A Breakthrough Cosmetic Ingredient – The Future of Cosmetology and Aesthetic Medicine
Exosomes are one of the latest discoveries that have revolutionized the approach to skin regeneration in cosmetology and aesthetic medicine. These tiny microscopic vesicles, with a diameter of only 30–150 nm, secreted by the cells of the human body, have enormous regenerative potential, becoming one of the key components in anti-aging, rejuvenating, and regenerative treatments.
What are exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic vesicles that act as carriers of information and biological components between cells. They are released by various types of cells, including fibroblasts, stem cells, and immune cells. Their contents include lipids, nucleic acids, growth factors, and cytokines. Thanks to these substances, exosomes support tissue regeneration, stimulate collagen production, and reduce skin inflammation, improving its appearance and structure.
How do exosomes work on the skin?
The action of exosomes in cosmetology is based on their ability to transmit cellular signals that support regenerative processes in the skin. After application to the skin, exosomes help rebuild damaged tissues, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and accelerate repair processes. The result is firmer, more elastic skin, fewer wrinkles, and an improved skin tone.
How to use exosomes?
Exosomes are primarily used in professional cosmetic treatments, such as mesotherapy, where they are introduced directly into the skin. They are also available in the form of serums, masks, and regenerative cosmetics for home care. To achieve the best results, it is recommended to combine exosome treatments with professional procedures and daily skin care.
Ingredients to avoid when combining with exosomes:
Strong exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA) – can destabilize exosome structure and cause irritation.
Excessively drying substances (denatured alcohol) – can weaken the regenerative properties of exosomes and lead to skin dryness.
Retinoids (in high concentrations) – can be too aggressive in combination with exosomes, leading to excessive skin irritation.
Excess preservatives and synthetic emulsifiers – can negatively affect exosome stability and reduce their effectiveness.
The best results are achieved by using exosomes in combination with gentle, regenerating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and plant extracts.
