Exosome Therapy
Help Your Skin Recover and Renew
Exosomes are tiny particles that cells release to communicate with one another. They carry proteins, fats, and genetic material from one cell to the next, a bit like sealed messages. In aesthetic care, exosome products are applied to the skin, most often right after micro-needling or a laser treatment, to support the skin while it recovers.
How Exosomes Work
Micro-needling creates tiny channels in the skin, which starts a natural healing response. Applying an exosome serum at that point lets those messages reach deeper than a cream normally would. The signals they carry are thought to support collagen production and calm inflammation. The research is promising but still early, and many studies can’t fully separate the effect of the exosomes from the effect of the treatment they’re paired with. We’d rather tell you that up front.
Key Benefits of Exosomes
- Supports recovery: May help calm redness and support your skin as it heals after micro-needling or laser.
- Builds on treatments you already love: Exosomes are added to your treatment rather than replacing it.
- No blood draw: Unlike PRP, nothing is taken from your body, so there's no extra step at your appointment.
Is Exosome Therapy Right for You?
Exosomes may suit patients who are already planning micro-needling or a laser treatment and want extra support during recovery.
We’ll recommend waiting or choosing another option if you have an active skin infection, open wounds or an acne flare in the treatment area, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are allergic to any ingredient in the product.
What to Expect
Because exosomes are applied during another treatment, your recovery mostly follows that treatment. After micro-needling, expect some redness for the first day or two as your skin settles. Your provider will walk you through aftercare for your specific treatment.
No exosome product is FDA-approved. We apply exosomes to the skin only, and we’ll walk you through what’s known and what isn’t before your treatment.
Exosomes or PRP and PDGF+?
PRP uses growth factors from your own blood and has the longest track record of the three. PDGF+ offers a ready-made growth factor formula with no blood draw. Exosomes are the newest option and are best thought of as recovery support alongside micro-needling or laser. At your consultation, we’ll help you weigh all three.
