What Are Exosomes?
Get in touch with us
Did you know that exosomes are rapidly emerging in skin industries? Providing the potential for skin benefits. Whether its anti-ageing properties, to smoothing coarse skin textures.
Which is why, many are increasingly turning to this new era of regenerative skin care. However, you may find yourself asking, “So, what exactly are exosomes?”
Luckily, at Results Laser Clinic we’ve broken this down into a guide for you. Our clinic puts emphasis on the value of skin education. So you can feel informed every step of the way.
See our guide to this below:
In short, exosomes are small vesicles, or tiny sacs, that are naturally produced by almost every type of cell in the human body. They measure around 30 to 150 nanometres in size, this is 1/100th the size of a human hair!
While these particles are very small, the role it plays in your skin can’t be overlooked. This is because exosomes are involved in a process called “Cellular communication.” Think of exosomes as little messengers whose role is to communicate with each other. All of these work to make up the bigger picture of the “Multi cellular organism.”
How Do Exosomes Play a Role in Cellular Regeneration?
To look at the bigger picture, the question is “What is the message that the exosomes are communicating to each other?”
The truth is, each cell contains a molecule, such as protein from one cell to the other one. These signals play a crucial role in cellular regeneration. This process may stimulate and renew damaged cells to promote tissue rejuvenation. Which can potentially address a wide range of skin goals, from minimising acne scars to wrinkles.
What Is the Exosome Production Process?- Step by Step
Now that we know exosomes, you may find yourself wondering how this process works. It’s key to understand how these cells all contribute to our biological functions.
See how the production process works:
- Cell Activation: A cell is triggered to produce exosomes in response to certain signals or needs.
- Endosome Formation: Inside the cell, an endosome forms to hold molecules like proteins, lipids, and RNA.
- Exosome Budding: The endosome buds off, creating small vesicles (exosomes) which are filled with the cell’s molecules. This process is fundamental for cells to communicate with each other.
- Exosome Release: The exosomes are released from the cell into the surrounding space. Which may result in it moving to other cells.
- Cell-to-cell Communication: The exosomes deliver the message (Delivering contents to nearby cells.) This network helps to regulate key processes like skin repair and regeneration.
- Molecular Action: Once inside the target cell, the molecules in the exosome trigger a response. Providing skin support through healing and other cellular functions.
*Given the promising nature of exosomes, many skin professionals benefit from this through specialised services. At Results Laser Clinic, we can leverage your skin’s natural healing process to potentially meet your skin’s goals.
The healing premise of exosomes makes it a popular choice for therapeutic treatment. This is because its cellular process is designed for naturally healing properties. This makes it a precise treatment by providing direct solutions to target cells.
Explore what exosomes may help with below:
Stimulates collagen production
Collagen is a protein which has anti-aging properties. The exosome triggers this to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Lowers inflammation
Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness caused by sensitive or inflamed skin. Providing calming skin soothing properties.
Enhances skin tone and texture
Through the natural skin repair process, exosomes reduce the appearance of rough skin or an uneven skin colour.
Promotes Hair Growth
If there’s hair thinning or loss, the exosome carries proteins or other growth factors to cells. This not only triggers hair growth, but can lead to thicker hair.
*Please note that the above is a brief overview of the benefits exosomes may lead to. The outcome of exosome therapy ranges from individual to individual.
