Exosomes for Skin

About

Exosomes

Exosomes are small nano-sized vesicles that are produced and released by cells in the body. Exosomes contain a variety of molecules including proteins, RNA (ribonucleic acid), lipids (fats) and other bioactive substances. The contents of exosomes vary depending on the type of cell they were derived from.

Exomide skin helps to strengthen the skin barrier, tighten lax skin, reduce wrinkles, pores size, pigmentation, and oiliness, increase skin elasticity and collagen contents and improve evenness of skin and vascularity.

When applied to the scalp, they can help stimulate hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and improving hair density. Exosomes contain growth factors and proteins that enhance tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support the natural hair growth cycle.

How they work

Exosomes

Exomide is a regenerative exosome therapy derived from adipose tissue (fat tissue) stem cells.

Once exosomes are secreted or pushed outside a cell they play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication with the ability to transfer information and change the behaviour of neighbouring cells.

This intercellular communication has been found to influence:

*Cell regeneration
*Tissue repair
*
Immune regulation
*
Anti-inflammation
*
Collagen Stimulation
*
Elastin Production
*
Pigmentation and Brightening

Exosomes and Skin Rejuvenation

Exosomes have emerged as a powerful advancement in skin rejuvenation therapies. These extracellular vesicles, which carry a range of growth factors, proteins, and genetic material, play a key role in cellular communication and tissue repair. When used in combination with treatments like CO2 fractional laser and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or stem cells, the benefits of exosome therapy are significantly amplified, delivering superior results for skin renewal and repair.

By combining the skin-penetrating power of CO2 fractional laser with the regenerative properties of exosomes, and further enhancing these effects with PRP or stem cells, this therapy offers an advanced, multi-faceted approach to skin rejuvenation. The synergy between these components allows for deeper, more effective skin renewal and repair, helping patients achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion with minimal downtime.

Exosomes work at a cellular level, promoting the activation and growth of new skin cells. When combined with CO2 fractional laser, which creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, exosomes accelerate the healing process. The laser treatment triggers a natural wound-healing response, and exosomes provide the necessary biological tools—growth factors and cytokines—to enhance this process. This results in faster skin regeneration, reduced downtime, and improved skin texture and tone.

The combined use of PRP or stem cells with exosomes enhances the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin. PRP, rich in growth factors from the patient’s own blood, or stem cells, which promote tissue regeneration, complement exosomes by stimulating fibroblast activity. This creates a powerful synergy that boosts collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, more youthful skin with reduced wrinkles and fine lines.

Exosomes have anti-inflammatory properties, which help minimise redness, swelling, and discomfort after treatments like CO2 fractional laser. This not only shortens recovery time but also ensures smoother, more even healing. When paired with PRP or stem cells, the combination maximises the body’s healing response while minimising inflammation, resulting in a faster return to normal activities.

This combination therapy is especially effective for treating a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation issues, and overall skin laxity. The CO2 laser provides deep resurfacing and tightening, while the exosomes, PRP, or stem cells support optimal healing and long-term skin rejuvenation. Over time, patients notice improved skin elasticity, tone, and clarity, with longer-lasting results compared to individual treatments.

Exosomes are tiny vesicles that promote skin rejuvenation by delivering growth factors, proteins, and genetic material to skin cells. They enhance cellular communication, stimulate collagen and elastin production, accelerate healing, and reduce inflammation, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and elasticity for a more youthful appearance.

Exosomes therapy is a non-invasive procedure, and any discomfort felt is minimal and varies depending on the different application modalities used.

Exosomes can be applied to the skin using:
* CO2 fractional laser = enhanced skin resurfacing
* RF Skin Needling
* Aqua gold cocktail stamping
* Conventional skin needling

Downtime following exosome therapy depends on the treatment method. When applied topically alongside other procedures, downtime varies based on the specific procedure. If injected, temporary superficial bumps may appear for 1-4 hours, especially at the treatment site. Swelling around sensitive areas, like the eyes, may occur but typically resolves quickly.

Your practitioner will discuss the expected downtime and recovery in detail during your consultation.

Results from exosome therapy can typically be seen within a few weeks, with noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall rejuvenation becoming more visible over time. Many patients begin to see initial changes as early as 2-4 weeks after treatment, with continued enhancement over the following 3-6 months as collagen production and cellular regeneration take effect. The timeline can vary depending on the individual’s skin condition, the combination of treatments used, and how the body responds to the therapy.

Exosome therapy is generally well-tolerated, but like any treatment, there can be potential side effects. These may include:

* Redness and Swelling: Temporary redness, swelling, or mild irritation at the application or injection site is common and typically resolves within a few hours to a few days.
* Bruising: Some patients may experience minor bruising, especially if exosomes are injected.
* Bumps or Lumps: When exosomes are injected, small, superficial bumps may appear at the injection sites but usually subside within a few hours.
* Allergic Reaction: While rare, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction. Symptoms can include itching, rash, or more significant swelling.
* Delayed Healing: In very rare cases, individuals with certain skin types or conditions may experience delayed healing or prolonged redness. Those that are heavy drinkers and smokers are generally slow healers.

Your practitioner will discuss any specific risks based on your skin type and medical history during your consultation to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

Exosome therapy is not about being “better” than other treatments like needling, CO2 laser, PRP, or stem cells, but rather how it works synergistically with them to enhance overall results. Each treatment has its unique role in skin rejuvenation, and when combined with exosomes, the benefits are amplified.

For example, skin needling creates microchannels in the skin, which exosomes can penetrate more deeply, boosting the skin’s natural healing response. Similarly, CO2 fractional laser stimulates collagen production through controlled skin resurfacing, while exosomes accelerate healing and reduce downtime by delivering growth factors to damaged tissues.

PRP and stem cells, rich in regenerative properties, complement exosome therapy by further enhancing skin repair and collagen production. Exosomes essentially act as a biological messenger, amplifying the rejuvenating effects of these treatments.

By using exosomes in combination with needling, lasers, PRP, or stem cells, the skin receives comprehensive care, resulting in faster healing, improved texture, and enhanced skin vitality. The key is in how these treatments work together to provide optimal, long-lasting results.
