Exosome Therapy
Exosome Therapy combines SkinPen Precision microneedling with topical exosomes to support the skin's natural renewal process, helping to calm inflammation and improve overall skin quality.
The short answer
What is exosome therapy?
Exosomes are tiny messengers that cells use to communicate, carrying signals that support renewal and recovery. At Perfectus Derma Aesthetics in Soho, we use Purasomes and Secretomes by Derma Focus, ethically derived from bovine colostrum, applied topically to the skin rather than injected, because in the UK exosomes are used as a topical treatment.
They are applied straight after SkinPen Precision microneedling rather than on their own, so this is a combined treatment rather than a standalone one. Evidence for exosomes is still emerging, so our nurses use them thoughtfully as part of a wider regenerative plan, always after a face-to-face consultation.

Patient journey
What to expect from exosome therapy
Consultation & preparation
Avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, alcohol and harsh actives such as retinoids for a few days before your session, as advised. Arrive with clean skin and no make-up. Tell your nurse about any recent skin treatments, cold sores or active breakouts at your consultation.
During treatment
Aftercare
Redness and warmth settle within 24 to 48 hours. Avoid make-up, saunas, swimming and direct sun for the first day or two, and use a gentle cleanser and SPF. Your nurse will confirm when to restart your usual skincare and any further sessions.

FAQ
Exosome therapy
FAQs
Are exosomes injected?
No. In the UK, exosomes are applied topically to the surface of the skin, not injected. We apply them immediately after SkinPen microneedling, so the freshly created channels help them reach deeper into the skin. This approach keeps the treatment gentle while allowing the exosomes to work where recovery is most active.
What can exosome therapy help with?
Exosomes are used to support the skin after microneedling, particularly where redness, uneven texture or dullness are a concern. They are best thought of as a way to strengthen the results of a regenerative treatment plan. Evidence is still emerging, so we use them as a complement rather than a standalone fix.
Is there downtime after exosome therapy?
Because exosomes are paired with microneedling, the downtime is the same as microneedling alone. Expect redness and a feeling of warmth, much like mild sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours. Avoid make-up, sun exposure and harsh skincare for the first day or two, and always protect the skin with SPF.
How many exosome sessions will I need?
The number recommended depends on your skin quality, your concerns and how your skin responds, so it is decided with you rather than fixed in advance. A single session can be a lovely boost before an event, while a course suits someone working on overall skin quality. Your nurse recommends the plan at your consultation.
