Repeat Exosome Treatments: Why Patients Come Back

7 hours ago

Exosomes are signaling particles, not stem cells.
Exosomes are tiny vesicles that carry proteins, mRNA, and microRNA to help cells communicate and potentially support tissue repair and regeneration.
Patients pursue repeat treatments for multiple reasons.
Common motivations include maintaining recovery gains, treating new injuries, addressing additional chronic problems, and pursuing anti-aging or wellness goals.
Clinical enthusiasm exists despite limited scientific proof.
While many patients report improvements in pain, recovery, and function, Dr. Park acknowledges placebo effects, recall bias, and the lack of large-scale clinical evidence supporting exosome therapy.
