Exosomes

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny vesicles, also known as extracellular vesicles, popular as acellular, secreted by almost all human, animal and plant cells. Think of them as a powerhouse of regenerative messengers of your body—they carry important information from one cell to another. These messages can be in proteins, peptides, messenger RNA, micro RNA, nucleotides, enzymes, and more. While PRP is autologous, exosomes are commercially available and ready to use. For instance, if there’s inflammation in your body, a cell might release exosomes with a message saying, “Stop the inflammation.” Similarly, exosomes might send a message to speed up the healing process if there’s a wound. This ability to communicate and regulate bodily functions makes exosomes a powerful tool in aesthetic medicine.

Exosomes in Aesthetic Medicine(No Large randomized controlled study)

In this section, we’re focusing only on the possible role of topical application & regenerative benefits of exosomes in aesthetic medicine. Exosome science, as therapeutic and diagnostic research, has exploded in the last 15 years. While exosomes have a wide range of applications in fields like neurology, cardiovascular surgery, and oncology, the scope of this page is limited to their role in non-surgical aesthetic procedures. The exosomes may have some benefit in aesthetic medicine. 

Types of Exosomes

As we mentioned, exosomes are messengers released by cells. When they come from stem cells—such as those from bone marrow, placenta, umbilical cord, or adipose tissue—they have powerful benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and wound-healing abilities. When combined with energy-based procedures and Topical application of Exosomes after laser
