Lately, all everyone is talking about when it comes to aesthetics is exosomes and PRP. And there you are wondering first of all what are exosomes? You’ve likely seen glowing reviews about PRP (platelet-rich plasma) which has been around for a while. And now, suddenly, exosomes are everywhere. It’s easy to feel lost. But at the end of the day you just want what works. You are not looking to gamble. Or chase trends and empty promises. You need something proven, effective, and tailored to your skin’s needs. As an Aesthetic Practitioner of 20 years I have all the answers for you. So let’s talk about why I recommend exosomes over prp?
PRP vs Exosomes – What’s the difference, and why does it matter?
First, a quick recap. PRP uses your own blood, spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets. These are rich in growth factors and great for kickstarting healing and regeneration. It’s been around for a while. And yes, it has its place.
But Exosomes? They’re on another level. Exosomes are nano-sized messengers, naturally produced by stem cells. Think of them like little couriers delivering instructions to your skin cells: “Hey, it’s time to repair. Renew. Regenerate.” They don’t just “tell” your skin to improve. They recode the way it heals.
While PRP relies on what your own body can offer in that moment (which varies depending on health, age, nutrients, and other factors), Exosomes are lab-engineered to be consistent, potent, and highly targeted. No blood draws. No gambling when it comes to quality. Just pure skin support, down to the cellular level.
Why I recommend exosomes over prp for skin rejuvenation?
Ok, so imagine you’ve started to notice fine lines, stubborn pigmentation, maybe even scarring or dullness that no serum can fix. PRP might help a little on the surface. (Again here we hope when the blood is drawn all internal health factors are at their prime). But exosomes go deeper. They don’t just boost surface glow, they restore cellular communication, improve skin texture, calm inflammation, and sustain collagen production.
Some of the reasons our clients are choosing exosomes over PRP:
- Faster healing time after microneedling or laser
- More visible results in skin tone and texture
- Better for sensitive skin or those prone to inflammation
- No need for blood draw (great if needles aren’t your thing)
- Clinically proven, especially useful for mature or compromised skin
There’s definitely a shift we’re seeing in clinic. Where patients are no longer asking, “What makes me look younger for a week?” They’re asking, “What helps my skin behave younger for the long term?” That’s where exosome therapy shines.
A shift from boosting to reprogramming
It’s not about choosing the most expensive or trending treatment. It’s about choosing the most effective one for your skin. Exosome therapy isn’t here to replace everything, but it is quickly becoming the gold standard for anyone who wants to support skin health at the root. It’s is really the new era of aesthetics and how e approach staying young for as long as we can. Whether you’re dealing with premature ageing, acne scarring, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or just dull, tired skin that needs a reset – exosomes deliver where PRP might plateau.
