When to call
Exosomes are applied to the skin rather than injected, and the main risks are those of the microneedling that accompanies them, chiefly infection. This is reduced by sterile single-use needle cartridges, careful technique and following your aftercare. Allergic or irritant reactions are uncommon. Because exosomes work by signalling to cells, anyone with an active cancer diagnosis or on immunosuppressive treatment is assessed individually and may be advised not to go ahead.
