Exosomes are at the forefront of regenerative medicine, offering a groundbreaking solution for skin and hair restoration. At Dr. Ariel Ostad’s practice, we provide cutting-edge exosome therapy to enhance tissue repair, improve skin health, and promote hair growth—all with minimal downtime.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are lipid-bound vesicles that function as messengers, delivering essential proteins, growth factors, and genetic material between cells. Derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), exosomes enhance the body’s natural regenerative processes, making them a powerful tool for aesthetic and medical treatments.

Key Benefits of Exosome Therapy:

Skin Rejuvenation

Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

Hair Restoration

Stimulates hair follicles for thicker, healthier growth.

Fast Healing

Speeds up recovery from microneedling, laser treatments, and PRP therapy.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Reduces redness and irritation post-procedure.

Improved Hydration

Boosts skin elasticity and moisture retention.

How Are Exosomes Delivered?

Exosomes are topical products, so they are mostly applied through direct skin application, which clients can continue doing at home as well.

Common Delivery Methods

Microneedling:

Creates microchannels to enhance serum absorption.

Laser Resurfacing:

Accelerates healing and reduces inflammation.

PRP & Hair Restoration:

Used alongside PRP for enhanced follicle stimulation.

TargetCool™ Technology:

A cutting-edge cryogen cooling system that maximizes absorption while minimizing discomfort

Common Issues Treated with Exosomes

Exosomes offer a revolutionary approach to skin rejuvenation and hair restoration by stimulating collagen production and enhancing cellular communication. These powerful regenerative messengers help improve overall skin health and accelerate healing. Exosome therapy can be beneficial for:

Reducing fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, youthful appearance
Enhancing hydration and skin elasticity, improving overall skin texture
Diminishing age spots and hyperpigmentation, promoting an even complexion
Stimulating hair follicle regeneration, supporting thicker, healthier hair growth
Accelerating post-procedure recovery, minimizing downtime after skin treatments
Soothing redness and inflammation, helping with conditions like rosacea and sensitive skin

By delivering growth factors directly to target areas, exosomes support natural skin repair and renewal. To determine the best treatment for your specific needs, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ariel Ostad, a leader in advanced regenerative skin therapies.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Customized Consultations

Whether you want to reduce the signs of aging or diminish inflammation in the skin, exosomes can serve as a revitalizing solution. Each of our treatments is tailor-made for your condition, after a consultation with Dr. Ariel Ostad. With this treatment, patients can enjoy a youthful and healthy skin barrier without having to resort to invasive treatments.

Exosome Therapy: What to Expect During Treatment

The application of exosome therapy varies based on the treatment area and the delivery method. At Dr. Ariel Ostad’s practice, a precise, multi-step process ensures optimal absorption and effectiveness, especially when combined with TargetCool™ technology for deeper penetration and enhanced results.

Initial Consultation

Dr. Ostad will assess your skin concerns and determine if exosome therapy is the right solution for you. During this consultation, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, treatment expectations, and the best approach for your skin type.

Skin Cleansing

To maximize absorption, Dr. Ostad will use medical-grade cleansers to remove impurities. While numbing cream is typically unnecessary, it can be applied if you have sensitive skin. TargetCool™ technology may also be used to prep the skin, enhancing comfort and absorption.

Application of the Exosomes

Dr. Ostad will administer 2.5 ml of Resilielle exosome serum using the latest delivery system. The exosomes are infused into the skin through a specialized process called ice needling, which ensures deep penetration while keeping inflammation minimal.

Serum Massaging

After application, the exosome serum is gently massaged into the skin to ensure even distribution and maximum absorption. This step enhances cellular communication and boosts the regenerative benefits of the treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

To lock in the exosomes, TargetCool™ may be used again for deeper penetration. After treatment, patients should:

Avoid direct sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours
Use only gentle, hydrating skincare products
Expect visible skin improvements within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing around one month

With exosome therapy, patients experience faster healing, enhanced collagen production, and noticeable skin rejuvenation—all with minimal downtime. To explore how exosome therapy can benefit your skin, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ariel Ostad today.

Benefits of Exosomes

Faster Tissue Regeneration

Exosomes accelerate cell turnover by stimulating the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts—key skin-repairing cells. As old, damaged skin sheds more rapidly, healthy new skin cells emerge, improving skin texture, thickness, and elasticity over time.

Anti-Aging Solution

Aging caused by stress, environmental damage, and oxidative stress can be significantly slowed with exosome therapy. By boosting collagen and elastin production, exosomes help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect

Exosomes naturally contain anti-inflammatory proteins, making them an excellent choice for sensitive skin, redness, and post-treatment recovery. They help calm irritation, reduce rosacea-related redness, and accelerate healing after laser treatments or microneedling.

Minimally Invasive

Unlike surgical procedures, exosome therapy is minimally invasive, especially when combined with TargetCool™ technology. This innovative cooling method enhances absorption while reducing discomfort, inflammation, and downtime, making it a safe and effective treatment for all skin types.

Drug Delivery Improvement

As natural bio-carriers, exosomes effectively deliver active ingredients to targeted areas, maximizing the benefits of other skincare treatments. When paired with specialized serums, exosomes enhance penetration and increase treatment efficacy.

Better Hydration

Exosome therapy stimulates the natural production of hyaluronic acid, improving skin hydration, plumpness, and radiance. This deep moisturizing effect helps achieve a glowing, youthful complexion while reinforcing the skin barrier against environmental damage.

Exosomes for Medical Conditions

Beyond Cosmetic Uses

Exosome therapy is well known for its skin-smoothing benefits, but its potential reaches far beyond aesthetics. It’s increasingly being used in regenerative medicine to speed up wound healing and support recovery from injuries and degenerative conditions. When administered through injections, exosomes can help with issues like cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis, promoting better mobility and tissue repair.

Their powerful anti-inflammatory properties also make exosomes a promising option for managing autoimmune diseases. By regulating the immune response, they can help reduce chronic inflammation and provide relief for various conditions. Because they are biocompatible, exosomes are even being explored as drug carriers in cancer treatment, helping to improve delivery while minimizing toxicity.

Success Stories

“I have been a patient of Dr. Ostad for 20 years and have had several skin cancers removed with very minimal scarring and no recurrence. I have also had several different laser treatments as well as fillers, and I have always been very happy with the results. Dr. Ostad really listens to my concerns and designs the right treatment to help me achieve my goals. Since his office has treatment protocols and equipment that are not available in most dermatology offices, he has the tools at his disposal and the expertise to use the best method to meet your needs. He has a refined aesthetic so your treatment perfectly enhances your face while being completely natural looking. I have had much better results with Dr. Ostad’s cosmetic procedures than I have ever had with plastic surgery. In addition, the nursing staff and front office staff are knowledgeable and supportive, patiently listening to my many questions and explaining all my options. I would not go anywhere else for any cosmetic procedure!” – Linda B.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Will I Notice Results After Exosome Therapy?

Since exosome therapy involves using a topical product, you might not notice much after just one session. Depending on the associated procedures, you may see the recovery signs clearing faster than expected. The skin should look more hydrated in the first few days, and acne scars along with fine lines should fill and lighten within a month or two.

How Are Exosomes Different from Stem Cells?

Stem cells are whole cells that can proliferate into other cells, having their own “life.” This can put them at risk of immune rejection, depending on the patient. Exome particles are non-living, their whole purpose being to act as a communication tool.

Can I Expect Side Effects with Exosomes?

For the most part, well-sourced exosomes like Resilielle come with minimal side effects. Still, you can notice some slight swelling and redness, especially when used in combination with a skin rejuvenation treatment. These symptoms should fade within a few hours.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Exosomes?

The ideal candidate for exosomes is someone who wants to revitalize their features but doesn’t want to resort to surgery. A consultation with Dr. Ostad can determine whether or not you are a good candidate.

How Long Do Exosome Results Last?

The longevity of exosome results depends on one’s skin condition and aftercare. For the most part, you should benefit from the results for about six to 12 months. If you want to enjoy long-term benefits, consider scheduling maintenance treatments.

Expert Answers

How do exosomes work in skin treatments?

Exosomes deliver growth factors, peptides, and RNA to skin cells, stimulating collagen and elastin production, reducing inflammation, and promoting skin healing. This makes them effective for anti-aging, scar reduction, and overall skin health.

Is exosome therapy safe?

Yes, exosome therapy is generally safe when performed by a qualified dermatologist. The exosomes used in treatments are purified and tested for safety. There is little to no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.

How is exosome therapy performed?

Exosomes are typically applied after microneedling or laser treatments, allowing them to penetrate deeply into the skin. They can also be delivered via injection in some cases.

Combining Exosomes with Other Treatments

Complementary Treatments

Exosomes are topical treatments and can work for skin quality improvement when used with other serums. That said, the treatment becomes more efficient when combined with other aesthetic procedures that promote skin rejuvenation. The most common one is microneedling, which creates a deeper penetration of exosomes by creating microchannels. TargetCool™ treatments are an alternative to microneedling, as they can send the product deep without having to rely on needles.

Exosomes are often used as an aftercare treatment to laser therapy, reducing redness and inflammation. This way, rather than going through the recovery symptoms for two to three days, patients are done with them within an hour. Exosomes are frequently combined with calcium hydroxylapatite injections, as they rely on each other’s benefits to improve longevity and reduce side effects.

PRP treatments are also used in combination with exosome therapy, improving the regenerative properties of the product. As the growth factors are delivered alongside the regenerative signals offered by exosomes, regular treatment can significantly boost skin quality.

Comprehensive Rejuvenation

At Dr. Ariel Ostad’s practice, we believe in a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation. We offer comprehensive rejuvenation to our clients, where we focus on integrating different types of treatment. By combining exosomes with laser treatments, skin tightening procedures, and medical-grade skincare, we can provide natural-looking results. We will evaluate your facial features to determine what works best for your needs.

Latest Trends and Innovations

Advanced Techniques

The field of cosmetic surgery is continuously evolving, which means that Dr. Ostad consistently updates his technique to keep up. Nowadays, neck lifts use advanced techniques focusing on efficiency and safety, with the patients enjoying less-invasive methods. For instance, Dr. Ostad may use endoscopic techniques or smaller incisions to pull the skin in place, reducing the recovery time. Laser therapy is also frequently used alongside the surgical procedure, as it promotes healing and tissue tightening.

Innovative Uses

Exosomes were primarily used to help deliver medicine through the bloodstream of a patient or improve the healing process of the skin. Now, the product is used as a method for advanced skin rejuvenation, stimulating collagen synthesis and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. When paired with procedures such as PRP and PRFM, it facilitates the transmission of growth factors and improves overall results.
