Clients are shifting from artificial looks and want to look like the natural, younger, and better versions of their own selves. Hence, in the ever-evolving aesthetic medicine, the current focus is on regenerative medicine that harnesses the body’s own healing. Exosomes are the rising star of regenerative medicine because of their versatility, ease of use, no downtime, and cost.
Exosomes are vesicles like a bubble. The inside of the bubble holds a powerful concentration of regenerative complex containing potent growth factors, mRNA, peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and cellular energizers. They are 30-150 nm in size, much smaller than our skin pores. When applied to the skin, it gets absorbed into the skin and boosts skin regenerative power.
There are different kinds of exosomes depending upon their source. Exosomes are sourced from humans, animals, plants, and bacteria.
The one we use at Glow Skin & Dental Clinic is sourced from the bacteria lactobacillus. The lactobacillus bacteria are already present in our skin and gut. So, it is safe. The brand we use for Exosomes treatment in Kathmandu, Nepal is EXOSES LB from Medi Derma, a Spanish product. It is one of the first few companies to make exosomes from the lactobacillus bacteria. It is found to be safer and more efficacious than human, animal, or plant-sourced exosomes.
The safety and efficacy of the exosome depend upon its source, purification, and stability. Hence, we only choose from the best in the industry.
As we age or due to disease, our skin’s regenerative power decreases; hence we lose collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, etc. Exosomes improve cell-to-cell communication, resulting in repair, restoration, and rejuvenation. It does so by boosting our own body’s regenerative power by providing necessary growth factors, mRNA, lipids, and cell signaling proteins.
Exosomes are now available in freeze-dried powder form, solution form, or cream form. Freeze-dried and solution forms are stable and available as of today for professional use only. However, the cream form is unstable and available as an over-the-counter product for home use, and its efficacy is questionable.
In the skin, you get multiple benefits.
Yes, it can be done for hair rejuvenation, much like PRP, iPRF, or growth factors. It helps to reduce hair thinning and promote new hair growth as well.
We can treat the following:-
Exosomes are going to be more powerful and penetrate well in the skin if they are used after dermatologic procedures such as microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency, lasers, and chemical peels. These procedures enhance the penetration of the exosomes, while exosomes reduce the downtime of these procedures and amplify their result by promoting the regenerative cascade that follows after these procedures. It is like complementing one another.
PRP, iPRF, or growth factors are autologous products, meaning they’re your own body’s healing products that assist in rejuvenation. Growth factors are better than PRP, and iPRF is better than growth factors. They are good, but sometimes it might not be enough, and they need assistance.
Exosomes are created in the lab and have massive regeneration-boosting power as the ingredients in the exosomes are carefully selected. It assists our body in healing, repairing, regenerating, and restoring.
We can do exosomes as an alone treatment or along with other synergizing treatments such as PRP, iPRF, or growth factors, PDRN, depending upon the client’s underlying condition requirement.
A hyperpigmentation such as melasma is difficult to get rid of and requires various treatments such as chemical peels, mesotherapy, and now exosomes. It is shown to improve melasma as early as in a few sessions compared to other treatments, but complete clearance depends upon the melasma duration, topical treatment, and strict sun avoidance.
We have been delivering great results with our signature microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) in treating aging skin and scars. MNRF is different from microneedling as it is powered by heat. But this heat is color blind, unlike lasers. Laser can cause pigmentation after treatment for our Asian skin type. Our signature MNRF includes other adjunctive such as iPRF, mesosolution, etc.
The addition of exosome post MNRF seems to take the result a notch up. Our client says they heal faster with less downtime, have greater clarity and brightness to their skin with fewer fine lines, and have a natural youthful appearance. It is a great treatment combination for aging Asian skin, scars, and stretch marks.
It is recommended to do 3 to 6 sessions, but you may see results as early as after a single session. The number of sessions required also depends upon the procedure it is combined with, such as microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency, lasers, peels, etc.
Downtime is minimal with mild to moderate redness, slight irritation, and mild swelling lasting for 24 hours or slightly more.
As stated earlier, we use the lactobacillus-derived exosomes from the best of the industry. Post exosomes, we fan the treated skin with -30-degree cool air to aid your comfort and reduce discomfort as well as inflammation and apply other synergistic healing molecules.
At Glow Skin and Dental Clinic, all the minimally invasive procedures are done by dermatologists. All the procedures are done in a strictly sterilized environment in a clean ambiance.
In the field of aesthetic regenerative medicine, exosomes are the latest buzz. They are tiny but mighty on their own, but when combined with aesthetic treatment, they can deliver exponential results. Lactobacillus-sourced exosomes seem to be better in efficacy and safety-wise.
Exosome treatment in Kathmandu, Nepal at Glow Skin & Dental enhances collagen and elastin production, increases skin hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and reduces melanin. As a result, you see improvement in skin tone, texture, color, luminosity, and wrinkles.
