Exosomes Therapy: The Future of Skin Regeneration

By Kali (Lead Medical Aesthetician, Brandon MB)

Cosmetic injections have always been a popular option. But more and more patients are seeking treatments that not only improve their appearance, but also the health and function of their skin. One of the latest buzzworthy treatments is Exosome Therapy. While Exosomes are gaining huge momentum in the skin care world, they are not a passing trend. Exosomes are revolutionizing skin treatments with their regenerative qualities.

Exosome therapy involves the application of topical exosomes during treatments like resurfacing lasers and microneedling. They are proving to be a promising innovation for treating all kinds of skin conditions, as well as contributing to overall skin health.

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are released by cells and contain a variety of important molecules, like proteins, lipids, growth factors, peptides and antioxidants. These tiny structures have an enormous role to play in skin regeneration. They act as messengers between cells and trigger healing processes. They can direct recipient cells to produce collagen, elastin, and other essential components for healthy skin.

Key terms:

Proteins: collagen and elastin are both proteins vital for giving skin volume, strength and resilience
Lipids: prevent sun damage, promote moisture retention, and aid in skin healing

Growth factors: prompt skin repair and boost collagen and elastin production
Peptides: designed to boost and replenish amino acids
Amino acids: maintain skin’s hydration, texture, resilience and contribute to an overall supple, healthy appearance
Antioxidants: help prevent cell damage

How do exosomes benefit the skin?

Similar to collagen and elastin, the body will produce fewer exosomes as it ages. Often these remaining cells do not perform at full capacity. This decline leads to signs of aging, such as loss of elasticity, fine lines, wrinkles, dull complexion and discoloration.

Through exosome therapy, an abundance of new exosomes swoop in and wake up inactive skin cells and older exosomes so they can get back to work to repair, strengthen, and rejuvenate skin.

Exosomes work best when used in combination with treatments that create microscopic channels in the skin, like microneedling or fractionated lasers. These channels allow the exosomes to be delivered directly into the skin and reach the deeper layers for enhanced rejuvenation. In the process, treatment increases collagen and elastin production, improves wound healing, and decreases pigment production. The addition of Exosomes elevates treatments beyond skin rejuvenation to regeneration.

Who should try exosome therapy?

Basically, everyone can benefit from exosome therapy because treatment has such a wide range of benefits. Individuals who are looking for a new anti-aging treatment, as well as those with textural issues, scarring, dull complexions and inflammation can see improvement with this procedure. Best of all, exosomes come with no notable side effects, so if your skin can tolerate lasers or microneedling, this extra step doesn’t pose any added risks.

Benefits include:

Skin looks visibly younger and refreshed
Renews and brightens complexion
Relieves redness and itching due to dryness

Firms, tightens and tones the skin to improve elasticity and resiliency
Reduces the appearance of fine lines
Improves the appearance of scarring and textural issues
Revives the skin with deeply hydrating and nourishing ingredients
