At E&G Skin Clinic Edinburgh, we are always at the forefront of advanced skin treatments, and Exosome Therapy is one of the most exciting innovations in regenerative aesthetics. If you’ve been searching for a way to revive tired, damaged, or aging skin without fillers or invasive procedures, exosomes might just be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
So, what exactly are exosomes, and how can they benefit your skin? Let’s break it down.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic messengers naturally produced by our cells. Think of them as tiny packages of active ingredients — like growth factors, peptides, amino acids, and genetic material — that travel between cells, delivering instructions to repair, regenerate, and restore.
In aesthetic medicine, exosomes are derived from stem cells (usually ethically sourced from human mesenchymal stem cells) and used to stimulate deep tissue regeneration. When applied to the skin, they can kickstart the skin’s healing mechanisms, improving tone, texture, and overall radiance.
What Are the Benefits of Exosome Therapy?
The results from exosome treatments are truly impressive. Some of the key benefits include:
Stimulates Collagen and Elastin Production
Exosomes work at a cellular level to support the building blocks of firm, youthful skin.
Improves Skin Tone and Texture
Whether you’re battling dullness, rough texture, or enlarged pores, exosomes can help smooth and brighten your complexion.
Reduces Redness and Inflammation
Ideal for clients with sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
Speeds Up Healing After Procedures
Perfect as a post-treatment boost following microneedling, laser, or chemical peels.
Target Signs of Aging
Fine lines, sagging, and thinning skin all benefit from the regenerative power of exosomes.
How Is Exosome Therapy Performed?
E&G Skin Clinic offers Exosome Therapy as a standalone facial treatment or combined with procedures like microneedling for enhanced absorption and results.
Here’s what to expect:
Consultation
We’ll assess your skin and determine if exosomes are right for you.
Treatment
After cleansing and preparing the skin, the exosome serum is gently applied, often in conjunction with microneedling or fractional laser to allow deeper penetration. The process is comfortable and minimally invasive.
Aftercare
There’s little to no downtime. Some clients notice a visible glow within days, while full results build gradually over several weeks.
Each session takes 45 to 60 minutes, and clients typically experience brighter, firmer, and healthier-looking skin within a short period.
How Often Should You Have Exosome Treatments?
For best results, we recommend a course of 2 to 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 3 to 6 months, depending on your skin goals.
