Exosome Therapy

Exosome Therapy

 

Exosomes are small sacs released by cells that communicate with recipient cells and influence various biological functions. These sacs, usually 30-100 nanometers in size, are surrounded by the cell membrane and are located in the extracellular environment. Thanks to the various components they contain, they can regulate the gene expression of target cells and affect various biological processes. For this reason, exosomes are called "ambassadors of cells" or "intercellular communication tools".

Importance and Functions of Exosomes
Exosomes play an important role in regulating many biological processes. They can influence the functions of target cells through the genetic material, proteins and lipids they contain. For example, they can accelerate repair processes in the skin, reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and enable communication between cells. Exosomes also enable cells to communicate with each other by carrying genetic material and signaling molecules between cells.

Obtaining Exosomes
Exosomes are usually obtained in the laboratory by culturing newborn umbilical cord stem cells or other cell types, which are then purified using various isolation techniques. These isolation techniques can include ultrasonic dispersion, differential centrifugation and size sorting.

 

Implementation of Exosome Therapy
Exosome treatment usually involves a several-step procedure:

1. Preparation: Before starting treatment, the patient's skin type, treatment area and treatment goals are assessed. The treatment plan is determined according to the individual needs of the patient.
2. Preparation of the Application Area: The treatment area is properly cleaned and sterilized. Local anesthesia may be applied, but anesthesia is usually not needed for this type of treatment.
3. Exosome Injection: Exosomes are injected into the treatment area via micro-needles or fine needles. The injection is made directly into the lower layers of the skin or targeted tissue.

Uses of Exosome Therapy

Exosome therapy can be used in various fields:

1. Skin Rejuvenation: Exosomes can reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity and provide a rejuvenating effect.

2. Hair Loss Treatment: Exosomes can reduce hair loss and promote hair growth by strengthening hair follicles.

3. Stain Treatment: Skin blemishes can occur for reasons such as sun damage or signs of aging. Exosome therapy can reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and even out skin tone.

4. Wound Healing: By promoting tissue regeneration, exosomes can accelerate the wound healing process and promote healing.

5. Anti-Aging Treatments: Exosomes can be used to reduce the signs of aging and provide a rejuvenating effect on the skin.

6. Combined Use with Stem Cell Therapies: Exosomes can be used in combination with stem cell therapies and can promote tissue regeneration more effectively.

Results and Duration of Exosome Treatment
The effects of exosome treatment usually start to be noticeable immediately, but may require several weeks or months for full results. The effect of the treatment can vary depending on the size of the treatment area, the severity of the problem being treated and the patient's skin type. Usually, significant results can be achieved even after a single treatment session. However, in some cases, repeated treatments may be necessary.
