It is often considered as an add-on after a selected procedure or as part of a skin-quality plan. Recovery and results depend on the paired treatment, your skin, and the specific product.

A dermatologist-trained SOM provider reviews your skin and goals and designs the protocol and pairing.
Skin is cleansed; the paired treatment (microneedling or laser) is prepared.
About 45 to 60 minutes. Exosomes and growth factors are applied during or after the treatment.
Minimal downtime; skin quality improves over the weeks that follow.
Follow the prep for your paired treatment (microneedling or laser). Avoid blood thinners for 48 hours if needling is involved, avoid sun and self-tanner, and arrive with clean skin.
• Follow prep for the paired treatment
• Avoid blood thinners 48h prior if needling
• Avoid sun and self-tanner before treatment
• Clean skin, no makeup
• Plan a series for best skin quality

An exosome session takes about 30 to 45 minutes. It is often paired with microneedling or laser to help the exosome serum absorb. the SOM clinical team preps the skin, applies the exosomes, and drives them in. You will feel the paired treatment’s sensation.
• 30–45 minute session
• Often paired with microneedling/laser
• Exosome serum applied
• Driven into prepped skin
• Sensation follows the paired step

If paired with microneedling, expect mild pinkness for 1 to 2 days. Avoid makeup for 24 hours, avoid sun, and use SPF. Skin quality and glow improve over the following weeks; a short series builds the best result.
• Mild pinkness 1–2 days (if paired)
• No makeup 24h
• Avoid sun, daily SPF
• Glow builds over weeks
• Short series for best result

• Follow aftercare for the paired treatment
• Apply sunscreen daily and reapply outdoors
• Keep skin clean and hydrated while healing
• Give skin weeks to show quality gains
• Complete the series for best results
• Call us right away with any unusual symptoms
• Do not assume all exosome products are equal
• Do not skip telling us your medical history
• Avoid sun and self-tanner around treatment
• Do not pick at needled or treated skin
• Do not expect volumizer-like structural volume
• Do not replace medical review with online advice
Exosomes are tiny particles that cells release to carry biological signals. Exosome-based skincare products are used alongside some aesthetic procedures. Their composition and effects vary by product, so the specific formula matters when choosing an add-on.
At SOM, topical exosome products are used after selected skin procedures and as part of home care. Your consultation covers the product, how it is applied, and whether it fits your treatment plan. Topical use and injection are different methods.
PRP is prepared from a sample of your own blood. Exosome products are manufactured formulations containing cell-derived particles. Choosing between them depends on the procedure, the evidence for the specific product, and your goals; neither is automatically the better option.
Plan your recovery around the main procedure. Microneedling or laser can cause redness and sensitivity even when an exosome product is added. Recovery time depends on treatment intensity and your skin; an add-on does not guarantee faster healing.
The product, application, and accompanying skin procedure affect the total cost. At your SOM consultation, discuss whether the quote includes the main treatment, the exosome add-on, and any home-care products so you can compare the complete plan.
There are currently no FDA-approved exosome products, and evidence for aesthetic benefits varies by product and method of use. Ask about the exact formulation, intended application, and alternatives; topical marketing does not establish safety or effectiveness for injection or use through treated skin.
