Hello Interloper!

Exosomes are tiny particles naturally released by cells. They contain growth factors and signals that can help stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation when applied topically.
Topical exosome treatments are not illegal in the UK. However, injecting exosomes is not permitted, and sourcing standards are not yet strictly regulated.
No. Exosomes can come from human, plant, or animal sources (such as salmon), and product quality varies widely. Some brands marketed as “plant-based” have been found to contain human material.
Risks arise when:
The source of the exosomes is unclear
The product is falsely advertised
Clinics use unverified suppliers
Exosomes are injected rather than used topically
Patients often report:
Brighter skin
Improved texture
Reduced redness
Enhanced healing after treatments like microneedling
Results vary depending on the product used and the clinic’s technique.
