What an exosome facial is
Exosomes are tiny particles that cells release to carry signals to other cells. Skincare exosomes are made in laboratories, often from plant or cell cultures, and added to serums that are applied to the skin.
Many clinics combine an exosome serum with microneedling. Ours doesn't: your skin is cleansed and cared for first, then the Eclado Luxe serum is applied to its surface. It's never injected, and no needles are used.
Research is at an early stage. The studies so far are small and short, and their results may not apply to the serum we use, so we can't promise a particular result.
Who it’s for
Adults only
Treatment is only for adults aged 18 and over.
Often a good fit if you
- feel your skin looks dull, tired or uneven
- are interested in a newer skincare approach and happy with early evidence
- would like a facial with no needles. For deeper work on scars or texture, ask us about microneedling
Not suitable, or we’ll wait, if you
- have a known allergy to any of the serum's ingredients
- have broken skin, a skin infection or a cold sore in the area
If an exosome facial isn't the right choice for your skin, we'll tell you and suggest what might suit you better.
Risks and side effects
- Less common
- Redness, irritation or a reaction to the serum. Please tell us about any allergies before your treatment.
- Rare but serious
- Serious reactions such as lumps or allergic reactions have been reported with exosome products, mostly when injected rather than applied to the skin. In the US, the FDA says no exosome products are approved, and has warned about unapproved exosome treatments. We only ever apply our serum to the skin.

Your questions
What are exosomes?
Tiny particles that cells use to send signals. Skincare versions are made in laboratories and added to serums.
Do exosome facials work?
Research is at an early stage. The studies so far are small and short, so we can't promise a particular result.
Is the serum injected?
No. It's applied to the surface of your skin after cleansing, and no needles are used.
Is there any downtime?
Usually none, because no needles are used. If your skin looks red or irritated afterwards, let us know.
How many sessions will I need?
We'll suggest a plan for your skin at your consultation.
