Exosomes in Aesthetic Medicine: Supporting Skin Vitality and Wellness

At VIDA Aesthetic Medicine, we’re always exploring the latest innovations to help you look and feel your best. One of the most exciting developments in aesthetics today is exosome therapy. If you’ve heard about exosome facials or serums, you might be curious about what they are and how they fit into a modern skincare or hair wellness routine. This post will explain what exosomes are, how they differ from PRP/PRF, and how they may support the appearance of healthy skin and hair.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring vesicles released by cells. Think of them as small messengers that transport proteins, growth factors, and other molecules between cells. In aesthetics, exosomes are often derived from stem cell cultures and used in topical serums or procedures to help support the appearance of more vibrant, youthful-looking skin.

How Exosomes Differ from PRP/PRF

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are treatments that use components of your own blood to support skin and hair appearance. Exosomes, on the other hand, are cell-derived messengers produced in laboratory environments. Unlike PRP/PRF, exosomes don’t require a blood draw and are ready to use, offering a convenient option for cosmetic enhancement. While all these treatments aim to enhance your natural glow, each has a different method of delivery and composition.

How Exosomes Are Used in Aesthetic Practices

  • Microneedling with Exosomes: Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin to enhance product absorption. When paired with exosomes, this treatment may support skin texture, tone, and brightness.
  • Skin Rejuvenation: Exosome serums are sometimes used after treatments like lasers, chemical peels, or injectables to help calm the skin and enhance the post-treatment glow.
  • Hair Wellness: Some practices use exosomes in scalp treatments aimed at improving the appearance of fuller, healthier-looking hair. These are often applied topically or with microneedling.

What to Expect

Exosome-based treatments are considered cosmetic and are designed to support overall skin and hair wellness. Many patients report a refreshed, glowing complexion and improved skin tone and texture over time.

Important Note on Safety and Regulation

Exosome products used in aesthetics are not currently FDA-approved for the treatment of any medical condition. At VIDA, we use exosomes in a wellness-oriented, cosmetic capacity only. Our team carefully selects high-quality products and provides transparent information so patients can make informed decisions.
