Exosome Therapy
Exosome treatment is one of the most exciting treatments in the medical and aesthetic world today.
Exosome therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that can be used to improve the appearance and condition of the skin – helping dormant or inactive cells to become involved in tissue regeneration again.
The effects of exosome therapy can be staggering, so why not see how it can help you?
What are exosomes?
Exosomes are nanoparticles released by nearly all cells in the human body, and skin cells have their very own kind of exosomes. They contain various lipids, proteins, amino acids, peptides, growth factors, and genetic material.
Often confused with stem cells, exosomes work by improving cell-to-cell communication and transmit skin rejuvenation signals between cells – prompting the body’s natural healing process.
Exosome therapy is ideal for those with ageing skin, as during this stage in our life, skin cells start to atrophy, and the body produces fewer exosomes — similar to how we experience a decrease in collagen production. This can then lead to:
- • Sagging
- • Fine lines
- • Wrinkles
- • Change of skin texture
- • Decreased skin elasticity
- • Increased scarring
Applying exosomes topically to the skin during exosome therapy allows new exosomes to swoop in to help wake up inactive skin cells and older exosomes so they can get back to work to repair, strengthen, and rejuvenate skin.
In the process, cell proliferation is promoted, there is an increase skin collagen and elastin production, wound healing improves, and there is a decrease in pigment production.
As a result, skin becomes plumper, firmer, brighter, and smoother, offering a more youthful appearance.
How does exosome therapy work?
Exosome therapy starts with harvesting exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells, which are then concentrated and integrated into a serum or gel.
Then, after treatments like microneedling or Morpheus 8 are carried out – which have their own benefits for skin youthfulness – this serum or gel is applied to the skin.
The topical application of exosomes is used as a treatment to promote healing and rejuvenation in various parts of the body including the face and scalp, where it can target cells and hair follicles and promote hair growth for lost or thinning hair.
You’ll be able to see improvements in the skin from exosome treatments within two to six weeks and improved results can last for around 8-10 months – making it excellent value for money.
What can exosome therapy help me?
The use of mesenchymal stem cells as part of exosome therapy can be extremely beneficial for overall skin rejuvenation because they help to:
- • Increase skin collagen and elastin production
- • Create a more youthful appearance by decreasing lines and wrinkles
- • Reduce the appearance of stretch marks and abnormal scars
- • Minimise inflammation
- • Improve tissue regeneration, to aid skin hydration, firmness, and elasticity
- • Speed up the healing process
- • Improving conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea
- • Promote hair growth factors that are dormant and the likelihood of hair loss
- • Give results that last longer than Botox
As exosome therapy doesn’t impact the skin barrier or overall health of the skin, it can be repeated as often as you get your laser and microneedling treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the mesenchymal stem cells for exosome therapy come from?
Unlike stem cells, which have limited efficacy in facilitating new tissue growth, exosome therapy doesn’t involve using donor cells in your body. Instead, exosomes are extracted from donated human mesenchymal stem cells (sometimes referred to as MSCs) and are then sterilised – making them safe for use in other people.
Compared to adult stem cells, exosome therapy contains nearly three times the amount of growth factors – which vastly increases their effectiveness for skin rejuvenation and hair growth.
If you have any further questions, please contact our team to find out more.
Is exosome therapy safe for everyone?
Exosome therapy is innovative and exciting, it is perfectly safe and has been used in medicine and cosmetic procedures for a number of years.
However, there are a few things to be aware of before you come in for skin rejuvenation using mesenchymal stem cells, including:
- • It isn’t suitable for pregnant, breastfeeding individuals, or those undergoing IVF
- • There can be side effects in the form of mild reactions, including redness, swelling, and discomfort, and allergic reactions.
To minimise these risks, we will carry out thorough pre-treatment assessments – so they can be sure you are an appropriate candidate and aren’t likely to experience any unwanted side effects.
If you’re worried, just be sure to mention any concerns to your qualified and experienced practitioner during your assessment if you are worried.
How can exosome therapy affect hair growth?
Using stem-cell-derived exosomes for hair follicles and scalp improvement is another possible application for exosome treatments.
It is successful in much the same way that it works to target cells in the skin, by effectively encouraging cell-to-cell communication within hair follicles and repairing damaged tissues to promote hair growth.
The biggest difference is in the application, which includes using topical mesenchymal stem cells on the scalp instead of on the face. However, if you would like to use exosome therapy for facial rejuvenation and hair growth, just let us know, as we can do both in one longer session!
To start today, why not call us to book a hair loss appointment? We offer exosome treatment at any of our Upminster, Rayleigh, or Maldon clinics.
Can you achieve the same results as exosome therapy without using a cosmetic procedure?
To put it most simply, lifestyle changes, such as eating well, protecting your skin from the sun, staying active, and drinking plenty of water will help you to look younger for longer. However, you can’t undo the effects of ageing as you can with exosome therapy.
Mesenchymal stem cells used in cosmetic procedures have been scientifically proven to be much more effective and long-lasting than Botox, and include only the body’s natural components, which some prefer.
