One thing that we often take for granted is the body’s ability to heal itself. Think about the last breakout you had. Even while your chosen cleanser and acne treatment are speeding the healing process along, your body is constantly creating fresh skin cells and pushing them to the surface.
For most people, skin cell turnover takes “40-56 days.” Unfortunately, that process slows with age as does skin’s collagen production and natural regenerative efforts. Luckily, regenerative medicine aims to create treatments utilizing the body’s own cells to not only heal and repair damaged tissue but to make it function more like it did in its youth.
Say Hello to Exosomes
Exosomes are at the forefront of the movement toward using our own cells to calm inflammation, reduce pain, recover after an injury, and increase our ability to heal in general.
What Are Exosomes?
Think of an “exosome” as tiny messengers for your skin cells. They create a bundle of information or instructions that is created after four divisions of a stem cell. Exosomes are responsible for intracellular communication and they do this by merging with other cells and releasing their information into those cells, giving the old cells the information they need to regenerate, rejuvenate and improve themselves. As we age our skin loses the ability to maintain collagen synthesis and to repair damaged cells.
Exosomes facilitate the exchange of RNA and proteins like keratin, fibroblasts, and immune cells between cells. Exosomes also transfer cytokines, growth factors, and other materials between cells. By applying exosomes directly to the tissue, we bypass the long cellular division process and skip straight to the replenishment and regeneration of the treatment area. Thus younger looking, more vibrant and healthy skin tissue is formed and regenerated!
Types of Therapies
While research continues, injectable or intravenous regenerative procedures utilizing exosomes include treatments for hair loss, vaginal rejuvenation for menopausal women, joint therapy, erectile dysfunction, and Skin Rejuvenation. Exosomes stimulate hair growth in sleeping follicles, improve vaginal lubrication and elasticity, reduce painful joint inflammation, and increase blood flow to improve men’s sexual health.
What kind of results can you expect from your exosome treatment?
- Improvement in dryness and better overall skin hydration
- Improved tissue health at the cellular level
- Visible decrease in fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots
- Reduction in redness and irritation
- 180% increase in Fibroblasts
- 300% increase in Elastin
Exosomes are absorbed into the skin very easily (nano-particles with a tiny molecule that easily penetrates the skin to the tissue) and yields great results even when added on to a basic facial. For even better results, exosomes add a fantastic boost to a microneedling treatment, chemical peel, or nano-fractional micro-needling treatment, as they are able to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and reduce downtime. Exosome treatments are great for clients looking to prevent or repair the signs of aging and are hypoallergenic and safe for all types of skin!
So if you are looking for the latest proven method to regenerate your skin, reduce wrinkles and age spots, firm and tighten the skin, look no further.
If ever there was a “fountain of youth” exosomes may just be it!
