Do Exosomes Contain RNA?
Here’s What You Need to Know
Making informed decisions about skincare treatments and products is just as important as making informed decisions for general healthcare.
Today’s technology makes that easier than ever.
We asked this:
Rejuvience Med Spa uses FDA-cleared topical exosomes like BENEV ERC and AnteAGE MDX in skin rejuvenation treatments to speed healing, amplify treatment results, and help skin function better at a cellular level.
The exosomes in these products are human derived from ethical sources such as donated adipose (fat) tissue and bone marrow. Human-derived exosomes do contain RNA.
The health issues caused by the imperfect science of mRNA-based COVID vaccines are in headlines. When people learn that exosomes contain RNA, they are concerned they might be compromising their health.
Please provide the information they need to make an informed decision about whether to have a skin rejuvenation treatment that includes professional FDA-cleared exosome products.
🔬 What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are nano-sized messengers released naturally by cells. In skincare, they’re used topically to:
- Boost skin rejuvenation treatment healing
- Improve collagen and elastin production
- Calm inflammation and redness
- Enhance skin tone and texture
🧬 Do Exosomes Contain RNA?
Yes, but not the kind you’re thinking of.
- The RNA inside exosomes is natural, not synthetic.
- It’s part of a cell’s built-in messaging system that helps tissues heal and regenerate.
- It does not instruct your body to make viral proteins (as mRNA vaccines do).
- It does not enter your DNA or alter your genetic code.
- Think of it like a text message between cells—not a reprogramming tool.
✅ Are These Products Safe?
The exosomes in BENEV ERC and AnteAGE MDX exosomes are:
- Human-derived from ethically donated adipose or bone marrow tissue
- Minimally processed to ensure safety and potency
- FDA-cleared for cosmetic use (topical only)
- Cell-free, which significantly reduces the risk of immune response
These are not injections, not systemic, and not vaccines. They’re applied to your skin’s surface and help it repair and regenerate naturally.

🛡️ Making an Informed Choice
Choosing an exosome-enhanced treatment is like giving your skin the tools it needs to heal and thrive, not compromising your health. If you’ve benefited from treatments that included PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or growth factors, think of exosomes as the next generation in regenerative skin care.
