ABOUT
Exosomes are one of the most advanced regenerative technologies in aesthetic medicine, designed to support skin repair, renewal and rejuvenation at a cellular level. Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles that act as powerful messengers between cells, delivering growth factors, proteins, peptides and genetic signals that encourage healing and regeneration.
Exosomes work by stimulating skin cell communication, enhancing collagen and elastin production, improving inflammation, and accelerating recovery following skin treatments. They are commonly used as an add-on after procedures such as CO2 laser, microneedling, RF microneedling, and resurfacing treatments to significantly boost results and minimise downtime.
By activating the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, exosomes help improve skin quality, texture, tone, elasticity and overall skin health, creating a smoother, brighter and more youthful complexion.
Key treatment areas are:
Face, Neck, Décolletage, Scars, Acne Scars, Under Eyes, Pigmentation-prone areas, Post-laser recovery.
Downtime 24 - 72 hours (depending on treatment performed)
Pain ●○○○○
Treatment Time 30 - 60 minutes
HOW IT WORKS
Exosomes are naturally occurring cellular messengers that play a vital role in tissue repair and regeneration. They contain bioactive molecules including growth factors, proteins and signalling compounds that help instruct skin cells to repair, regenerate and function more effectively.
When applied after skin resurfacing procedures, exosomes penetrate the skin and accelerate the repair response by:
-
Reducing inflammation
-
Supporting collagen and elastin stimulation
-
Enhancing cellular turnover
-
Improving skin barrier recovery
-
Promoting tissue healing and regeneration
This makes exosomes an ideal treatment for clients seeking stronger results, improved skin quality and enhanced recovery following advanced skin treatments.

RESULTS
Results will vary depending on the treatment combination and your skin condition. Many clients notice improved glow, hydration and skin calmness within the first 7–10 days.
For best outcomes, exosomes are often recommended as part of a skin rejuvenation series, especially when combined with treatments such as CO2 laser, RF microneedling, microneedling, or resurfacing.
Longevity of results depends on age, skin type, lifestyle and overall skin health. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 3–6 months.

-
Avoiding excessive sun exposure before treatment
Advise your clinician if you:
-
Are taking blood thinners
-
Have an autoimmune condition
-
Have a history of cold sores
-
Have had recent dental work
-
Have a long-haul flight booked within the next two weeks
WHO IS NOT SUITABLE

-
Want improved skin texture and pore refinement
-
Have acne scarring or uneven skin tone
-
Have inflammation-prone or sensitive skin

-
Want advanced regenerative skin rejuvenation without fillers
-
Want brighter, smoother and healthier skin overall
If you are unsure, contact our clinic.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Prior to your treatment, our Registered Nurse will consult with you to assess your suitability for the Exosome treatment and discuss your skin goals, concerns and treatment plan.
Exosomes are typically applied topically immediately after procedures such as microneedling or laser, allowing the skin to absorb the regenerative factors through the microchannels created during treatment. In some cases, exosomes may also be used in combination with other skin rejuvenation protocols as recommended by your clinician.
You may experience:
-
Redness in the treated area, usually resolved within 24–72 hours
-
Mild swelling, depending on the procedure performed
-
Warmth or tightness in the skin, typically improving within 24–48 hours
-
Dryness or flaking as the skin renews, lasting several days
-
Mild bruising (if combined with microneedling or injectable treatments), usually resolving within 7–10 days
POST TREATMENT CARE
-
Keep the skin clean and avoid touching the area unnecessarily
-
Avoid applying makeup for 24 hours (or as advised depending on treatment)
-
Avoid excessive heat, saunas and intense exercise for 24 hours
-
Avoid active skincare (retinol, AHA, vitamin C) for 5–7 days
-
Use gentle skincare and moisturiser as recommended by your clinician
-
Apply SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure
-
Do not pick or peel flaking skin
-
Avoid facial treatments, massage, or exfoliation until fully healed
FOLLOW UP AND NEXT STEPS
For optimal skin rejuvenation, exosomes are commonly added to a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your treatment plan. Many clients choose to incorporate exosomes into their CO2 laser or microneedling sessions for enhanced healing and superior skin quality.
Your health and well-being is our priority. If you are concerned about any aspect of your treatment, or if you become unwell, contact our clinic immediately.
