Exosome therapy is a modern treatment that uses naturally occurring nanoparticles derived from human cells to rejuvenate skin and tissues. These exosomes act as messengers that promote skin repair and regeneration.
Typically applied topically, exosomes must be combined with microneedling, a procedure that creates microscopic wounds to enhance absorption into deeper skin layers.
This therapy helps reverse signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and dehydration, by activating the body’s natural healing processes. The benefits go beyond anti-ageing effects!
What are exosomes?
Exosomes are messengers that carry critical information to cells, helping them mediate or regulate the surrounding tissue to repair or rejuvenate the skin and connective tissue.
It is actually a natural nanoparticle released by our human cells, including skin cells, containing various biological markers, such as lipids, proteins, amino acids, and peptides.
Exosome therapy is an innovative treatment used by doctors to rejuvenate skin and tissues.
What does exosome therapy do?
In a treatment, exosomes are typically applied topically to the skin because, due to their nanoparticle nature, they cannot penetrate deep skin layers to reach the intended tissues on their own.
Exosomes must be used in combination with a medical device that creates microscopic wounds, allowing the nanoparticles to be absorbed by the deep layers.
Exosome therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing ability and reverses the effects of premature ageing, such as wrinkles, skin laxity, and dehydration.
When exosomes are delivered deep into the skin, they activate the skin’s natural healing response and enable it to rebuild from within.
Exosome Therapy with RF Microneedling
One of the more popular medical devices used in exosome therapy today is microneedling. The one I use in my clinic is radiofrequency microneedling.
RF Microneedling involves using a specialised handheld device to create tiny punctures in the skin, penetrating to a depth of 0.5-3mm.
Patients who undergo the treatments just require a layer of numbing cream to manage the discomfort.
The burst of radiofrequency energy is transmitted through five needles to target the skin layers, stimulating the body’s healing response and increasing collagen production.
Benefits of Exosome Therapy with RF Microneedling
Anti-ageing: It allows skin cells to repair from oxidative stress, thereby reversing damage from UV exposure and ageing. Next, anti-inflammatory.
Treats autoimmune and inflammatory diseases: By affecting immune cells’ function, thereby reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
Restores youthful skin: Reduces oxidative stress, an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants.
Neuroprotection: Helps protect and regenerate neurons and prevents neurodegenerative disorders.
Repair skin and promote tissue renewal: Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue remodelling and new blood formation.
Tissue repair and regeneration: Regenerate damaged skin, bones, and cartilage.
Hair regrowth: Promotes hair regeneration
Skin hydration and revitalisation. Carry molecules that enhance skin texture and, therefore, hydrate and plump skin. Plus, it helps produce bouncy skin and reduce wrinkles.
