membrane-bound vesicles secreted by cells, including mesenchymal stem cells. They act as cellular messengers, carrying proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids from one cell to another, facilitating intercellular communication. In exosome therapy, these exosomes are delivered into the body through an IV drip or an injection to the target site. Once they attach to the cells, they transfer their payload into the cells, providing raw materials (proteins) and instructions (mRNA, miRNA, signaling cytokines) that instruct and empower them to regenerate and repair.
What are the risks of Exosomal Therapy?
While exosome therapy is generally considered safe, there are potential risks associated with the treatment. These include:
- Injection site reaction
- Ineffective treatment due to insufficient exosome content
- Contamination of cells through improperly harvested exosomes – this can result in growths or abnormal cell development in the target site or other areas of the body
- Bacterial infection resulting from improper extraction methods or incomplete sterilization
It’s important to note that these risks are generally low, especially when the therapy is administered by a qualified healthcare provider.
How much does Exosomal Therapy cost?
The cost of exosome treatment can vary widely depending on the specific treatment and the healthcare provider. On average, exosome therapy can cost between $5,000 and $10,000. However, at our clinic, the costs are as follows:
- Topical cosmetic exosome add-on to Fotona delivery or laser treatment: $600
- Exosome injection: $900
- Exosome IV: $3000
