Why is there so much buzz about Exosomes?
The beauty and aesthetic industry is undergoing a transformation. Many people who are invested in looking after their skin are searching for alternative options to cosmetic injectables. Until a few years ago, they were the only way to achieve skin rejuvenation for anti-ageing, without having to undergo the knife.
But they do very little for someone with other skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation or rosacea. So while some people may wish to preserve a youthful appearance, for others it may be important to diminish a different type of skin concern.
There have been several skin rejuvenation therapies burst onto the skin care scene which are gaining momentum and in some cases, a cult-like following.
Before we explore these, let’s take a look at Exosomes. If this is a new concept for you, trust us—they are extraordinary.
Exosomes Explained:
Exosomes are the by-product of cells. In simple terms, they are the bud-like component created when two cells fuse together. They are often described as microscopic bubbles or in the scientific realm as nano extracellular vesicles.
Eventually, the bud-like components break away from the fused cells, but these tiny molecules don’t fizzle away. They have an enormous role to play in skin rejuvenation.
An interesting fact about Exosomes is that although they’re not cells—which means they don’t have the ability to replicate, they are however important for tissue healing, regeneration and repair. Ok, you may be wondering, how is this possible?
Exosomes contain biomolecules including proteins, growth factors, lipids and nucleic acids such as messenger-RNA, (mRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA). They act as messengers from stem cells to other cells. One way to imagine Exosomes at work is to think of them as little envelopes of regeneration from cell to cell.

So what this boils down to is that Exosomes have enormous benefits for the skin! They have been shown to:
Be an effective form of skin rejuvenation for the face, neck and hands.
Drastically diminish the appearance of upper lip and smile lines, crow’s feet, and neck rings.
Reduce the appearance of age spots and acne scars including skin depressions, and undereye hollows.
Improve the contour and shape of the face for a youthful appearance without surgery.
And so much more...
While Exosomes have created a real buzz in skin rejuvenation therapy, they are not a passing trend. Exosomes are revolutionizing skin rejuvenation.

Where do Exosomes come from?
Exosomes are connected to stem cells and are retrieved from Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). Yes, that does sound very scientific, but it’s all done above-board. They are ethically harvested from consenting donors and are extracted and synthetically processed in a laboratory to strict protocols without any dilemmas or risk of corruption or cell mutation.
