Exosome treatments have grown a lot in popularity in the past couple of years, especially with the improvements in the aesthetic field. Their regenerative power and ability to reduce inflammation make them perfect for recovery after aesthetic treatments.
But how does this treatment work, and what are the short and long-term effects for the skin? What are the things that you need to know before undergoing the treatment? This blog will offer some guidance so you know exactly what to expect.
Exosomes are very tiny extracellular vesicles that can range around 30 and 150 nanometers in size. These vesicles were previously used for controlled drug delivery and tissue repair after injury, but they’ve also become a reliable part of skin recovery.
Naturally produced by cells, exosomes can carry lipids, proteins, RNA, and other molecular materials. They’re like “messenger bubbles” that carry signals from one cell to another, delivering instructions for renewal and repair. Topical exosome treatment is used for post-treatment recovery, but also for treating hair loss and thinning.
Exosome treatments can do more than one thing when it comes to regenerative beauty, making them a versatile solution. Here are some things they can help you with when it comes to post-treatment healing:
Exosomes can stimulate the natural repair mechanism of the skin, encouraging cell renewal. This allows the damaged cells to be removed faster, making way for the healthy cells underneath to come to the surface. With time, this reduces dullness and offers a natural glow.
Topical exosomes can boost collagen synthesis, decreasing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and elasticity loss. The effects are often visible within a few months, especially when combined with collagen-inducing procedures like microneedling or laser.
Exosomes send anti-inflammatory signals that soothe skin irritation, so they’re a good choice for reducing redness. This makes them ideal for post-procedure recovery. Treatment application can regulate dermic immunity while repairing your skin barrier.
Exosomes are ultra-small while enjoying a bioidentical structure. This makes it easier for them to transport active agents deeper within your skin, improving product absorption. They’re an asset after procedures that rely on serums (e.g., DiamondGlow®), offering faster visible results. They also work well with ingredients like vitamin C, peptides, and vitamin A.
Exosomes encourage the skin to let go of the damaged cells that cause pigmentation and skin tone issues. As the skin renews itself, you should be able to enjoy a brighter, more even skin tone. With the new collagen production, the pores may also become smaller, and the acne scars may be less visible.
Exosomes are used for more than just skin regeneration and healing. This post-treatment topical product reactivates dormant hair follicles and improves blood flow in the scalp. This happens after the exosomes release RNA and proteins to the cells, signaling that it’s time to regenerate.
Post-treatment application extends the anagen (growth) phase of the hair, which reduces shedding. Within the next few weeks, patients will notice more regrowth, with continuous improvement over the next few months. With time, exosome treatments improve hair thickness, density, as well as scalp health.
Exosomes can be delivered through injections in the scalp, but topical exosomes after microneedling have shown a lot of promise. Microneedling restarts the healing process of the scalp skin, creating microchannels for the topical exosomes to reach the follicle. This speeds up the healing process while awakening dormant follicles.
Aside from microneedling, exosomes are also frequently combined with PRP for synergistic stimulation. This improves the absorption of nutrients, promoting hair growth with minimal discomfort. Many patients choose exosomes as a natural, non-surgical alternative to hair transplants.
Exosome treatments are the epitome of regenerative skin and hair procedures, providing multi-targeted results. The best part is that their potential keeps growing as the technology improves. Get your appointment with Dr. Ariel Ostad today and see how exosome treatments can help you!
