EXOSOMES
Beauty is an eternal pursuit of all people. Wound repair, anti-aging, inhibiting hyperpigmentation and hair loss are the main demands for medical aesthetics. At present, the repair and remodeling of human body shape and function in medical aesthetics are often achieved by injection of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin, stem cell therapy. However, there are some challenges, such as difficulty controlling the injection dose, abnormal local contour, increased foreign body sensation, and the risk of tumor occurrence and deformity induced by stem cell therapy. Exosomes are tiny vesicles secreted by cells, which are rich in proteins, nucleic acids and other bioactive molecules. They have the characteristics of low immunogenicity and strong tissue penetration, making them ideal for applications in medical aesthetics. Exosomes are considered the next big thing in skin care.

What is microneedling with exosomes?
​
This treatment has been gaining popularity because it can show signs of improvement in only one or two applications. It is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Then, an exosome serum is applied to penetrate the channels in the treated skin.
Exosomes are nanoparticles our bodies release naturally. The exosomes of the skin contain lipids, proteins, amino acids, peptides and growth factors. The cells can trigger the skin to repair and regenerate.
When used with microneedling, exosomes can promote the production of new collagen and elastin. These proteins give the skin its elasticity and firmness.
​
What does this treatment do for the skin?
​
Microneedling with exosomes can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns. The combination of treatments allows for multiple problems to be addressed at once, including:
-
Sun damage, Pigmentation Issues: Noticeably reduces the appearance of age related pigment
-
Visibly makes skin appear firmer and more youthful
-
Wrinkles: Visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
-
Dehydrated skin: Hydrates and nourishes skin
-
Uneven Skin tone: Promotes a more radiant and even toned complexion
-
Rosacea
-
Other: Alopecia – Hair Loss
The skin becomes more hydrated and brighter after a microneedling exosome treatment. Scars and textured skin will become less pronounced, and signs of aging skin will be improved.
The treatment does not break down the outer layer of the skin, so there is little downtime and no scarring. The body will repair the tiny punctures, which encourages new cell growth.

How is it different from a vampire facial?
​
Microneedling with exosomes is similar to a vampire facial because a pen is used to create tiny punctures in the skin to promote the body’s repair response.
Before a vampire facial, also known as microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), your blood is drawn and used to create the liquid plasma that will be put on your skin. Plasma contains a high concentration of platelets, stem cells and growth factors, which help with new cell growth.
After microneedling with PRP therapy, the plasma liquid is rubbed on your skin so that the new channels in your skin will absorb it. It can increase the benefits of microneedling because the plasma aids in collagen and cell production.
With exosome treatment, you will not have to give blood. Exosomes contain more than 300 growth factors, while PRP contains around 12. You can see results from exosome treatment much faster than with PRP therapy, and you may only need one or two applications. You may need three to six PRP therapy sessions to see your desired results.
