Exosomes
What are Exosome Treatments at Inner Glow Aesthetics?
At Inner Glow Aesthetics, our Exosome treatments represent a revolutionary approach to cellular rejuvenation. Exosomes are naturally occurring, nanoscale messengers derived from stem cells. They are packed with growth factors, proteins, and signalling molecules that instruct your own skin cells to repair, regenerate, and revitalise themselves. We typically deliver these powerful biologics into the skin using advanced techniques such as SkinPen® Microneedling, which creates optimal micro-channels for deep absorption and maximum cellular communication, or via specialised injection methods.
Treatment Duration & Frequency at Our Clinic: Your Exosome treatment session is a deeply rejuvenating experience. When combined with microneedling, the entire process takes approximately 60-75 minutes. For transformative results, we often recommend an initial course of 2-3 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. To sustain the elevated level of skin health and vitality, maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 6-12 months.
How Long the Results Last: Results are progressive and work at a fundamental cellular level. You may notice a rapid improvement in glow, hydration, and calmness within the first week. The powerful signalling effects continue over the following months, with optimal improvements in texture, tone, and firmness visible 2-3 months after your course. By "re-educating" your skin cells to function more youthfully, the results are profound and can last 9-12 months or longer, especially with a consistent skincare regimen.
Downtime & Aftercare: Downtime is directly related to the delivery method. When paired with SkinPen® Microneedling, expect 1-3 days of redness and sensitivity. As a stand-alone infusion or injection, downtime is minimal, often just a few hours of mild redness. We provide a clear, supportive aftercare plan focused on gentle cleansing, intense hydration, and strict sun protection to allow the exosomes to work undisturbed.
Main Benefits of Exosome Treatments
Exosome therapy offers next-level benefits by harnessing your skin’s innate intelligence for comprehensive rejuvenation:
Powerful Cellular Communication: Directly signals fibroblasts and keratinocytes to dramatically boost production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Accelerated Healing & Repair: Optimises the skin's natural healing processes, making it ideal for post-procedure recovery (e.g., after laser or microneedling) and for repairing damaged skin.
Intense Anti-Inflammatory Action: Exceptionally effective at calming inflammation, reducing redness, and strengthening the skin barrier, making it superb for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or reactive skin.
Deep Skin Revitalisation: Reverses signs of ageing and fatigue by improving skin density, elasticity, and overall luminosity for a truly rejuvenated appearance.
Enhanced Treatment Synergy: When used alongside procedures like SkinPen® Microneedling, exosomes exponentially enhance results by turning the treatment into a targeted cellular "update," leading to faster healing and more significant outcomes.
Who are Exosome Treatments For?
Exosome therapy is ideal for the discerning individual seeking the most advanced, non-surgical rejuvenation available. It is perfect for those wanting to reverse significant signs of ageing, fatigue, and sun damage, individuals with stubborn skin concerns like persistent redness, inflammation, or poor texture, and clients looking to maximise and extend the results of other treatments like microneedling or laser. It is also an excellent choice for anyone seeking a preventative "bio-hack" to maintain peak skin health and vitality at a cellular level.

Yes. Exosomes used in aesthetic treatments are rigorously processed and purified in laboratory settings to ensure safety, purity, and potency. They are non-living, non-immunogenic particles, meaning they do not replicate and have an extremely low risk of allergic reaction. Their role is solely to communicate with your existing cells. We source our exosomes from reputable, science-led suppliers, and treatment is administered by our medically-trained practitioners for the highest standard of safety.
-
Patient comfort is paramount. When exosomes are delivered via SkinPen® Microneedling, a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, making the procedure very comfortable. You will feel a vibration or mild pressure. If delivered via superficial injections or other methods, any discomfort is minimal and brief, often described as tiny pinpricks.
-
The timeline is dual-phased. You will often see an initial "exosome glow"—a noticeable improvement in hydration, calmness, and radiance—within 5-7 days. The more structural, regenerative results from new collagen production begin at 4-6 weeks, with visible improvements in firmness, smoothness, and tone continuing to develop for up to 3 months as your skin remodels itself.
-
Downtime is minimal and depends on delivery. For microneedling delivery, expect 1-3 days of redness like a sunburn. For non-invasive delivery methods, redness typically subsides within a few hours. There is no true social downtime with exosome-only infusions, and you can usually apply makeup and return to normal activities the same or next day.

Aftercare is simple but crucial to support the biological process:
For 24-48 Hours: Avoid touching the area, strenuous exercise, excessive heat (saunas, hot showers), and sun exposure. Use only gentle, recommended skincare products.
Essential: Apply a high-SPF, mineral sunscreen daily without fail. The new, regenerating skin is highly susceptible to UV damage.
Avoid: Harsh actives (retinols, acids), exfoliants, and chlorine for at least 5-7 days post-treatment.
You will receive a complete, personalised aftercare protocol following your session.
