Exosomes are small, membrane-bound vesicles released by cells. They play a role in intercellular communication by carrying proteins, RNA, and other molecules between cells. Research suggests they may have therapeutic potential in various medical applications. Research on exosomes and anti-aging is an emerging field. Some studies suggest that exosomes may contribute to tissue regeneration and repair, potentially impacting the aging process. Exosomes derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, for instance, are now known for their regenerative properties because of the proteins that they carry and their ability to modulate cellular functions. While promising, it’s important to note that the understanding of exosomes’ role in anti-aging although in early stages, the current research data totally supports their benefits and effectiveness as well as safety in all the anti-aging treatments. Therefore they are all FDA-cleared.
Exosomes are involved in the production of collagen, a key protein that provides structural support to the skin. Collagen helps maintain skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and promoting a youthful appearance.
Keratin is a protein essential for hair structure. Exosomes contribute to the synthesis of keratin, ensuring the strength and integrity of hair strands.
Proteins encoded by exosomes are involved in the process of skin cell renewal. This is crucial for maintaining healthy skin by replacing old, damaged cells with new ones.
Elastin is another protein important for skin elasticity. Exosomes participate in the production of elastin, helping the skin to maintain its flexibility.
Understanding the genetic components related to skin and hair health, including variations in exosomes, can provide insights into individual differences in these traits. However, it’s essential to note that various factors, including lifestyle, environment, and overall health, also play significant roles in determining the condition of skin and hair.

This advanced vascular laser system adeptly targets a diverse range of blood vessels, providing swift and safe treatment for issues ranging from small spider veins to deep blue reticular veins. The Excel V is versatile and can effectively address various conditions, including:
– Port Wine Stains
– Rosacea
– Leg Veins
– Facial Telangiectasias
– Cherry Angiomas
Typically, patients find that 3-5 treatments are sufficient for smaller veins, with treatments being every 4 weeks for optimal results. However, the necessary number of treatments depends on factors such as the quantity, color, and size of the vessels being addressed. Results differ from person to person so we recommend scheduling a consultation to outline a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Most patients have described experiencing a stinging sensation when the energy pulses are delivered through the handpiece. However, the use of local anesthesia or pain medication is typically unnecessary. Following the treatment, any discomfort is minimal to nonexistent.
While the majority of patients experience minimal to no side effects, those most frequently reported consist of localized swelling and slight reddening of the skin. These effects typically subside within approximately 48-72 hours.
