The Science Behind the New Exosome Facial

The revolutionary new Exosome Facial enhances the skin’s appearance and reverses the signs of aging through advanced cellular mechanisms. Exosomes are a fascinating component of cell biology, that have gained significant attention for their potential applications in various fields, including skincare.

In this article, the skin rejuvenation and anti-aging experts at AMAE Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in the Troy, MI area delve into the science of exosomes, exploring how they work to improve the tone and texture of the skin.

What are Exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny “extracellular vesicles” that are secreted by cells in the body. Extracellular vesicles, in lay person terms, are tiny bubbles or packages that are released by cells into the surrounding environment. These vesicles contain various molecules such as proteins, lipids, and genetic material like DNA and RNA. They act as a means of communication between cells, allowing them to exchange information and signals.

Think of extracellular vesicles as small messengers that cells use to send important messages to each other. They can be compared to envelopes containing letters that cells pass to each other. Extracellular vesicles play a role in numerous biological processes and are involved in maintaining the balance and coordination of different cellular activities. They can influence cell behavior, immune responses, and tissue repair, among other functions.

How Exosome Facials Work

Exosomes carry and deliver a diverse “cargo”, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids (such as microRNAs and mRNAs), and growth factors. The cargo exosomes carry will vary depending on the cell type and what they are needed for at that particular time.

An exosome facial is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of specially selected exosomes that promote skin rejuvenation and improve its tone, texture, tightness, and overall appearance.

During the exosome facial the aesthetician will start by cleansing the face to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup – ensuring that the skin is clean and ready to absorb the exosome treatment. A gentle exfoliation is also typically performed during an exosome facial to remove dead skin cells and promote better absorption of the exosomes.

The exosomes are then topically applied. At AMAE Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in the Troy, MI area we use BENEV Exosome products powered by Exo-SCRT™ that are specially selected isolated and purified exosomes designed to promote cellular repair and rejuvenation of the skin.

Upon uptake, exosomes deliver their cargo to the recipient cells, influencing their biological functions. This cargo can regulate gene expression, modulate signaling pathways, and promote cellular responses, thereby affecting the appearance and behavior of the recipient cells.

How Exosome Facials Repair and Rejuvenate Skin

Exosomes have the ability to enhance the appearance of the skin using several different mechanisms.

Exosomes derived from specific cell types, such as stem cells or fibroblasts, can promote cellular regeneration by delivering growth factors and signaling molecules. They can stimulate collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Exosomes also possess anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce inflammation in the skin. They can modulate immune responses, suppress inflammatory cytokines, and promote tissue healing, resulting in a more even and healthier complexion.

Additionally, exosomes play a role in regulating pigmentation by transferring regulatory molecules to melanocytes. This can help balance melanin production and reduce hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone.
