Omniya’s exosome treatments combine a plant-derived preparation with a skin procedure such as microneedling, with the aim of supporting recovery and improving skin quality. We commonly use it within treatment plans for fine lines, uneven texture and a complexion that has lost its freshness.
During your consultation, we will examine the area in question, discuss what you have already tried and determine whether exosomes could assist you. You may notice makeup settling into small lines, marks that remain long after a breakout, or skin that feels rough despite a consistent skincare routine. Tell us which of these changes bothers you most.
The exosome add-on starts from £300, with the accompanying procedure charged separately. Allow around 30 minutes for the addition to your appointment.

Exosomes are tiny particles released by cells to carry messages between them. They contain molecules such as proteins and lipids that participate in processes including tissue repair. They are not living cells, and exosome treatment does not involve transplanting stem cells.
For aesthetic treatment, a concentrated preparation is applied to the skin after a suitable procedure. The purpose is to support the skin during recovery and complement the treatment aimed at improving its appearance. Omniya’s topical preparation contains plant-derived exosome-like vesicles. It contains no human-derived material.
Microneedling creates fine, controlled channels in the skin and stimulates its repair response. As collagen develops and remodels, the treatment can soften the appearance of fine lines and some acne scars, and improve uneven texture.
The exosome preparation is applied afterwards, while the skin’s surface barrier is temporarily more permeable. This is why the combination is offered as a clinical procedure: the product and the timing of its application need to suit the freshly treated skin. The add-on is intended to support recovery and skin quality as part of the overall plan.
You can explore our microneedling with exosomes treatment. Exosomes may also be considered alongside Morpheus8 or Moxi laser treatment. These procedures have different effects and recovery periods, so we choose the combination around your skin concerns.
Our preparation contains plant-derived particles, often described as exosome-like vesicles. They come from plant cells, so the treatment does not rely on material collected from human donors.
Human-derived ingredients are prohibited in cosmetic products supplied in Great Britain. We use a plant-derived preparation for our topical treatment and discuss its ingredients with you before application. This also gives you the opportunity to raise allergies, sensitivities or preferences about the products used on your skin.
Small lines around the mouth and changes in the texture of the cheeks can make skin look less smooth, even when deeper wrinkles are not a concern. Microneedling can improve these surface details through gradual collagen remodelling. The exosome add-on is considered within that plan, with the aim of supporting skin recovery.
During your consultation, we look at whether the concern is texture, dryness, loss of support or a combination. That distinction helps us recommend treatment that addresses the reason the lines are noticeable.
Pores and indented acne scars can interrupt an otherwise even complexion. Makeup may collect in those areas, and changes in lighting can make the texture more apparent.
Microneedling can improve the appearance of some depressed scars and visible pores over a course of treatment. It does not remove pores, and deeper scars may need a different approach or a combination of procedures. We assess the type of scarring and whether breakouts are still active before recommending a plan.
A lack of radiance can accompany rough texture, dryness or pigment left by sun exposure and previous breakouts. Understanding which of these is present helps us choose where to start.
A microneedling-based plan may suit uneven texture, while a chemical skin peel may be considered for certain surface concerns. If pigmentation is your main concern, we assess its cause and your skin tone before discussing treatment. Our skin analysis can help inform that assessment.
varies per patient
Allow several weeks to start judging changes after microneedling. Collagen remodelling continues for months, so the result at the end of a course can look different from the result after the first appointment. We look for improvements in the texture and evenness of the treated skin. Fine lines and acne scarring generally need more time than the initial recovery period.
Where a course is appropriate, Omniya usually recommends three to six sessions, depending on the concern and the accompanying procedure. Your practitioner will explain the spacing, what changes to look for and when to review your progress.
Results vary with the condition of your skin and the treatment used. Once you have completed a course, maintenance can be planned around your response, skincare and sun exposure. We discuss the result of the whole treatment plan, including the role of the exosome addition.
We start with what you have noticed and what you would like to be different, then look properly at your skin. Your medical history, current medication, previous treatments and how your skin behaved afterwards all shape what we recommend. It is also the moment to raise timing, since a wedding or a holiday affects when a procedure with visible recovery makes sense.
Bring the names of your skincare products and tell us about recent treatments, including anything carried out elsewhere. Mention prescription creams, medication and any history of cold sores. Your practitioner can then give you preparation advice that fits your routine; do not stop prescribed medication without speaking to your prescriber. Let us know about recent sunburn or an upcoming holiday, as either may affect the timing of treatment.
Your skin is cleansed, and numbing cream is usually applied and given time to work before the microneedling begins. Some areas of the face are more sensitive than others, so tell your practitioner how you are getting on, since the pace and settings can be adjusted. The preparation is worked into the skin immediately afterwards, which adds around half an hour to the appointment.
Your skin may look red and feel warm, rather like mild sunburn, with some swelling, tightness or flaking. These effects can last several days and sometimes up to a week. Going back to work the same day is possible for many people, though how visible your recovery is depends on the procedure and on how your skin reacts, so allow a few days if something in your diary matters. You will be given aftercare covering cleansing, sun protection and when makeup, exercise and active skincare can restart, along with a number to call if anything concerns you.
Any preparation applied to skin can irritate it or, less commonly, cause an allergic reaction, so tell us about allergies and about any skincare that has upset your skin before. Microneedling carries its own risks, including infection, pigment change and, rarely, scarring. Pigment changes need particular consideration in deeper skin tones. We discuss the risks relevant to you before you consent.
Tell us about active acne, rosacea or eczema, cold sores and any previous difficulty with healing. We may need to manage inflammation or postpone treatment until your skin has settled. If you have a mole or lesion that has changed, arrange a dermatology assessment before considering cosmetic treatment.
At Omniya, the exosome add-on starts from £300. Microneedling or another accompanying procedure is an additional charge. We explain both costs at your consultation and give you the combined price. Where we recommend a course of three to six sessions, you will have the cost of the whole course before the first appointment.
Advertised prices across London are rarely like for like, since some cover a single session, some a whole course and some the preparation with the procedure still to be added, so it is always worth asking what is included.
If you are considering exosomes because your hair is thinning, book a consultation specifically for that concern. Scalp treatment needs its own assessment and plan; the facial treatment described here should not be assumed to have the same application or results.
The pattern of hair loss, how long it has been happening and the condition of the scalp help determine which options are suitable. We can discuss whether an exosome-based approach has a role for your concerns.
These treatments differ in what is used and how it is delivered.
PRP treatment uses a sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate the platelets. It involves a blood draw and may be applied or injected according to the treatment plan.
Polynucleotides are injected into the skin and are considered for concerns such as skin quality and hydration. There can be temporary bumps or bruising at the injection sites.
Omniya’s exosome preparation is plant-derived and applied to the skin after the accompanying procedure. There is no blood draw or separate injection of the preparation. Recovery mainly depends on that procedure, although the preparation can also cause irritation.
If your concern is hollowing or a change in facial shape, we will discuss options for volume and support instead. The consultation helps you choose between treatments that can sound similar but serve different purposes.
At our Knightsbridge clinic, we can consider microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling and laser treatment when planning your care. This gives us scope to address different concerns and discuss how each option fits your expectations and the recovery time you can allow.
Our exosome treatment team includes Lead Aesthetic Nurse Raluca Baias and senior aestheticians Joanna Paluch and Virma Schwarz. You can read about their backgrounds on our team page.
Your consultation is the opportunity to ask what the proposed treatment can achieve for your skin, what it involves and how much it will cost. We explain preparation and aftercare before you go ahead, so you can plan the appointment with confidence.
Exosomes serve as natural messengers that facilitate cell-to-cell communication. In aesthetic medicine, they help deliver growth factors and healing signals to damaged or ageing skin cells, promoting repair and regeneration at a cellular level.
Yes. We only use UK-approved, GMP-certified exosome products at Omniya that comply with MHRA regulations and professional medical guidelines.
Exosomes offer several advantages: they provide standardised, consistent potency from controlled sources; they don’t require blood draws; and they’re suitable for patients who cannot undergo PRP. However, combining both treatments often provides superior results.
Exosomes cannot be injected under the skin in the UK. Instead, they are applied topically after procedures that create tiny punctures in the skin.
While exosomes are naturally present in various plant-based foods, dietary exosomes don’t provide the concentrated therapeutic benefits needed for aesthetic treatments. Our medical-grade plant-derived exosomes are specially processed and concentrated for optimal therapeutic effect.
Visible results often appear within 1-2 weeks, but deeper changes (e.g. collagen) take 4-8 weeks. Hair regrowth may require 2-3 months.
The frequency of exosome therapy depends on the treatment used to apply it. In many cases, exosomes are applied every 2-4 weeks as part of an initial course. After this, maintenance sessions are typically recommended to support long-term results. Your practitioner will advise on the best schedule based on your skin concerns and the procedure involved.
PRP is made from your blood and can vary in quality. Exosomes are purified from controlled sources and are consistent, often more potent.
Immediate: Glow, hydration, pore refinement
Short-Term: Pigmentation reduction and collagen stimulation
Long-Term: Firmness, scar fading, and hair density improvement
Repeat sessions are typically required for best results, and individual treatment plans will be recommended based on your needs and goals.
Yes. Microneedling can be booked without the exosome add-on. We will explain why we recommend including it in your plan, and you can decide after discussing the complete cost.
You will receive advice specific to your procedure. Freshly treated skin needs time to settle before makeup, strenuous exercise or active skincare are resumed. Check the timings with your practitioner, especially if you have an event planned, and follow the sun-protection advice you are given.
