Frequently asked questions

 

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring messenger particles found in every cell of the body. In skin health, they act like couriers, carrying instructions between cells to regulate repair, renewal and regeneration.

 

In aesthetic treatments, exosomes derived from stem cells (not live cells themselves) are applied topically after procedures like microneedling or laser, where they can penetrate into the skin and deliver signals to help reduce inflammation, promote collagen synthesis and encourage healthy, balanced skin function.

​

They are completely cell-free, safe and clinically backed, offering a smart, science-led approach to improving skin quality, texture and resilience over time.​​

​

What can exosome treatment help with?

Exosomes are incredibly versatile and can be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and early wrinkles

• Skin laxity and uneven texture

• Dull, tired-looking skin

• Redness and sensitivity

• Scarring, pigmentation and inflammation

• Ageing or stressed skin needing post-procedure recovery

 

They’re especially beneficial for mature skin, where healing and regeneration have slowed down, helping restore vitality, clarity and structure without the need for injectables or aggressive resurfacing.

​

How does treatment work?

Exosomes are applied during microneedling treatments, when the skin is more permeable and able to absorb the serum effectively. This combination allows the exosomes to travel deeper into the skin, where they can stimulate repair and collagen production at a much deeper level.

 

In some cases, they may also be used as a standalone treatment in a targeted skin plan. The process is simple, gentle and relaxing.  There’s no discomfort and no downtime required from the exosomes themselves.

​

Each treatment is carried out in a private, professional setting in Old Harlow, Essex, with a focus on comfort and care. Your skin is thoroughly assessed beforehand to ensure this is the right option for you.

​

What makes exosomes unique?

Exosome therapy is part of a new generation of regenerative aesthetic treatments that work with your body’s natural systems to restore skin health, rather than relying on volume or external structure.

​

What sets it apart is its ability to:

• Speed up post-treatment healing

• Deeply calm inflammation and redness

• Strengthen skin function from the inside out

• Enhance the long-term results of microneedling, laser or other regenerative procedures

• Deliver clinically measurable improvements in collagen and skin density over time

​

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions will depend on how exosomes are being used as part of a post-treatment recovery protocol or as a standalone series.

For general skin rejuvenation, a course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended. For procedure support (such as during microneedling), even a single application can dramatically improve healing and enhance results. You’ll receive a personalised treatment plan based on your skin condition, goals and overall needs.​

​

Are exosomes safe?

Yes. The exosomes used in treatment are sterile and plant-based. A full consultation ensures the treatment is appropriate for your skin.

​

When will I see results?

Some people notice a brighter, more even skin tone within days. Improvements in firmness, texture and inflammation tend to build over several weeks, particularly when exosomes are used as part of a treatment plan.

​

Is there downtime?

There’s no downtime from the exosomes themselves. If combined with microneedling or other treatments, you may experience mild redness or sensitivity for 24-48 hours, which the exosomes can help reduce significantly.

​

Can I use exosomes with other treatments?

Absolutely. Exosomes are most effective when used alongside treatments that stimulate the skin’s renewal process, such as microneedling and even Sofwave. They support healing, reduce irritation and help you get more from each session.
