Exosomes might be one of the most frequently heard words these days. A new trend in skincare, exosomes have entered the beauty world with the rise of stem cell research. Exosomes are actually microscopic structures naturally secreted by cells in the body, and they are released by skin cells. Their function is to facilitate intercellular communication. They contain proteins, RNA, growth factors, and stem cell-derived signals, and can stimulate skin regeneration, increase collagen production, and even support wound healing. Laboratory-produced exosomes can be effective in combating signs of aging.
Where is it used?
1. It helps to give a younger appearance by activating old and tired cells.
2. Due to its anti-inflammatory effect, it helps heal conditions such as eczema, acne, and sunburn.
3. It helps to increase firmness and elasticity in the skin.
4. When used after medical procedures such as laser and microneedling, it helps to accelerate healing.
5. It promotes a healthier appearance by increasing the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
6. It stimulates hair follicles, helping hair grow healthy and faster, and preventing hair loss.
7. Besides being used for aesthetic purposes, it is also used in the treatment of some diseases.
8. Successful results can also be obtained in the treatment of blemishes, atopic eczema, acne scars, wounds, and burns.
How is it used in which application?
Exosome serum can be applied after procedures such as laser treatments that inflict controlled micro-damage to the skin. This serum aims to reduce redness and burning sensations, increase collagen production, and shorten healing time.
Exosomes are also used in skincare products such as serums, creams, and patches. They can be combined with hyaluronic acid, peptides, amino acids, and vitamins.
How is it implemented, and is there an age limit?
Exosomes are present in the body until a certain age. Since exosome production generally decreases after age 30, their use is recommended from that age onwards. They are also recommended for those experiencing loss of skin elasticity, sagging, dullness, and those who have undergone medical procedures. First-time users should consult their dermatologist before proceeding.
The skin is cleansed and a local anesthetic cream is applied approximately 30 minutes before the procedure. Exosomes derived from stem cells are injected dermally into the designated area using microneedles. After the exosome skin serum is injected, repair begins in the damaged cells. Daily life can be resumed after the procedure. The treatment plan is tailored to the problem and the individual. Hair loss may require 3-8 sessions, while in many other areas, even a single session is sufficient.
