What it does
Photothermal biomodulation stimulates the release of platelet-derived exosomes, enriching the patient’s own PRP.
Bioactive PRP composition
The resulting preparation retains the naturally occurring components of PRP, including platelets and growth factors, alongside the released extracellular vesicles.
Autologous PRP enriched with platelet-derived exosomes
Platelet-derived exosomes remain within the patient’s own PRP, without requiring a separate exosome isolation step.
Clinical applications
The clinical potential of MCT Exosomes has been explored across different therapeutic areas, including aesthetic medicine, dermatology, musculoskeletal care and wound management.
The technology
Photothermal biomodulation
Blue light and controlled temperature (37 °C), applied to the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma inside the MCT Kit®.
Light · 467 nm
Blue-light photobiomodulation
Blue light at 467 nm is applied under predefined exposure conditions as part of the Exosomes preset, which has been characterized for its ability to promote platelet-derived exosome release.
Temperature · 37 °C
Controlled temperature
The Exosomes preset uses a controlled temperature of 37 °C, maintaining near-physiological thermal conditions during PRP conditioning.
Inside the platelet
What happens inside the platelet
A step-by-step overview of how photothermal conditioning promotes platelet-derived extracellular vesicle release.
01
Photothermal conditioning
Blue light (467 nm) and controlled temperature (37 °C) are applied to the patient’s PRP inside the MCT Kit®.
02
Platelet-derived exosome release
Photothermal conditioning promotes the release of exosomes from platelets.
The autologous approach
The patient’s own biology, at the point of care.
The Exosomes preset uses photothermal biomodulation to obtain autologous PRP enriched with platelet-derived exosomes and other extracellular vesicles.

Add-on for MCT Exosome protocols
Exo-Tech: Combining Plasma Gel and MCT Exosomes
Exo-Tech combines autologous plasma gel with PRP enriched with platelet-derived exosomes, creating an injectable autologous matrix.
The MCT System photothermally conditions the PRP, while the Exo-Tech Dry Bath prepares the plasma gel. Both components are obtained from the patient’s own blood.
