The short answer: no, they do not. And certainly not ours.
Exosomes in Aesthetic Treatments: At Revive NX UK, our exosomes are bacterially derived, not human-derived, which means they are cultivated from probiotic Lactobacillus Paracasei in a laboratory setting, purified, safety-tested, and freeze-dried for professional use.
This rigorous process removes DNA, leaving a safe, highly refined treatment ingredient.
Bacterially derived means these exosomes are produced from probiotic cultures grown in a clean laboratory, rather than being taken from human tissue. The material is then refined so that the functional signalling components remain, while the DNA is removed. Each batch is thoroughly checked for purity and safety, and supplied for single-use only, which prevents splitting or saving and reduces the risk of cross-contamination in clinics. The point is simple: a clean, consistent ingredient intended to support the skin’s own repair messages rather than introduce genetic material. That’s why the conversation is about regeneration and recovery—not about cell overgrowth or cancer.
So where does the “cancer concern” come from?
Some people suggest exosomes might multiply harmful cells. That is a misunderstanding of how exosomes work. Exosomes are not rogue growth agents; they are messengers. When trauma or damage occurs in the skin, healthy cells naturally release exosomes to communicate with damaged or ageing cells, sending a coded instruction to repair and regenerate.
Far from feeding cancer, this mechanism is one of nature’s most elegant repair systems.
Exosomes have been studied for over 40 years by leading pharmaceutical companies. Once dismissed as waste products, they are now understood as highly sophisticated “delivery packages” of regenerative information.
In fact, research is ongoing into exosomes in oncology, but not because they cause cancer. Quite the opposite: scientists are exploring their potential to help regenerate healthy cells in patients undergoing treatment.
Our exosomes go one step further. ReviveNX holds the world’s only patented nitrogen formula, combined with high quality and high quantity, safe, 150 billion bacterially derived exosomes per vial.
Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid skin boosters, this technology works at the cellular level to strengthen, repair, and restore the skin, making it the first step in achieving natural, flawless results.
And the timing could not be more perfect.
2025 is the year of undetectable injectables, celebrities are dissolving fillers and moving towards skin-first treatments.
Exosomes with microneedling are a powerhouse combination: microneedling already triggers your skin’s own exosome release, and by amplifying that with our bacterially derived exosomes, you supercharge the skin’s ability to heal, regenerate, and glow.
In summary:
- Exosomes do not cause cancer.
Ours are bacterially derived, rigorously purified, and DNA-free. - Exosomes are a natural signalling system between healthy and damaged cells.
This technology has been studied for decades and is proven safe, effective, and regenerative.
Revive NX exosomes, developed by ChaMeditech, a pharmaceutical and medical research giant in South Korea, are a groundbreaking advancement in skin science. The future of natural rejuvenation is designed for an industry moving beyond obvious fillers and towards cellular repair.
