In the ever-evolving world of dermatology and skincare, exosomes are emerging as one of the most exciting advancements in regenerative medicine. But what exactly are exosomes and how can they benefit your skin?
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic, nano-sized vesicles naturally released by cells. Think of them as messengers—they carry important biological information like proteins, fats, and nutrients from one cell to another. In doing so, they help regulate a variety of cellular functions such as inflammation, collagen production, tissue repair, and immune responses.
Dermatologists use exosomes from stem cells for their powerful ability to support skin healing and regeneration. (Plated)™ Skin Science, our new skincare line, derives its exosomes from human blood platelets. Scientists encapsulate the exosomes in stable topical formulations to preserve their bioactivity. Manufacturers store these formulations under specific temperature conditions to ensure potency. The proprietary and tightly controlled process ensures purity, safety, and efficacy.
How Skincare Experts Use Exosomes
New technology enables skincare brands like (Plated)™ Skin Science to harness delicate exosomes. Providers apply exosome-rich products topically after in-office procedures such as microneedling, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels
Some benefits reported from exosome-enhanced treatments include:
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Reduction in redness and inflammation
- Faster post-procedure recovery
- Stimulation of collagen and elastin production
- Decreased appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Increase in skin luminosity
Are Exosomes Safe?
This technology is new and the industry is actively working to standardize its production and quality controls. One of the unique qualities of (Plated)™’ Skin Science is that it is one of the few skincare lines on the market to formulate a shelf-stable exosome product. (Plated)™ Skin Science uses sterile, medical-grade processing and offers reputable, medically vetted products.
Who Can Benefit from Exosome Skincare?
Anyone. Especially patients who undergo procedures like microneedling or laser resurfacing often see enhanced results and quicker healing when exosomes are incorporated into their aftercare. Additionally, individuals looking to improve early signs of aging, sun damage, or overall skin vitality may benefit from exosome-enhanced treatments.
The Bottom Line
Exosomes represent an exciting frontier in dermatology and in medicine as a whole, offering regenerative potential with minimal downtime. While more research is still underway, early clinical experience suggests they may become a powerful tool in the fight against the appearance of aging, signs of inflammation, and skin damage.
