Exosomes are small membrane-bound vesicles that are naturally secreted by cells, including stem cells. They are typically 30-150 nanometers in size and contain a variety of biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Exosomes act as intercellular communicators and can transfer information between cells.
In recent years, exosomes have gained attention in the field of regenerative medicine, including cosmetic procedures. Exosomes derived from stem cells or other sources can be used in various cosmetic treatments to promote tissue regeneration and healing, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health.
In cosmetic procedures, exosomes are typically derived from the patient’s own cells or from strictly regulated donor cells. The exosomes are isolated and purified, and then applied to the skin. This can help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture and tone.
Exosomes are believed to be particularly effective for cosmetic procedures because they are small enough to penetrate deep into the skin and deliver their payload of biomolecules directly to cells. Additionally, exosomes are less likely to trigger an immune response than other cell-based treatments, making them a safer option for many patients.
At Vibrance, Exosomes can be used to help regenerate and heal after certain procedures, enhance procedure results or independently on their own. Overall, exosomes represent a promising new tool in the field of aesthetic medicine, with the potential to improve skin health, and help reverse the signs of aging.
