Exosomes
Exosomes are microscopic vesicles that play an essential role in cell communication. They are used in beauty treatments for their ability to improve cell regeneration, hydration and skin firmness. Plant exosomes, such as those offered in the EXO|E line, are plant-derived extracts that enhance skin repair and revitalisation, helping to combat the signs of ageing and photoageing.
These treatments work by promoting collagen production and improving skin texture, providing a younger and healthier appearance. In addition, as they are biocompatible, they have a low risk of adverse reactions, making them a safe option for various skin types.
Who is it for?
Exosome treatment is for people looking to improve the quality of their skin, rejuvenate their appearance and combat the visible signs of ageing. It is especially suitable for those with wrinkles, sagging, blemishes or loss of radiance due to the passage of time or exposure to the sun. It is also recommended for patients with damaged or dehydrated skin in need of deep regeneration.
What is the procedure like?
The exosome procedure is simple and non-invasive. First, the skin is thoroughly cleansed. Then, the exosome product is applied topically or by mesotherapy techniques, depending on the patient’s needs. The application is painless and requires no recovery time. The results are visible in a few weeks, with a progressive improvement in the texture, firmness and hydration of the skin.
The treatment can be performed in a single session or in several sessions, depending on the needs of each patient and the desired results. Generally, a cycle of sessions is recommended for the best long-term effects.
Exosomes differ from other aesthetic and regenerative treatments in several key aspects that make them particularly effective and safe. Below, I explain the main differences:
1. Biological origin Exosomes are natural vesicles produced by cells that facilitate communication between cells. Unlike other treatments that use synthetic ingredients or animal-derived components, exosomes are derived from biological sources, such as plant or mesenchymal cells, which makes them more biocompatible with the human body.
2. Mechanism of action Exosomes function as cellular messengers that transport proteins, lipids and genetic material to target cells. This process stimulates cell regeneration and repair in a deeper and more effective way than other treatments, such as those that only act on the superficial layer of the skin. Compared to other treatments such as growth factors or peptides, exosomes offer more advanced and direct cell communication, which improves skin recovery, collagen production and tissue regeneration.
3. Safety and biocompatibility Exosomes have a low risk of side effects, as they are biocompatible products and do not usually generate adverse reactions. Other treatments, such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid, may cause allergic reactions or side effects, especially if the body does not tolerate synthetic products well.
4. Natural Results Unlike other procedures such as dermal fillers or botulinum toxin, which can produce artificial results, exosomes promote a more natural and harmonious skin regeneration. Exosomes stimulate the skin’s own biological processes, resulting in a more gradual and subtle improvement, without the visible effects or dramatic changes of other treatments.
5. Rapid Recovery Exosome treatments do not require long recovery times. Patients can resume normal activities shortly after the session, unlike more invasive treatments, such as deep chemical peels or surgical lifts, which require rest periods and stricter post-operative care.
6. Versatility Exosomes are very versatile, as they can be used to treat a variety of skin problems, from ageing and sagging to dehydration and dullness. Other treatments, such as lasers or mesotherapy, are more specific to certain problems and require combinations with other procedures for optimal results.
7. Long-term efficacy Thanks to their ability to regenerate and revitalise the skin from within, the results of exosomes tend to last longer than superficial treatments such as peels or dermal fillers. Although exosome treatments require maintenance, their rejuvenating effects are generally longer lasting and more natural.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the exosome treatment painful? No, the treatment is completely painless. Some patients may experience a slight warmth or tingling sensation during the application, but it is not bothersome.
How many sessions are necessary to see results? Although results begin to show within a few weeks, 3 to 5 sessions are recommended for the best long-term results. The exact number of sessions will depend on the characteristics of each patient.
Does exosome treatment have any side effects? Exosomes are biocompatible and, in general, have a low risk of adverse reactions. However, in rare cases, some patients may experience temporary redness or slight irritation, which disappears within a few hours.
Can I have the treatment if I have sensitive skin? Yes, exosome treatment is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it is important that your doctor assesses your skin beforehand to ensure the best treatment option.
How long do the effects of the treatment last? The effects of exosome treatment usually last between 6 and 12 months, depending on factors such as the patient’s lifestyle and post-treatment skin care. To maintain the results, maintenance sessions are recommended.
Are there any restrictions after treatment?
After the treatment, it is recommended to avoid direct exposure to the sun and to apply sunscreen to the treated area. It is also advisable not to use aggressive or exfoliating products for the first 24 hours.
