What Are Exosomes—And Why Are They the Next Big Thing?
At SkinVerse Laser & Wellness, we’re always looking for ways to enhance your results, especially after treatments like microneedling. That’s why we offer exosomes and growth factors—two advanced options for accelerating healing, improving skin texture, and boosting collagen production.
You may have heard about both, but what’s the difference? And which one is right for you?
Let’s break it down.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring messengers released by stem cells. These little vesicles carry proteins, lipids, RNA, and growth factors that communicate with your skin cells to trigger repair, regeneration, and collagen synthesis.
In simpler terms: exosomes help your skin behave like younger, healthier skin.
They may be derived from plant or human donor cells, but do not contain any live DNA and are not cells. They used topically to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and boost results after procedures like microneedling, RF microneedling, or laser resurfacing.
What Are Growth Factors?
Growth factors are proteins that occur naturally in the body and are involved in the regeneration and repair of skin tissue. In skincare, they’re often derived from human cells (like fibroblasts or bone marrow) or plant-based bioidentical sources.
Applied topically after microneedling, growth factors help:
- Speed up healing
- Reduce post-procedure redness
- Stimulate collagen and elastin
- Improve tone and texture over time
They’re a gold-standard option for post-procedure recovery and long-term skin rejuvenation.
Exosomes vs. Growth Factors: What’s the Difference?
Both are incredibly effective. Exosomes are considered next-generation regenerative skincare, while growth factors are a proven, reliable standard—and both have a place in post-treatment protocols.
How We Use Them at SkinVerse
After your microneedling or RF microneedling treatment, your skin is open and highly receptive to topical ingredients. This is the ideal time to apply either exosomes or growth factors to supercharge your results.
At SkinVerse:
- We apply exosomes or growth factors immediately post-treatment to reduce inflammation and support healing.
- Clients typically experience less redness, faster recovery, and brighter, firmer skin within days.
- For clients focused on anti-aging or scar revision, we may recommend a series of microneedling sessions paired with exosome therapy for deeper regeneration.
Our team will help you choose the best option based on your skin type, goals, and the treatment you're receiving.
