Exosomes are small, membrane-bound vesicles which play an important role in intracellular communication and transportation of molecules. Exosomes are stem cell derived signalling messengers. These nanoparticles carry numerous growth factors, proteins, anti-inflammatory cytokines. They travel between cells which stimulates your own skin to produce more collagen and elastin.
The exosomes primary benefit is that they regenerate and strengthen the skin’s barrier function. This in turn restores and balances natural cell turnover leading to the appearance of younger, firmer and healthier skin. Exosomes have an anti-inflammatory effect which is beneficial for wound and scar healing and treating conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and acne. The treatment can help to balance and improve dark circles under the eyes, melasma, skin pigmentation, fine lines and texture.
Exosome Therapy is always done in conjunction with another treatment. Exosomes cannot penetrate the skin unaided but need the superficial layer to be pierced to facilitate effective cell communication, this is done with microneedling.
Exosomes have gained a lot of attention in the industry as they can increase collagen production by 600% and elastin levels by 300%!
