Are exosome treatments FDA-approved?

P Written by: Phil Kim Medically reviewed by: Dr. Robert Aki, DPM Last medically reviewed: October 9, 2026

No. The FDA states there are currently no approved exosome products for any therapeutic use, and it has warned patients about unapproved stem cell and exosome products for years. At Aloha Stem Cell, the treatments we discuss are autologous, which means the material comes from your own body: cells from bone marrow or fat tissue, and platelets from your own blood, processed in the clinic for same-day use.

The short answer

No. The FDA states there are currently no approved exosome products for any therapeutic use, and it has warned patients about unapproved stem cell and exosome products for years. If a product is being marketed as an FDA-approved exosome therapy, that claim does not match the regulatory record.

What Aloha Stem Cell actually uses

At Aloha Stem Cell, the treatments we discuss are autologous, which means the material comes from your own body: cells from bone marrow or fat tissue, and platelets from your own blood, processed in the clinic for same-day use. There is no donor-derived or manufactured exosome product in the picture, and we are transparent about what we do and do not offer.

Why this matters for your decision

Regulatory honesty is part of clinical honesty. When a field is crowded with unapproved products and exaggerated claims, the safest question a patient can ask is simple: what exactly would be injected, where did it come from, and what does the evidence actually show for my condition? Our team answers all three directly.
