Introduction to Exosome Treatments

If you’ve been frustrated by dull skin that doesn’t seem to bounce back like it used to, or you’re tired of chasing glow with products that never quite deliver, exosome therapy may be the transformation your skin has been craving. It could be fine lines that suddenly feel deeper, sun damage that won’t fade, or rough texture that makeup can’t hide. Regardless, your skin’s slowdown in repair is natural… but it doesn’t have to be permanent.

At The Carney Center in Virginia Beach, we offer exosome treatments for patients who want to go beyond the surface and tap into powerful, science-backed skin rejuvenation. Exosomes work at the cellular level to reactivate your skin’s healing process, boost collagen production, and restore a smoother, brighter, and healthier appearance over time. They can dramatically enhance recovery, reduce inflammation, and unlock results that leave your skin clear, smooth, and radiant.

What is an Exosome Treatment?

Exosome therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses exosomes (tiny extracellular vesicles naturally produced by stem cells) to directly deliver growth factors, proteins, lipids, and genetic material to your skin cells. These exosomes act as messengers, enhancing cell-to-cell communication and triggering a cascade of regenerative processes that improve skin health from the inside out.

Exosome treatments are typically applied topically following microneedling or laser treatments, when the skin is most receptive to absorption. Once absorbed, the exosomes go to work stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving hydration, reducing inflammation, and encouraging tissue repair. Because exosomes are derived from stem cells, they offer a highly concentrated, biologically active form of cellular rejuvenation, with minimal downtime and no surgery required.

What Are the Benefits of an Exosome Treatment?

The benefits of exosome therapy are wide-ranging and continue to gain recognition in the world of regenerative aesthetics. Most notably, exosomes help accelerate skin healing, boost collagen and elastin production, and improve visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. Patients often notice brighter, smoother, and more hydrated skin after a series of treatments. Exosome therapy also supports post-procedure recovery, making it an excellent add-on for treatments such as microneedling, CO2 laser resurfacing, and RF microneedling. It can reduce redness and inflammation while accelerating tissue regeneration, resulting in less downtime and faster results. Over time, the skin becomes more resilient, youthful-looking, and radiant.

Who Are the Best Candidates For an Exosome Treatment?

Exosome therapy is ideal for anyone seeking to rejuvenate their skin from within, particularly if you’ve noticed signs of aging, dullness, or slower healing. It’s a great option for patients who aren’t ready for surgery or more invasive procedures but still want to achieve meaningful improvements in skin quality and elasticity. If your skin is tired, uneven, or simply not responding to your current skincare or treatments the way it used to, exosomes could be the boost your skin needs to thrive again. This treatment is safe for most skin types and tones and is particularly well-suited for people who want to enhance the results of their in-office procedures.

What’s the
first step?

A consultation at The Carney Center, located in either Virginia Beach or Newport News, is the best way to help you determine whether exosome therapy is the right path for your aesthetic journey.

When you come in, we’ll take the time to understand your skin concerns, medical history, and any previous treatments you’ve tried. From there, our providers will create a plan that aligns with your goals, whether it’s a standalone exosome treatment or a combination with another skin-renewing procedure for optimal results.

We believe in patient education, transparency, and collaboration. Before any treatment begins, we’ll explain what to expect, including the improvements you can realistically expect, and how to maintain those results over time.

What to Expect From an Exosome Treatment

At either our Virginia Beach or Newport News office, your provider will begin by preparing your skin, usually through a gentle cleansing and possibly pairing the treatment with microneedling, laser, or radiofrequency, depending on your goals. These techniques help create microchannels in the skin, allowing the exosomes to penetrate deeper and stimulate regenerative activity more effectively.

The exosome serum is then applied directly to the skin, where it begins delivering its potent growth factors, peptides, and signaling molecules. While the treatment itself is not painful, if combined with other modalities, you may experience a mild warmth or tingling sensation. The process typically takes under an hour, and once complete, your skin will begin to absorb and respond to the exosomes over the next several days.

Exosome Treatment Recovery

One of the biggest advantages of exosome therapy is the minimal downtime required. Most patients experience only minor redness or sensitivity following their session, particularly if the treatment was paired with microneedling or laser. These effects are usually short-lived and subside within 24 to 48 hours. Because exosomes promote faster healing, you may actually recover more quickly from these complementary procedures than you would without them.

Over the following week, you’ll likely notice that your skin feels softer, looks more radiant, and takes on a visibly smoother texture. To maximize results, it’s important to follow post-treatment guidelines, avoid harsh skin care products, and protect your skin from sun exposure.
