"I recently had a virtual consultation with Dr Nina for my melasma condition. I have been trying many different treatment options over the past year since it has developed and nothing really seemed to work. Dr Nina prescribed a variety of medical grade treatments and only after TEN (this is not at all an exaggeration) days the melasma on my cheeks has significantly reduced to the point that my friend said she couldn’t even see it. Not only has this experience improved my skin’s condition, but it has helped my mental health and confidence dramatically. Dr Nina is extremely personable, charming and I felt that she really understood my concerns. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and I would 100% go back for other treatments, as she has gained my full trust."

The treatment
What are Target Cool exosomes?
Target Cool is a pain-free exosome treatment that uses a gentle, cooling delivery system to drive exosomes into the skin. Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring messengers that carry growth factors, cytokines and peptides — signalling molecules that tell skin cells to repair, calm and regenerate. By delivering these directly into the skin, the treatment aims to boost skin health and vitality, improving the look of fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage and leaving the complexion softer, firmer and more radiant.
It is designed to be flexible. As a stand-alone treatment it is a comfortable way to rejuvenate and soothe the skin; but for the ultimate optimisation of delivery, it is added on to a treatment that has just created micro-channels in the skin — most often SkinPen or other microneedling, or the Lutronic LaseMD Ultra laser. Adding exosomes after these treatments helps the skin absorb them and can calm, soothe and reduce redness, supporting recovery and results.
Target Cool exosomes are one of several skin-quality and recovery-support treatments — see our skin health treatments for how they fit alongside options such as polynucleotides or the Aquagold facial, and the honest limitations below.

Target Cool exosomes are designed to rejuvenate and repair skin quality, and to calm and support recovery.

- Fine lines, dullness or the look of sun damage
- Redness or sensitivity that would benefit from calming
- Having microneedling or Lutronic laser and wanting to optimise delivery

The process
How Target Cool exosomes work, step by step
- Consultation & skin assessmentDr Nina or the team assess your skin, concerns and goals and decide whether exosomes are best stand-alone or as an add-on to microneedling or laser.
- Cleanse & prepThe skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared; if combined, your microneedling or Lutronic laser treatment is performed first.
- Exosome deliveryThe exosomes are delivered with the pain-free Target Cool system; when added after micro-channelling, absorption is optimised.
- Calm & sootheThe exosomes help calm and soothe the skin and can reduce redness, which is part of why they make such a good add-on.
- Aftercare & reviewYou receive aftercare and sun-protection advice, and any further sessions or combinations are planned.
“A less-is-more philosophy: exosomes used where they genuinely help — to nourish, calm and support the skin’s own repair.”
The Facial Sculpting approach · Dr Nina BalBefore treatment
What happens at your consultation
A consultation and skin assessment are recommended before Target Cool exosomes. During your appointment with Dr Nina and her team your skin is assessed, your medical history reviewed and your suitability confirmed. You will be talked through the treatment in detail — including whether it is best stand-alone or as an add-on — and given the opportunity to ask questions.
The consultation covers your skin type and concerns, any contraindications or allergies, realistic expected outcomes, how exosomes can support other treatments, aftercare and sun protection, and confirmation of your individual plan and price.
Results & recovery
What to expect afterwards
Target Cool exosomes involve minimal downtime. After a stand-alone treatment, skin usually feels hydrated and rejuvenated, with at most mild redness for a few hours. When added after microneedling or laser, the exosomes actually help calm the skin and reduce redness, so they can make recovery from those treatments more comfortable. Your team provides aftercare guidance, including daily SPF.
Results & longevity: many people notice fresher, softer skin within a few days, with continued improvement over about four to six weeks as the exosomes support skin repair and regeneration. Results are not permanent and are best maintained as part of an ongoing skin-health plan. Outcomes vary with skin type, the treatment exosomes are paired with, and lifestyle.
Typical results timeline
Day of treatment
Skin feels hydrated and rejuvenated; any mild redness settles within a few hours.
First days
A fresher, softer, more radiant complexion begins to show.
Weeks 4–6
Continued improvement as the exosomes support skin repair and regeneration.
Ongoing
Results are best maintained within a wider skin-health plan, with treatments repeated as advised.
Safety
Possible risks & side effects
Target Cool exosomes are pain-free and generally very well tolerated, but as with any skin treatment there are some possible effects: temporary redness, mild warmth or sensitivity that usually settle within hours. When combined with microneedling or laser, the usual considerations and aftercare for that treatment also apply, and the exosomes typically help calm the skin afterwards.
Careful skin assessment, a suitable product and an experienced practitioner are important for a safe, sensible result. As exosome skincare is an evolving area, Dr Nina will give you honest, measured advice about what to expect. If anything is unexpected after treatment, you can contact the clinic.
Honest limitations
What exosomes can and cannot do
- They support skin quality and repair — they do not lift, tighten or add volume.
- They cannot remove deep static wrinkles or replace injectables, energy devices or surgery.
- Results are not permanent and are best maintained within a wider skin-health plan.
- They are most effective as an add-on after micro-channelling, not a structural treatment.
Compare your options
Exosomes vs other skin treatments
A simple, honest comparison to help you and Dr Nina choose the right skin-health route.
| Approach | Best for | Invasiveness | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target Cool Exosomes | Repair, glow & calming; recovery support | Pain-free topical exosome delivery | Minimal |
| SkinPen | Texture, scars & collagen | Minimally invasive microneedling | Minimal (~1–3 days) |
| Polynucleotides | Skin regeneration, repair & elasticity | Injectable regenerative treatment | Minimal |
| Aquagold Facial | Glow, pores & texture (bespoke micro-infusion) | Superficial micro-channelling | Minimal |
| Dermalux LED | Calming, clearing & rejuvenation | Non-invasive light therapy | None |
Target Cool exosomes are most often added to SkinPen or other microneedling, or to the Lutronic LaseMD Ultra laser — but they also work as a soothing stand-alone. The right plan is discussed honestly at consultation.

The procedures I had were virtually painless and honestly the skill and artistry has blown me away (I might’ve gotten a bit teary looking at my new nose!) honestly the best thing I’ve ever bought myself - thank you

Your questions
Target Cool exosomes: your questions answered
What are Target Cool exosomes?
Target Cool is a pain-free way to deliver exosomes into the skin. Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring messengers that carry growth factors, cytokines and peptides — signalling molecules that prompt skin cells to repair, calm and regenerate. The treatment aims to improve skin quality, soothe the skin and support recovery, used stand-alone or as an add-on.
How much do Target Cool exosomes cost in London?
Target Cool exosomes at Facial Sculpting are from £400, typically as an add-on to microneedling or the Lutronic Ultra laser, and they can also be taken as a soothing stand-alone treatment. Your exact plan — including whether to combine it with another treatment — is confirmed after a skin assessment.
Can exosomes be used as a stand-alone treatment?
Yes. Target Cool exosomes can be a comfortable stand-alone treatment to rejuvenate and soothe the skin. However, they are often added to other treatments — particularly microneedling — to boost healing and results, because delivery into freshly micro-channelled skin is more effective. Dr Nina will advise which approach suits you.
What treatments pair best with Target Cool exosomes?
They pair best with any type of microneedling — such as SkinPen, radiofrequency microneedling or Aquagold — or with the Lutronic LaseMD Ultra laser, where the micro-channels optimise delivery. That said, they make a great add-on to many treatments because they can calm and soothe the skin and minimise redness.
How do exosomes help after microneedling or laser?
After microneedling or laser, the skin has tiny channels and is in repair mode, so exosomes can be absorbed more effectively and deliver their growth factors where they are most useful. They also help calm the skin and reduce redness, which can make recovery from those treatments more comfortable and support the final result.
What can I expect after treatment?
After treatment your skin usually feels hydrated and rejuvenated. There is minimal downtime, though mild redness may persist for a few hours — and when added after microneedling or laser, the exosomes typically help calm any redness from that treatment. You will be given aftercare advice, including daily SPF.
How soon will I see results and how long do they last?
Results can appear within a few days, with continued improvement over about four to six weeks as the exosomes support skin repair and regeneration. Results are not permanent and are best maintained as part of an ongoing skin-health plan. Individual results vary with skin type, lifestyle and the treatment exosomes are paired with.
Are exosome treatments safe?
Target Cool exosomes are pain-free and generally very well tolerated, with effects usually limited to temporary redness or mild sensitivity. As exosome skincare is a newer and evolving area, Dr Nina will give you honest, measured advice and assess your suitability carefully. When combined with microneedling or laser, the aftercare for that treatment also applies.
Do Target Cool exosomes hurt?
No — the Target Cool delivery itself is pain-free. If exosomes are added after microneedling or laser, any sensation comes from that treatment rather than the exosomes, which actually help soothe the skin afterwards. Most people find the exosome step calming and comfortable.
Are exosomes suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
They can be — exosomes are often used specifically to calm and soothe, which can suit redness and sensitivity. As with any treatment, suitability is assessed first, and active infection, a cold sore outbreak or certain conditions may mean treatment is delayed. We will confirm what is right for your skin.
How many sessions of exosomes will I need?
This depends on your skin and whether exosomes are used stand-alone or as an add-on to a course of microneedling or laser. They are often repeated alongside those treatments to support results and recovery. Dr Nina and the team will recommend a sensible plan and rhythm at consultation.
How are exosomes different from polynucleotides?
Both are regenerative skin treatments, but they work differently. Exosomes deliver signalling molecules to prompt repair and are delivered topically (often after micro-channelling), while polynucleotides are injected to support skin repair, hydration and elasticity. They can play complementary roles in a skin-health plan, and Dr Nina will advise which suits your goals.
What aftercare do exosomes need?
Keep the skin clean, hydrated and protected, avoid heavy makeup and direct sun for the first day or so, and pause strong actives until your skin has settled — following any aftercare for a treatment they were combined with. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is recommended. You will be given tailored advice to protect your results.
Is a consultation required before Target Cool exosomes?
A consultation and skin assessment are recommended to check your skin and concerns, review your medical history and any allergies, decide whether exosomes are best stand-alone or as an add-on, and agree your plan and price. This ensures the treatment is appropriate and used where it genuinely helps.
