This is a topical gel that is applied to skin during one of the following treatments: microneedling, Morpheus 8, SecretRF ,PicoFX or CO2 laser treatments. The gel is made from billions of exosomes, micro-vesicles that contain thousands of growth factors, cytokines and nutrients that help to boost collagen, elastin and natural hydration. Exosomes work to regenerate skin cells, reduce inflammation, improve immune function and accelerate skin healing. Exosomes can also be applied on the scalp, where they have been found to stimulate hair follicle growth and repair. Â

All our patients are invited for a consultation appointment prior to treatment. During your consultation, the doctor will assess your concerns and the areas for potential treatment. There may be a number of suitable treatment options and the practitioner will discuss these with you in detail. You will be sent information about each treatment via email.
If you choose to go ahead: on the day of treatment you will be seen by the practitioner who will take you through the consent process, answer any other questions you may have, take before-treatment pictures and apply numbing cream to the area.
Once the skin is fully anaesthetised, the treatment will begin. The Exosome gel is applied to the skin during/following microneedling, SecretRF, PicoFX or CO2 laser treatments. Normally patients will feel some sensation of warmth or prickling during treatment but this is very tolerable. The treatment takes approximately 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated. During the treatment you can talk and listen to music. If you wish, you can bring a friend with you. After treatment, the skin often looks pink and slightly puffy.
This treatment can be used for multiple areas on the face or body.
The use of exosomes are supported by numerous clinical studies. This treatment is suitable for all skin types.
We typically recommend a course of 3-6 sessions to see optimal improvements.
Most people will see some improvement 1 month after treatment and optimal results at around 3-6 months after treatment
The results last for several years. However, this will depend on lifestyle factors such as smoking and sun exposure.
The skin is first numbed with numbing cream. During treatment you may feel some mild-moderate heat or stinging. This is usually very well tolerated.
One of the benefits of this approach is very minimal down-time after treatment. The skin is pink and may be slightly puffy for a day after treatment.
The treatment is carried out by one of our qualified team members. For more information about our team, please see Our Story page
It is important to ensure that the skin has not been excessively damaged or inflamed in the time leading up to the treatment. During your consultation, the practitioner will assess the skin and give you advice about how best to optimise your skin health. This may involve using anti-oxidant serums, drinking plenty of water and avoiding sun exposure before and after treatment.
