Are Exosomes Safe?

When looking into having new aesthetic treatments it’s natural to be nervous.

As an increasingly popular treatment there has been a lot of press around both the benefits and risks of being treated with Exosomes. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles which play a key role in cell communication. These tiny vesicles can be used to promote skin rejuvenation, hair restoration and tissue repair. The treatments are relatively new and have gained attention for the potential to improve regeneration without the need for invasive procedures.

What are Exosomes?

Most cells in the body naturally release tiny particles called exosomes. These microscopic messengers act like delivery vehicles, carrying proteins, growth factors, and other signals that help cells communicate, stimulate tissue repair, and support healthy function.

For the skin, exosome treatment enhances your body’s natural healing and renewal processes. By sending targeted signals to skin cells, exosomes encourage increased collagen and elastin production—key proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful. They can also help calm inflammation linked to various skin concerns.

Researchers have proven that exosomes effectively treat hair thinning by stimulating hair follicles at a cellular level.

Are Exosomes safe?

Exosomes are safe when sourced and administered correctly. Exosomes are something which are naturally produced by the human body. When administer by trained medical professionals in a clinical environment side effects are usually very mild.

When choosing your exosomes it is important that you know the source and that they are from a reputable brand. At Health and Aesthetics we use Purasomes which are derived from cows’ colostrum which are applied topically after micro needling treatment. It is currently illegal in the UK to use human derived exosomes or to inject them.

Exosomes side effects

Exosomes treatments are minimally invasive and therefore side effects are very minimal. Patients can expect to go about their day as usual immediately after treatment. Potential side effects are linked with the micro needling which is used before the application of the solution containing the exosomes in order to create tiny microchannels in the skin. Side effects include mild redness, swelling and skin sensitivity. Rare side effects can include bruising and hyperpigmentation. These side effects can last up to 7 days.

How to minimise potential side effects of Exosomes

In order to minimise the side effects of Exosomes it is important to have the treatment at a regulated clinic who will complete a full consultation ahead of treatment. Prepping your skin with at-home skincare improves results and speeds up recovery time. You should stop using any products containing retinol 7 days before treatment and avoid treatment if taking any blood thinning medication.

Why choose Exosomes?

Utilising the power to stimulate skin cell renewal and calm inflammation, exosome therapy offers a versatile solution for many concerns. This cutting-edge treatment can help to:
