What exactly are exosomes?

Exosomes are small particles, also known as vesicles, produced by our cells. They play a crucial role in communication between cells and contain valuable information in the form of proteins, lipids, RNA, and other molecules.

Originally, exosomes were seen as waste products of cells, but in recent years their role in medicine and skincare has been increasingly understood. They are now recognized as powerful tools for regeneration and repair; they contain molecules that promote communication between cells and can even stimulate the regeneration process.

The actual interest of the skincare industry in exosomes began when scientists discovered that these particles play a crucial role in the repair and rejuvenation of cells. In the medical world, exosomes were already used for their healing properties, such as promoting tissue repair after injuries. Later, it became clear that they could have a similar effect on the skin.

What do exosomes do for the skin?

Exosomes can be very effective for the skin because they naturally occur in the body and serve as a means to stimulate cells for repair and renewal. They contain important growth factors and molecules that help the skin to heal itself, produce collagen and elastin, and reduce inflammation. This process is essential for restoring the skin after damage, reducing fine lines, evening out skin tone, and improving overall skin structure.


When exosomes are introduced into the skin through treatments such as microneedling or mesotherapy, they penetrate the skin cells and release signals that accelerate the healing and regeneration process. This means that they not only contribute to rejuvenating the skin but also help improve skin issues such as acne scars, pigmentation spots, rosacea, and uneven texture. Additionally, they also help speed up and enhance the recovery and effects of cosmetic treatments.

How does a treatment with exosomes work?

A treatment with exosomes can take place through various techniques, but the most common method is through (RF) microneedling. In this treatment, ultra-fine needles are used to create small channels in the skin. These channels allow the exosomes to penetrate deeper into the skin, where they can do their regenerating work. By delivering the exosomes in this way, the skin can recover faster from damage and new cells are generated. The exosomes enhance the natural processes of the skin, such as the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, smooth skin.

Why choose a treatment with exosomes?

The power of exosomes lies in their ability to restore and renew the skin in a profound way. Because exosomes are a natural product of the body, they are well tolerated and can perform their work efficiently without the risks often associated with foreign substances.
In addition, they can enhance and accelerate the results of other treatments, such as laser therapy or chemical peels, by promoting the recovery process.

Is a treatment with exosomes suitable for everyone?

Exosomes are suitable for almost all skin types and can be used for various skin issues, from signs of aging to scars and imperfections. Because exosomes provide a natural form of skin rejuvenation, they are a popular choice for people looking for a subtle yet effective improvement of their skin without invasive procedures or long recovery times.
Another advantage of exosomes is that they can be well combined with other treatments, such as microneedling and laser treatments. They can enhance the effectiveness of these treatments and help with a faster and more beautiful recovery time.

How long does it take before you see results?

After a treatment with exosomes, you will quickly see the first signs of improvement. Immediately after the treatment, your skin may be slightly red and sensitive, but this reaction usually disappears within a few hours. However, the actual regeneration takes place in the weeks following the treatment, when the skin begins to renew and collagen and elastin production is stimulated.

The results of exosome treatments are usually noticeable within 4 to 6 weeks, and the effects can last up to three months. For long-lasting and optimally visible results, it is often recommended to repeat the treatment multiple times, depending on your specific skin needs.
