Exosomes are one of the most talked-about developments in aesthetics, and also one of the most over-hyped. This guide separates what is genuinely understood from what is still emerging, so you can weigh the treatment sensibly.
We treat exosomes as a treatment category rather than a single branded product, and use them only where clinically appropriate, following assessment.
What exosomes are
Exosomes are tiny vesicles naturally released by cells. They carry signalling molecules that help cells communicate, including messages involved in repair and recovery. In aesthetics, exosome preparations are used to support the skin's or scalp's own recovery processes.
How they are used
Exosomes are most often applied alongside a treatment that gives them access to the skin, such as microneedling, or as part of hair restoration alongside PRP. On their own they are not a stand-alone fix; they are used to support the recovery that another treatment sets in motion.
What the evidence says
Exosome therapy is an area of active research. Early findings are promising for supporting skin and scalp recovery, but the evidence base is still developing and results vary between individuals. We think it is important to be honest about that rather than overstate what is known, which is why exosomes are only recommended where they genuinely add value to a plan.
Where exosomes fit
At Regener8, exosome therapy sits within the Skin Regeneration Programme for skin, and the Hair Restoration Programme for hair. Both are personalised and supported by homecare and review.
