What Is Exosome Treatment?

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles involved in cell-to-cell communication. In aesthetic practice, the terms “exosome treatment” and “exosome therapy” are commonly used for topical products containing exosomes, extracellular vesicles or related signalling components.

At rtwskin, the selected serum is applied topically after microneedling or another eligible skin procedure. The exosome serum itself is not injected.

The preceding procedure remains an important part of the overall treatment and may be responsible for a significant proportion of the visible improvement. Exosome treatment should therefore be viewed as an additional step within a personalised skin-treatment protocol rather than a standalone regenerative treatment.

Are Exosomes Injected at rtwskin?

No. The exosome product used as part of this treatment is applied topically after an eligible skin procedure.

Microneedling or another selected procedure may create controlled treatment channels or prepare the skin before the product is applied. The exosome serum itself is not delivered as an injection.

This should not be confused with injectable treatments such as dermal fillers, polynucleotides, skin boosters or PRP.

Exosome therapy offers

What May Exosome Treatment Support?

When used after an eligible skin procedure, an exosome serum may be considered as an additional step to support recovery and gradual improvement in overall skin quality.
Depending on the base procedure, product and individual skin condition, patients may notice changes in:
hydration;
skin radiance;
uneven or rough texture;
the appearance of fine lines;
enlarged-looking pores;
selected textural acne scarring;
general skin resilience following treatment.
The expected improvement depends on the underlying concern and the procedure used. Results vary and cannot be attributed solely to the exosome serum.

Potential Benefits of Adding an Exosome Serum

Adding a clinically selected exosome serum after an eligible treatment may help support:

post-procedure skin recovery;
skin hydration;
a smoother-looking texture;
improved radiance;
the appearance of fine lines;
skin resilience;
the appearance of selected acne scars;
the overall outcome of a personalised skin-rejuvenation plan.

Exosome treatment should not be described as “zero downtime”. Recovery depends primarily on whether the serum is used with microneedling, RF microneedling, CO₂ laser or another procedure.

what it doesn't do Exosome

What Exosome Treatment Is Not Designed to Do

Exosome treatment is not designed to:

replace lost facial volume;
reshape facial features;
correct advanced skin laxity;
cure acne, rosacea, eczema or psoriasis;
permanently remove pigmentation;
replace prescription dermatological treatment;
replace surgery;
guarantee faster healing or a specific result.

Some concerns that appear to relate to skin quality may instead be caused by pigmentation, active inflammation, volume loss or another underlying condition. In these cases, a different treatment or medical assessment may be more appropriate.

Which Areas May Be Considered for Treatment?

Face

Exosome serum may be applied following an eligible facial procedure, depending on the product selected and individual suitability.
Neck

Selected treatment protocols may include the neck where microneedling or another appropriate procedure is being used.
Décolletage

The décolletage may be considered where an appropriate resurfacing or microneedling treatment forms part of the treatment plan.
Selected Areas of Textural Scarring

An exosome serum may be added following a procedure intended to address selected textural acne scars.

The treatment area and base procedure are selected following consultation. Exosome serum should not be used as a substitute for medical assessment of active inflammatory skin conditions.

Which Exosome Product Does rtwskin Use?

Product information	Product Details
Product	Purasomes SGC100+ / Purasomes NC150+
Manufacturer	Dermoaroma Italy
Product source	Exosomes (extracellular vesicles) derived from organic bovine colostrum (cow colostrum).
Application	Topical application only
Used with	Microneedling, RF microneedling or CO₂ laser resurfacing, where clinically appropriate
Allergy considerations	Cow’s milk protein allergy, Bovine-derived product allergy, Hyaluronic acid hypersensitivity (rare), Peptide or excipient allergy, Vitamin B complex and C

How Is Exosome Treatment Used?

Exosome serum is applied to the treatment area after an eligible procedure has been completed.
The full treatment normally involves two separate components:
1. The base procedure
CO2 Laser Resurfacing, Microneedling, RF microneedling or another selected procedure is used to address the main skin concern.
These treatments have their own mechanism, recovery period and expected results.

2. Topical exosome application

The selected serum is applied to the treated skin according to the product and procedure protocol.

It is intended to support the post-procedure environment and may contribute to recovery and gradual skin-quality improvement.

Because the product is used alongside another procedure, it may not be possible to determine how much of the final result is attributable to the exosome serum alone.

Results vary, and current clinical research does not support describing the treatment as guaranteed, universally suitable or completely risk-free.

Treatment Process

What Happens During Exosome Treatment?

1. Consultation
Your skin, treatment history and medical suitability are reviewed before a procedure is recommended.
2. Treatment Planning
Your practitioner explains the base procedure, exosome product, expected recovery, limitations and total cost.
3. Base Procedure
Microneedling or another selected skin procedure is performed according to your treatment plan.
4. Exosome Application
The selected serum is applied topically to the treated skin. The serum itself is not injected.
5. Aftercare
You receive aftercare instructions appropriate to the procedure and product used.
6. Review
Further sessions or review may be recommended depending on the procedure and your skin response.

How Many Treatments Might I Need?

The number of sessions depends mainly on the procedure being performed, the treatment area and your individual skin response.
Some patients may have exosome serum added to a single resurfacing procedure, while others may receive it during a course of microneedling or RF microneedling.
Your recommended course and treatment spacing will be confirmed during consultation.

Post-Treatment Expectations

Aftercare Following Exosome Treatment

Aftercare depends on the procedure used alongside the exosome serum. Follow the individual instructions provided by your practitioner.
General advice may include:
avoid touching or rubbing the treated area unnecessarily;
do not apply unapproved skincare immediately after treatment;
avoid make-up for the period recommended by your practitioner;
avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, saunas and excessive heat;
protect the skin from direct sun exposure;
use the cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen recommended by the clinic;
avoid exfoliating acids, retinoids and other active products until advised;
do not pick peeling or flaking skin;
contact the clinic if redness, swelling, pain or irritation becomes worse rather than gradually settling

When Might I Notice Results?

Results develop gradually and depend on the procedure used alongside the exosome serum.

Once initial redness or sensitivity has settled, some patients may notice changes in hydration, radiance or skin texture.

Changes associated with collagen remodelling following microneedling, RF microneedling or laser treatment usually develop progressively over the following weeks and months.

The timeline depends on:

the base procedure;
treatment intensity;
treatment area;
product used;
skin condition;
number of sessions;
age and lifestyle;
individual healing response.

Results cannot be guaranteed, and not every visible change can be attributed specifically to the exosome product.

Exosome Treatment vs Microneedling Alone

Microneedling alone	Microneedling with exosome serum
Uses controlled needling to support skin renewal and collagen remodelling	Uses the same microneedling procedure followed by topical exosome application
Does not include an additional exosome-based product	Includes the cost and use of a selected topical serum
Results are linked to the microneedling procedure	Results reflect the combined protocol
May be sufficient for some patients	May be considered where an enhanced post-procedure protocol is appropriate
Has its own risks and downtime	Has the same procedural risks plus product-specific considerations

Adding an exosome serum does not automatically make microneedling more appropriate or more effective for every patient.

Your practitioner should explain why the additional product is being recommended and whether the potential benefit justifies the additional cost.

Exosome Treatment or PRP?

Exosome treatment and PRP are different approaches and should not be presented as interchangeable or as universally superior to one another.

Exosome treatment	PRP
Uses a manufactured topical product	Uses a preparation derived from the patient’s own blood
Product source and composition depend on the manufacturer	Composition varies according to the patient and preparation method
Applied topically as part of the rtwskin protocol	May be applied or injected according to the treatment protocol
Does not require a blood draw	Requires a blood draw
Evidence and product standardisation remain developing	Has a longer history of use in aesthetic and regenerative procedures
Selection depends on product, procedure and concern	Selection depends on the concern and medical suitability

Current research does not justify stating that exosomes always provide a stronger or more predictable result than PRP.

The most appropriate option depends on the treatment area, concern, product used and individual medical assessment.

Effects

Suitability and Possible Side Effects

Exosome treatment is not appropriate for every patient or every skin condition.

Temporary reactions may be related to the base procedure, the topical serum or both and can include:

redness;
sensitivity;
mild swelling;
dryness or flaking;
bruising following needling;
temporary irritation.

Your practitioner will review your medical history, medication, allergies, previous reactions and the condition of your skin before treatment.

Treatment may need to be postponed or another approach considered where there is active skin infection, active inflammatory skin disease, significant irritation, a medical condition affecting healing or another contraindication to the proposed procedure.

Suitability during pregnancy or breastfeeding, together with any product-specific allergy restrictions, will be assessed in line with current manufacturer information and rtwskin clinical protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as an exosome facial?

“Exosome facial” is sometimes used informally for aesthetic treatments involving topical exosome-based products. At rtwskin, the treatment is described according to the actual procedure being performed, such as microneedling with topical exosome serum.

What is the recovery time?

Recovery depends mainly on the base procedure. Microneedling may involve temporary redness and sensitivity, while RF microneedling or more intensive resurfacing procedures can involve a longer recovery period.

How many treatments might I need?

The number and spacing of sessions depend on the procedure, treatment area, skin condition and individual response. Your recommended course will be explained during consultation.

How much does exosome treatment cost?

Exosome treatment at rtwskin starts from £250. The total cost depends on the procedure selected and treatment plan and will be confirmed before treatment.

Is exosome treatment available in Tunbridge Wells?

Yes. Exosome skin consultations and treatments are available at rtwskin, Cobden House Medical Centre, 25 London Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1 1DA.

Do I need a consultation first?

Yes. Your consultation is used to assess your skin, review medical suitability, select the appropriate procedure and explain the product, expected recovery and total cost.

What is exosome treatment?

Exosome treatment at rtwskin involves applying a selected topical serum after microneedling or another eligible skin procedure.

The serum is intended to support the post-procedure environment and may contribute to skin recovery, hydration, texture and radiance.

The exact result depends on the product, procedure and individual response.

Are exosomes injected at rtwskin?

No. The exosome serum used as part of this treatment is applied topically after the selected procedure.

The product itself is not injected.

This statement must be confirmed against every exosome protocol currently offered by rtwskin before publication.

What exosome product does rtwskin use?

At rtwskin, we use Purasomes SGC100+ and Purasomes NC150+ by Dermoaroma Italy. These products contain bovine-colostrum-derived extracellular vesicles together with product-specific ingredients.

The selected product is applied topically after microneedling or another eligible skin procedure and is not injected. The most appropriate product and procedure will be discussed following an individual skin assessment.

Is exosome treatment the same as microneedling?

No.

Microneedling is the procedure used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. An exosome serum may then be applied as an additional topical step.

Some patients may be suitable for microneedling alone, while others may discuss an enhanced protocol that includes an exosome product.

Is exosome treatment better than microneedling alone?

Not necessarily.

There is emerging research into exosome-based products, but results vary and products are not standardised.

Your practitioner should explain whether adding the product offers a reasonable potential benefit for your concern and whether it justifies the additional cost.

Can exosomes treat acne scarring?

An exosome serum may be added to a microneedling, RF microneedling or resurfacing procedure for selected textural acne scars.

The main improvement is also influenced by the base procedure used. Exosome treatment should not be described as a standalone cure for acne scarring.

Is there downtime?

Downtime depends mainly on the base procedure.

Microneedling may cause temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness or mild swelling. RF microneedling and CO₂ laser may involve a longer or more visible recovery period.

Your expected recovery will be explained before treatment.

How many sessions will I need?

The treatment course depends on the base procedure, treatment area, skin concern and response.

Some patients may receive an exosome serum after a single procedure. Others may have it included in a course of microneedling or RF microneedling.

When will I see results?

Some patients may notice changes in hydration or radiance after the initial recovery period.

Changes associated with collagen remodelling from microneedling or resurfacing procedures develop more gradually over the following weeks or months.

Results vary and cannot be guaranteed.

How long do the results last?

There is no single duration that applies to every patient.

Longevity depends on the procedure, course completed, skin condition, product used, lifestyle, skincare and individual response.

Are exosomes safe?

No aesthetic procedure or topical biological product should be described as completely risk-free.

Safety depends on the source, manufacture, handling and intended use of the product, as well as the suitability and correct performance of the base procedure.

The exact product and relevant risks should be explained during consultation.

What side effects are possible?

Possible temporary effects may include:

redness;
swelling;
sensitivity;
dryness;
flaking;
bruising from a needling procedure;
product irritation;
an unexpected skin reaction.

The complete risk profile depends on the base procedure and product used.

Can exosome treatment be combined with other procedures?

The exosome serum is already used as an additional step following an eligible procedure. Hi lol

Other treatments may form part of a wider skin plan, but timing should be clinically planned to avoid unnecessary irritation or overlapping recovery.

How much does exosome treatment cost?

Exosome treatment at rtwskin starts from £250

The total cost depends on the procedure selected, treatment area, product used and recommended number of sessions.

The full price will be confirmed before treatment.

Is Exosome treatment available in Tunbridge Wells?

Yes.

Exosome skin consultations and treatments are available at rtwskin, Cobden House Medical Centre, 25 London Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1 1DA.

Do I need a consultation first?

Yes.

The consultation is used to:

assess the concern;
review medical suitability;
select the base procedure;
explain the exosome product;
discuss evidence and limitations;
review downtime and aftercare;
confirm the treatment course;
confirm the total price.

Is exosome treatment better than PRP?

Neither treatment is automatically better.

PRP uses a preparation made from the patient’s own blood. Exosome treatment uses a manufactured topical product whose source and composition depend on the brand.

The appropriate option depends on the concern, product, treatment area and medical suitability.

What is exosome therapy and how does it work?

Exosome therapy is an advanced regenerative skin treatment that uses stem cell-derived nanoparticles to boost cell repair, collagen production, and overall skin rejuvenation. When applied after microneedling, exosomes penetrate deeper, accelerating healing and enhancing results like improved texture, firmness, and radiance.

What skin concerns can exosomes help with?

Exosome therapy can improve:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Dull or uneven skin tone
Acne scars and enlarged pores
Redness and inflammation
Skin laxity and early signs of ageing

It’s suitable for most skin types and particularly helpful for those seeking non-invasive rejuvenation.

Is exosome treatment better than PRP?

Both treatments stimulate skin regeneration, but exosomes offer higher concentration and consistency of growth factors compared to PRP. They don’t rely on your own blood, making them ideal for clients looking for a stronger, more predictable outcome with less variability.

Is there any downtime after exosome microneedling?

Minimal. You may experience mild redness for 24–48 hours, similar to standard microneedling. However, exosomes speed up recovery, so any visible signs fade faster than with microneedling alone.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients benefit from a course of 3–4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. Results improve with each session, and ongoing maintenance helps preserve long-term skin quality.

Are exosomes safe?

Yes, the exosomes used at rtwskin clinic are derived from purified stem cells in controlled lab conditions. They’re cell-free, sterile, and biologically stable, making them safe and well-tolerated for aesthetic use.

When will I start seeing results?

You may notice an improvement in glow and hydration within the first week. More visible results-like firmer, smoother, and more even skin-develop gradually over 2–6 weeks and continue to improve with each session.

Can I combine exosomes with other treatments?

Absolutely. Exosomes work exceptionally well when combined with microneedling, but can also enhance results from laser resurfacing, RF treatments, and skin boosters. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best combination based on your skin goals.
