Exosome facial

A skin treatment combining micro-needling with a topical serum, at our
Mermaid Waters clinic.

What it involves

Micro-channels are created in the skin using a micro-needling device, and a serum is
applied to the treated surface. As with any micro-needling treatment, expect redness and
possible peeling for 24–72 hours.

What the evidence says

Research into these serums for skin is early and the published evidence is limited. We
will discuss with you at consultation what is and is not established. We do not make
claims about this treatment that we cannot support.

Risks, recovery and what to expect

This is a considered decision

This treatment involves micro-needling, which creates controlled wounds in the skin. It is not suitable for everyone.

Common effects

Redness and swelling for 24–72 hours
Peeling or flaking as the skin recovers
Tenderness

Less common and serious risks

Infection
Pigmentation change, particularly in deeper skin tones
Allergic reaction to the serum

Recovery

Most people prefer not to have social or work commitments for the first day or two. Sun protection afterwards is important.

Pain

Numbing cream can be applied beforehand. Pain thresholds differ between people.

Outcomes and how long they last

A course of treatments may be recommended. Duration of any effect varies considerably between individuals, and some people see little change.

Individual responses and results vary. The outcome experienced by one
person does not necessarily reflect what another person will experience. Some people see
little or no change. We cannot and do not guarantee an outcome.

Book a consultation

Every procedure begins with a consultation at our Mermaid Waters clinic, where we
assess whether it is appropriate for you, explain the risks and recovery, and give
you a written treatment plan including costs. Attending a consultation does not mean
a procedure will be recommended — sometimes we advise against one, and cosmetic
procedures are not the only way to address concerns about appearance.
