Exosomes
Improve skin texture and tone Reduce inflammation Boost collagen production Support scalp health
Exosome microneedling is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that combines the precision of microneedling with the targeted biological activity of exosomes—nanoparticles naturally released by cells that originally gained attention in cancer research. The dual approach of these two treatments is used in both skin and scalp treatments to support overall appearance and vitality.
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles—tiny, lipid-based carriers secreted by cells, that act as messengers between them. They contain molecular signals such as growth factors, proteins, and RNA, which influence how other cells behave. In aesthetic medicine, exosomes are typically derived from ethically sourced human stem cells or platelets and processed to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and stimulate new cell activity.
Exosome Microneedling
for Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, which activates the skin’s natural renewal processes and allows active compounds to be absorbed more effectively. The topical application of exosomes after microneedling is designed to work in harmony with the skin’s natural responses for improved cosmetic outcomes.
Potential benefits may include:
Supporting collagen and elastin activity
Improving the look of skin texture and fine lines
Assisting with the appearance of post-acne marks and mild pigmentation
Helping skin feel calmer, smoother, and more resilient
This treatment is suitable for most skin types and can be performed on the face, neck, or décolletage.
Exosome Microneedling
for Hair Restoration
Applied to the scalp, exosomes can support the environment around hair follicles by encouraging growth-phase signalling and reducing local inflammation—factors that are especially relevant in androgenetic hair thinning.
Benefits may include:
Prolonged anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle
Improved density and thickness of existing hair
Support for overall scalp health and follicular activity
Can be used as a standalone or alongside other therapies
This approach is non-hormonal and may suit individuals seeking natural or non-invasive options.

The Science Behind the Treatment
Exosomes are tiny vesicles (30–150 nanometres) released by cells to transfer signals that influence regeneration and repair. In aesthetic treatments, they’re typically derived from mesenchymal stem cells and applied to the skin or scalp to support tissue renewal. Rather than being stem cells themselves, exosomes act as biological messengers, delivering proteins, RNA, and growth factors to target cells.
Studies show that exosomes can:
Stimulate collagen production by activating fibroblasts
Reduce inflammation by modulating cytokine activity
Support blood vessel formation and wound healing
When delivered through microneedling, exosomes are better absorbed and work in tandem with the skin’s natural repair processes. On the scalp, studies indicate they work by creating a healthier environment for hair follicles, encouraging growth and improving overall scalp condition.
While most published research comes from lab and early-stage clinical studies, the biological mechanisms are well understood, and the therapeutic potential of exosomes is supported by a growing body of evidence.
