EXOSOMES
Overview
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that play a key role in communication between cells, transporting proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and other bioactive molecules.
Exosome therapy is gaining a lot of attention in aesthetics. It uses tiny particles, about 30 to 150 nm in size, called exosomes.
These exosomes carry growth factors, peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids and vitamins that support the skin’s own renewal processes.

Prior To Treatment
To maximise the efficacy of your exosome treatment, try to minimise sun exposure for at least 2 weeks and refrain from using active ingredients like Retinol or Glycolic Acid in the days leading up to your appointment. Also restrain from having alcohol, tobacco products, and processed foods with a high sugar and salt content before your treatment.
Treatment
The exosomes are prepared in a serum/gel-like formulation and applied to the skin/hair follicles through microchanneling,
mesotherapy, or microneedling. Each exosome therapy session takes about 50 minutes.
After Treatment
There is zero downtime, meaning you can resume your daily activities without any interruption. However, you can expect to be red/pink after the procedure for up to 2 days.
During this time, try to avoid sun exposure, strenuous activities, anti-inflammatory medication and skin treatments (other than sunscreen).
What To Expect
You can start noticing improvements in your skin after around 2 weeks, with the full effects appearing at about 6 to 8 weeks post-treatment. It is advisable to schedule a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months for optimal results, and you can expect your results to last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
Current applications of exosome therapy in aesthetics include facial rejuvenation, scalp treatments and supporting skin recovery after procedures such as laser treatments and chemical peels. Exosomes are used to help improve skin texture, tone and the appearance of scarring. Results vary from person to person.
