Exosome Therapy – The Secret Treatment of Anti-Aging
Overview – The Secret Treatment of Anti-Aging
Over the past few years, exosomes had made a name in the field of rejuvenation and antiaging. Based on the available data, it seems that exosomes will be an integral part of rejuvenation therapy, especially in people interested in stem cell therapy.
Unsurprisingly, many people have never heard of exosomes. So, what exactly are exosomes? How would they help with aging? And what is the difference between exosome therapy and stem cell therapy?
In this article, we will answer all of these questions to help you understand the potential role of this innovative technique.
What are exosomes?
Inside your cells, there are several components that serve different functions. We call them organelles. When these components fuse with the membrane of the cell, exosomes form.
Close inspection of these exosomes shows that they contain protein, lipids, RNA, and other elements of the hosting cell.
Using this complex physiological concept, researchers used stem cell-derived exosomes to repair different tissues. The unique blend of components found inside of these vesicles makes exosomes very effective in boosting the body’s own regenerative ability.
Moreover, exosomes help with getting rid of cytotoxins, making them very effective in dampening chronic inflammation.
How will exosome therapy help your skin
As we age, our skin becomes prone to age-related deterioration, such as wrinkles. Primarily, these issues originate when you can’t regenerate the lost components of your skin.
The good news is that exosomes might just be the solution you’ve been looking for. This treatment will delay the aging process and promote skin regeneration.
When studied in the laboratory, exosomes showed some impressive effects in delaying the onset of skin aging. Researchers found that this therapy boosts the development of fibroblasts, which are a special type of cells that ensure your skin’s structural integrity and elasticity.
Today, the topical use of exosome therapy can be a fantastic way to slow down the dermatological effects of aging.
Perhaps the best thing about exosomes is the fact that there is no risk of rejection since they are not real tissues but rather a trigger for your own tissues to heal themselves.
What is the difference between stem cell therapy and exosomes?
Stem cell therapy revolves around using whole cells to replace lost tissue. Conversely, exosomes are vesicles that detach from the cells. The way that exosomes help with rejuvenation is by helping other cells using the components carried in the vesicles.
Another key difference between stem cells and exosomes is that the former is only obtained from specific areas of the body, such as:
- Bone marrow
- Blood
- Fat tissue
On the other hand, you can get exosomes from all types of cells.
Takeaway message
The use of exosomes in the field of rejuvenation therapy revealed very promising results in preliminary research studies. If used properly, the clinical applications of this technique could be vast, extending beyond esthetic aspects.
We hope that this article helped you appreciate the role of exosome therapy in addressing the aging process.

7 PRP Treatments That Are Popular Right Now
The time it takes to draw a patient’s blood, add a little citrate, and use a centrifugal machine with a PRP kit is only 15-20 minutes. This is the amount of time needed to create Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP. This can then be used for many purposes, using speeding up a patients recovery.
PRP is by far the best healing agent that has growth factors and platelets to help with the healing process, which is also completely free and natural to obtain.
What are The Advantages Of Using PRP Correctly?
It is easy to create PRP simpy by placing blood in a centrifuge, but it can have very little, if any, platelets, and would otherwise be useless. However, with the right equipment, you can make PRP with up to 7x the amount of platelets. This can be amplified by using fat tissue and collagen fibers to create a PRP matrix.
7 Popular PRP Treatments
- Facial Treatments
Many skin centers are thriving due to being one of the first to adopt PRP therapies. With the lack of side effects or down time, it became incredibly popular. These treatments include wrinkle reduction, skin rejuvenation, dark circle and bag erasure, rosacea treatment, and even lip augmentation.
One popular and generic treatment option includes combining PRP and a treatment known as microneedling. When this is applied, it’s effects are similar to Botox, or facelifts, for far less cost and side effects.
- Hair Loss
PRP growth factors can be beneficial when it comes to reversing non-genetic early stage hair loss. Despite there being a huge market for this, almost no practitioners actually utilize it. Many clients have seen promise after hair thinning, and many have seen beard regrowth over time.
- Arthritis and Cartilage
Arthritis treatments alone cost patients 6.4 billion dollars in 2013 for the US alone, with projections of up to 9 billion by the end of the decade. However, unlike the other treatments, PRP is seen as the only treatment that can not just reduce symptoms, but also regrow the cartilage. One of the most popular examples would be treatments for Temporomandibulaar Joint Osteoarthritis.
- Anti-aging Properties
When it comes to the anti-aging market, there are a endless number of treatments and procures available. Yet, none of them even stand close to the effectiveness of PRP therapy. PRP combined with Microneedling can ve highly effective for strech marks, acne scars, breast augmentation, and even skin conditions like Lichen Sclerosus.
- Pain Relief and Musculoskeletal Healing
There are a ton of treatments in this category, with many of them being incredibly more effective than leading treatments. These include healing Rotator Cuffs, Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendonitis, Patellar Tendonitis, Back Pain, Hip and Pelvic problems, Degenerative Disc Disease, Golfer’s Elbow, Labaral Tear, Brusitis, neck pain, avascular Necrosis, and even pain related to nerve regeneration.
Almost all of these treatment, as opposed to those in other categories on this list, also use ultrasound guidance when injecting the PRP directly into the affected tissue. This can allow patients to see fantastic results in as little as 2 weeks.
- Fertility
Ovarian Rejuvination is where PRP is injected directly into a woman’s ovaries. This is meant to help reverse menopause and help lower fertility issues. This treatment can even be used for sexual regeneration. Although similar, this treatment is not the same as other treatments where PRO is injected into the vagina, and is supposed to treat looseness, dryness, low sex drive, and incontinence.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
Allergies, asthma, and COPD are among the growing list of things that PRP is being used as a treatment for. For this to work, the PRP is mixed with a saline solution, and then, using a nebulizer, is inhaled, and helps to regenerate the lung tissue.
Although it can take up to 2 months for patients to see the effects, many are seeing improvements. Almost 1 million people suffer from COPD a year, so anything that can help treat the condition is beneficial.
The Future
PRP has been trending rather well in the recent years, and seems to be here for the long term. Not only it is a fully natural remedy, but it is one that works better than most or all traditional treatments. Many like it due to the fact that there are few side effects, it only takes a short amount of time, and there is no recovery period.
PRP has been adopted by thousands of clinics and practices throughout the US and the world. The demand for these treatments have been increasing almost faster than practices are choosing to provide them. Many patients are even willing to travel long distances just to receive these treatments.
So are you providing PRP treatments yet?
