What are Exosomes?

Exosomes have started grabbing attention in the field of skincare and dermatology due to their potential role in promoting skin health and rejuvenation.

Research has suggested that when exosomes are derived from stem cells or other cell types they can influence various cellular processes in the skin, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue repair.

Purasomes HSC50+ Hair & Scalp Complex

Purasomes HSC50+ Hair & Scalp Complex is designed to stop hair loss and regenerate hair follicles to restore their normal functioning. It resets the strength of the dermal papilla, stopping hair loss and creating a better environment for hair to grow. This regulates the hair growth cycle, allowing stronger and thicker hair to grow through on a healthy and hydrated scalp.

Exosomes can reduce inflammation around hair follicles, which is often a barrier to regrowth. They also have regenerative properties that can help rejuvenate damaged or dormant follicles, encouraging hair growth in areas that may have stopped producing hair.

What are they used for?

Anti-aging effects: Exosomes contain growth factors such as cytokines, and other signaling molecules. These molecules promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. By delivering these bioactive molecules to skin cells, exosomes could potentially help in combating signs of aging.

Wound healing: They have been shown to accelerate wound healing by promoting cell migration, proliferation, and the formation of new blood vessels. This property makes them promising for treating skin wounds, cuts, and burns.

Skin rejuvenation: When exosomes are derived from stem cells or young cells, they may have rejuvenating effects on aging skin by stimulating the production of new skin cells, improving skin texture, and enhancing overall skin appearance.

Skin hydration and barrier function: Exosomes can improve skin hydration and strengthen the skin barrier by delivering lipids and other molecules essential for maintaining skin moisture and integrity.

Treatment of skin disorders:  There is some research to show that exosomes are potentially effective in treating various skin disorders., such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne. By modulating inflammation, immune response, and other cellular processes, exosomes could offer novel therapeutic strategies for these conditions.

Exosomes are applied topically, so they should be a totally pain-free treatment, without any downtime. Plus, when it used in conjunction with other treatments, such as laser, they can reduce the discomfort felt post-procedure, and maximise results.

We are a doctor-led and patient-centric clinic so Dr Natalia Bratu will be looking after you and will have a full consultation with you to discuss your medical health and suitability, benefits, risks, results and post-treatment expectations.

A small number of people are not suitable for treatment. This can be down to pre-existing medical conditions, Your lifestyle, and current physical condition.

At your consultation, the doctor may deem you unsuitable for treatment. In the Refine Clinic we do not pressure our clients to go ahead with any treatment until they are ready so there is no problem if you decide to come back another day and take time to consider your treatment options.

Exosomes are said to continue being active in the skin up to six to eight months post-treatment, leading to maintained skin quality improvements.

As exosomes work by triggering your skin’s natural repair processes, the results aren’t instant, with the best outcomes 3-6 weeks after their use due to their triggering of increased collagen and elastin production. However, due to their anti-inflammatory effect on the skin, they can quickly reduce the downtime of other tweakments, which can be useful while you wait for their full effect.

That is no problem at all. Your doctor will take their time with you.  They will go through the treatment and will answer all your questions to reassure you. If you decide not to have treatment at any point, that is also no problem.  There may be other different treatments that you may be more comfortable with if appropriate for the issues or needs you have.
