Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles — tiny messengers released by cells that carry proteins, growth factors and genetic information between cells. In aesthetic medicine, exosome therapy harnesses these signalling molecules to instruct the skin's own cells to repair, regenerate and produce new structural proteins.
Unlike most skin treatments that work on the surface, exosomes work at the communication level of the cell — essentially sending a biological repair signal that your skin responds to naturally. The result is an improvement in tone, texture and overall skin resilience that goes deeper than conventional treatments.
At DermaMedica, exosomes are most commonly applied topically following microneedling — the micro-channels created by the Dermapen allow deep penetration and dramatically enhance the efficacy of the exosome serum. They can also be used on the scalp for hair restoration.
