EXOSOMES
What are Exosomes?
In the ever-evolving landscape of skincare, exosomes have emerged as a revolutionary tool in the pursuit of radiant, youthful skin and hair regeneration. Rooted in recent scientific research and backed by peer-reviewed studies, exosomes offer a multifaceted approach to skin rejuvenation and hair regrowth.
Exosomes are small nano-sized vesicles that are produced and released by stem cells in the body. Exosomes carry a variety of molecules including proteins, lipids and other bioactive substances between cells. Exosomes in the skin are like tiny messengers that carry important signals between skin cells, helping to regulate processes like cell growth, repair, and communication, which ultimately contribute to healthy skin function and appearance.
