Microneedling has gained widespread popularity as a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can effectively treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven tone and texture. Microneedling, which creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin, stimulates the body’s natural healing process leading to collagen production, tissue remodeling and overall skin rejuvenation.

While microneedling alone can produce significant improvements in skin rejuvenation, advancements in technology have introduced a powerful adjunctive tool that can further enhance and maximize results: Exosomes.

In recent years, exosomes have attracted interest due to their therapeutic properties. But what exactly are exosomes and what do they do? Let’s dive in to how these cells can x-CELLerate your skin treatment results.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are nano-sized particles released by nearly all cells in the human body. They essentially are tiny messengers, responsible for communicating and transmitting signals between cells. They send signals to unhealthy cells triggering them to regenerate.

These small but powerful cells contain proteins, lipids, amino acids, peptides, growth factors, and other biomolecules.

Exosomes are extracted from human stem cells. They arrive freeze-dried to keep them stable, and requires reconstitution to create a powerful, soothing serum. Exosome therapy involves the application of these exosomes topically after in-office treatments like microneedling. They play a significant role in enhancing the healing process and improving skin rejuvenation outcomes.

Think of exosome therapy as the cherry on top - as it must be used in addition to an in-office treatment. Exosomes can’t be used on its own as they cannot penetrate the skin barrier alone. Post-microneedling, exosomes penetrate the micro-injuries in the skin to start communicating with skin cells. 

What Are the Benefits of Exosomes?

Accelerated Healing 

Exosomes contain growth factors and cytokines that promote tissue repair and regeneration. When applied post-microneedling, exosomes can accelerate the healing process by stimulating collagen production, enhancing cell proliferation, and reducing inflammation. This leads to faster recovery times and improved overall skin texture. These tiny cells also play an essential role in regulating gene expression, and how cells interact with their environment and with other cells ,

Increase in Collagen & Elastin Production

One of the key benefits of exosomes is its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis and regenerating healthy cells, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Similar to collagen, as we age, our skin cells start to atrophy, producing fewer exosomes. Over time, this leads to sagging, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.

With exosome therapy, inactive skin cells are activated, and new proteins are generated.

Exosomes deliver growth factors and signal molecules directly to the skin cell, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. When applied post-microneedling, which also stimulates collagen synthesis, the result is further enhanced.

By promoting collagen synthesis and accelerating the skin’s natural healing process, exosomes can help improve overall skin texture and tone. You may also notice a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, scars, and hyperpigmentation, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin over time.

Exosomes can enhance collagen and elastin post-procedure by up to 300% and increase in fibroblast by 180%.

Increase in Hair Growth

Exosomes can help stimulate hair follicles and scalp circulation, which help with hair growth. It can also enhance thickness in existing hair. Exosome therapy benefits those suffering from alopecia (hair loss due to autoimmune conditions).

Over time our hair follicles become weaker and more brittle. But with the help of exosomes, it can counteract aging in our haif follicles, enabling long-lasting results.

Reduced Inflammation & Downtime

Exosomes have anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate post-procedure symptoms by modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation in the skin tissue.

Because microneedling can cause temporary redness, swelling, and discomfort, applying exosomes post-treatment can significantly reduce downtime and a more comfortable recovery experience.

Studies have shown that exosomes can decrease downtime by 50%. Post procedure, the cooling serum feels instantly soothing.

Long-Lasting, Maximizing Results

By incorporating exosomes post-microneedling, it can enhance and prolong the results of the procedure. You will usually notice improvement in the skin in just two weeks, with the full effect taking place around six weeks.

By supporting ongoing collagen production and skin regeneration, exosomes help maintain the improvements achieved through microneedling, leading to long-lasting rejuvenation effects. Over several months, results continue to improve. 

Because it boosts the efficacy of microneedling, it can also cut down the number of treatments you may need.

Other Medical Treatments

Exosomes help more than the skin and hair. Their original use was to help regenerate tissues, prevent chronic inflammation and address degenerative diseases. It can help with medical conditions such as osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, by reversing tissue damage.

In addition, they have been helpful in cancer treatments, neurological disorders, cardiac regeneration, kidney disease and more.

If you’re looking to take your anti-aging, skin rejuvenation treatment to the next level to achieve smoother, firmer, more youthful looking skin, exosomes are an essential tool to add. Exosomes are naturally produced cells that carry critical ingredients that facilitate cell growth and regeneration. They are a safe, natural, and effective way to enhance the outcomes of microneedling by promoting accelerated healing, collagen production, and overall skin rejuvenation.
