Exosomes
Exosome treatment, also known as exosome therapy, is an evolving area of regenerative medicine. Exosomes are small vesicles that are released by cells and play a role in cell-to-cell communication. Exosome therapy involves the use of exosomes to promote tissue repair, regeneration, and modulate the immune response. The idea is that exosomes can deliver signals to target cells, promoting healing and regeneration in damaged tissues.
What to Expect
There are a few ways that exosomes can be applied to the skin. The most common administration technique for exosome therapy includes.
Topical Application:
Exosomes can be applied directly to the skin’s surface. The exosomes are gently
massaged into the skin, allowing them to penetrate and communicate with the cells in
the epidermis and dermis.
Micro-needling:
The combined use of micro-needling and exosomes facilitates the direct delivery of
active ingredients beneath the epidermis. This Process significantly enhances the skins
capacity to absorb active substances while minimising the loss or wastage of these
valuable components by opening channels in the skin barrier.
