How does Exosome therapy work?

Skin treatment with exosomes is a relatively new and emerging therapeutic approach in the field of cosmetic dermatology and anti-ageing medicine. Exosomes are small, nano-sized vesicles (30-150 nanometers) that are produced by almost all cell types in the body, including stem cells, and are involved in cell-to-cell communication. These exosomes are believed to carry various biomolecules, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (including microRNAs), which can influence cellular processes related to skin health and ageing.

Exosome skin treatments are typically administered through topical creams, serums, or injections, such as mesotherapy or micro-needling. The exosomes used in these treatments can be derived from various sources, including stem cells (e.g. mesenchymal stem cells, adipose-derived stem cells), plant extracts, or even conditioned media from cell cultures.

What are the benefits of exosomes in skin treatments?

When applied topically or injected into the skin, exosomes are thought to exhibit the following potential benefits:

1. Anti-ageing effects.
Exosomes may promote the renewal and repair of damaged or ageing skin cells, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

2. Skin regeneration.
Exosomes can stimulate the proliferation and migration of skin cells, promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration.

3. Collagen production.
Some exosomes may enhance the production of collagen, a key structural protein that contributes to skin firmness and elasticity.

4. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Exosomes contain antioxidant molecules and can modulate inflammatory responses, potentially protecting the skin from oxidative stress and inflammation-related damage.

5. Enhances Morpheus8 treatment results: ⁠
This treatment enhance the effectiveness of Morpheus8, a minimally invasive procedure that involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures on the skin’s surface. Following Morpheus8, exosomes can deeply penetrate the skin, boosting collagen production, expediting skin healing, and stimulating hair growth. Treatment with exosomes also reduces downtime and minimises post-microneedling redness and inflammation.⁠
