How we approach it
The same device can be run very differently.
Injecting exosome-type ingredients is restricted by relevant regulations such as the Medical Service Act, and there is also concern that injection could trigger excessive allergic reactions.
So rather than injecting, we aid the skin's absorption of the ingredients with plasma and ultrasound. This is a choice made to reduce the risk of adverse reactions while keeping the purpose of the care.
It is often planned together with lifting or pigmentation treatment, and the combination and order are decided based on skin condition.

Frequently asked questions
What is Revive Exosome?

Are exosomes injected?
No, Grays Dermatology does not inject exosomes. The ingredients are applied to the skin, and plasma and ultrasound are used to help them penetrate. It is care that does not use needles.
Why plasma and ultrasound rather than injection?
Injecting exosome-type ingredients is restricted under the relevant regulations, and there is concern that injection could cause excessive allergic reactions. So we aid absorption with plasma and ultrasound, reducing the risk of adverse reactions while keeping the purpose of the care. The application method is advised at your visit based on skin condition.
What effects can I expect from exosome care?
We describe it as supporting skin condition care and do not promise any specific effect. Research evidence for the skin effects of exosomes is still limited, and how it feels varies widely by individual. If you have a particular goal, let us know at consultation and we will advise together whether a more suitable approach exists.
Who is it suited to?
We consider it for those who want care for dry or dull skin condition, or who find injections a burden. We also discuss it for those planning skin care together with lifting or pigmentation treatment. If sagging or pigmentation itself is the main concern, we recommend prioritizing that treatment.
Does it hurt? How long does it take?
It is a needle-free approach, and the sensation felt during device use varies by individual. The time required depends on care coverage and is advised at your visit. If you feel discomfort, please tell us right away during care.
Can I wear makeup or return to daily life right after care?
You can usually go about daily life, but temporary redness or warmth may occur. On the day of care, do not rub your skin, and use gentle cleansing and ample moisturizing. When you can apply makeup is advised at your visit based on your skin's response.
How many sessions do I need, and how often?
The number and interval of sessions are decided after consultation, considering skin condition and any treatments received alongside. Rather than recommending a set number, we adjust the plan while observing your skin's response. The timing of the next session is decided together based on progress.
Can I have it together with lifting or pigmentation treatment?
It is often planned together with lifting or pigmentation treatment. Whether to do them on the same day, and the order and interval, are decided after consultation based on skin condition and the type of treatment. If you have had any treatments recently, please let us know at your visit.
Are there cases where I should not have exosome care?
