Exosomes
A regenerative skin treatment at our Weybridge clinic that calms, repairs and renews stressed, scarred or tired-looking skin.
Exosomes are tiny vesicles that cells use to send messages to one another. The plant-derived exosomes we use are rich in growth factors, peptides and antioxidants. Applied straight after microneedling, they travel through the micro-channels into the skin, calming inflammation, supporting repair and helping your skin make new collagen.

Your consultation
Every treatment at our Weybridge clinic starts with a consultation. We take a full medical history, look closely at your skin and talk honestly about what you would like to achieve, so we only recommend treatment that is safe and right for you. All treatments are carried out by our advanced nurse practitioner and independent prescriber.
The treatment
We treat the face, neck and décolletage at our clinic in Weybridge, Surrey. After numbing cream has been applied, we carry out microneedling to create tiny channels in the skin. The exosome serum is then applied over the treated area, so it absorbs through those channels while they are still open. We recommend a course of 3 sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart, followed by a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months. Exosomes can also be added to an existing course of microneedling.
Applied to the skin, not injected
We use plant-derived exosomes, and they are applied to the surface of your skin after microneedling. They are not injected. In the UK, injectable exosomes are treated as unlicensed medicines and are not approved for cosmetic use, so no reputable clinic should be offering them by injection. We only use products intended for topical cosmetic use.
Aftercare
Your skin will look flushed, rather like mild sunburn, and may feel tight or dry for a day or two. Avoid make-up for 24 hours, and active skincare such as retinol and acids for 5 to 7 days. Wear SPF 50 every day. Read our full aftercare advice.
Your results
Most clients find their skin settles quickly and looks brighter and calmer within a few days. Because the treatment works by stimulating your own collagen, firmness and texture continue to improve over 6 to 12 weeks, and build further with each session in your course.
Is it right for me?
Exosomes suit most skin types and tones, and are a good option if your skin is sensitive, scarred or slow to recover. They are not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection, cold sore or acne flare in the area, or a known allergy to any ingredient in the product. We will check your suitability at your consultation.
