What It Is and What to Expect
Exosomes are one of the most talked-about developments in skin regeneration, and one of the concerns we are asked about most often at Ametrine Aesthetics Newcastle. They are also widely misunderstood, with a lot of marketing language that promises more than the science supports. Our role is to cut through that and give you an honest picture.
At Ametrine Aesthetics Newcastle we offer exosome treatment using Purasomes, applied alongside SkinPen microneedling so the actives can reach the skin where they are needed. This guide explains what exosomes actually are, how the treatment works, what results are genuinely realistic, and how exosomes compare with polynucleotides.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny messengers, smaller than a cell, that your cells naturally release to communicate with one another. They carry growth factors and signalling proteins that tell surrounding skin cells how to behave, including how to repair and regenerate. The exosomes used in treatment are purified and concentrated so they can support the skin’s own renewal processes.
It is worth clearing up a common misconception: exosomes are not stem cells. They are the messengers that cells use, isolated for treatment. A clinic that describes exosomes as a stem cell therapy is not being accurate, and we believe you deserve a clear explanation of exactly what you are having.
How Exosome Treatment Works at Ametrine
Exosomes are most effective when they can reach beneath the surface of the skin, which is why we pair them with microneedling rather than applying them as a serum on intact skin. SkinPen creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, and these channels allow the Purasomes exosomes to be delivered far deeper than a topical product could reach. If you would like the full detail on the needling itself, our guide to microneedling in Newcastle walks through how it works.
Depending on your skin goals, our team will select the appropriate Purasomes complex:
- Purasomes SGC100+ Skin Glow Complex for radiance, tone and overall glow
- Purasomes NC150+ Skin Nutri Complex for tired, depleted or stressed skin that needs nourishing support
- Purasomes HSC50+ Hair & Scalp Complex where the concern is thinning hair rather than facial skin
What Results Are Realistic?
At Ametrine Aesthetics Newcastle we set honest expectations. Exosome-supported microneedling is a gradual, regenerative treatment, not an overnight fix. Most clients are working towards improvements in skin texture, tone, radiance and overall skin quality, with results developing over the weeks that follow as new collagen forms. A course is usually recommended, because skin renewal happens in cycles, and we will recommend a plan based on your skin rather than a predetermined package.
Exosomes or Polynucleotides?
Both are regenerative, and we offer both at Ametrine Aesthetics Newcastle, but they work differently. Polynucleotides such as Plinest, Ameela and Newest are injected to repair and deeply hydrate the skin’s structure from within. Exosomes are signalling molecules applied across microneedled skin to direct how your cells behave. Neither is automatically better; the right choice depends on your skin and your goals, which is something we will discuss at your consultation. If skin quality is your main concern, our overview of skin boosters is also worth a read.
What Is the Downtime?
Because exosomes are delivered with microneedling, recovery follows the microneedling pattern. Expect some redness and a warm, tight feeling for 24 to 48 hours, similar to mild sunburn, and skin that may feel slightly rough as it renews. Daily SPF is essential while the skin settles, and we will talk you through aftercare at your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are exosomes the same as stem cells?
No. Exosomes are the messenger packages cells use to communicate, carrying growth factors and signalling proteins. They are not stem cells, and at Ametrine Aesthetics Newcastle we will always explain exactly what your treatment involves.
How are exosomes applied?
At Ametrine we apply Purasomes exosomes immediately after SkinPen microneedling, so they can be delivered deep into the skin through the micro-channels rather than sitting on the surface.
How many exosome sessions will I need?
Exosome treatment works best as a short course, because skin renewal happens in cycles. The exact number is recommended during your consultation based on your skin and your goals.
What is the difference between exosomes and polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides such as Plinest are injected to repair and hydrate the skin’s structure. Exosomes are signalling molecules applied across microneedled skin to direct cell behaviour. Our team can advise which suits you.
Is there downtime after exosome treatment?
Expect redness and a warm, tight feeling for 24 to 48 hours, with skin that may feel slightly rough as it renews. Daily SPF is essential while the skin settles.
