What are exosomes?
The most-shared page on our site, and the best place to start if the word is new to you.
The short version
Exosomes are nano-scale extracellular vesicles: tiny packets that cells release to communicate with one another. They carry signalling proteins, messenger RNA and lipids. In effect, they are the messages cells send to coordinate repair and renewal.
Why that matters for skin
When applied to skin that has been opened by precise microchannels, exosomes reach the fibroblasts that build the skin's structural matrix. The signalling cargo prompts those cells to behave more like younger ones: producing more collagen, more elastin and more hyaluronic acid, laid down in better-organised patterns.
What they are not
Exosomes are not filler and not a peel. They do not add volume or strip the surface. They re-instruct the cells already in your skin. And, importantly, the exosomes we use are plant-derived and applied topically. We do not inject them, and we do not use human-derived material.
What to expect
The change is gradual and compounding: better light reflection within a fortnight, meaningful structural improvement over four to six weeks. It is maintenance, not a one-off event.
