Research Roundup

Research into exosomes—tiny, sac-resembling structures formed inside cells—is growing rapidly. Exosomes transfer information between cells by delivering signalling molecules. With regard to its use, there are studies looking at combination treatments using exosomes for the purpose of biostimulation. It can also be used in treatments involving calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin matrix.

The aim of this study was to create safe protocols for improving the delivery of topical exosomes to enhance the quality of the skin, either by using them in a standalone treatment or in combination with injectable CaHA.

A total of 40 patients were involved. To test if the method alone would allow exosomes absorption, 20 of them had facial biostimulatory dermal infusion; five of them had facial bio stimulator infusion followed by CaHA injection to their faces; five others had exosome biostimulatory dermal infusion followed by hyperdiluted CaHA injection to their necks; five more had facial dilute CaHA injection without dermal infusion; the remaining five had their necks injected with hyperdiluted CaHA injection without dermal infusion.
