Exosome Therapy

 
Exosome therapy stands at the forefront of regenerative medicine, offering exciting prospects for influencing and reprogramming various body cells to regenerate, heal, and repair. Despite exosomes being known to the scientific community for some time, recent technological advancements are fueling momentum in the field, enabling the development of effective exosome therapies. This article provides a brief introduction to exosome therapy, examining its potential benefits and associated risks to illuminate its significance in modern medicine. 

 
An exosome, a tiny vesicle enclosed by a membrane, is synthesized by most eukaryotic cells, including those found in animals. This bubble-like structure contains a range of substances, including proteins, DNA, mRNA, microRNA, long noncoding RNA, circular RNA, among others. Scientists theorize that exosomes function as messengers between cells, transmitting essential information and substances related to processes like coagulation, regeneration, and waste management from one cellular group to another. 

Exosome therapy introduces exosomes from human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into the body to have them influence target cells.

Exosome therapy introduces around 16 billion exosomes, which rapidly stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, promoting faster healing and recovery and local tissue repair.

Exosome therapy can help manage degenerative conditions, tissue repair, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging because it targets aging, injured, or diseased cells, instructing them to regenerate and repair.

Exosome therapy delivers exosomes into the body through a nebulizer directly to the lungs, which process them directly into the blood stream.  The exosomes, numbering in the billions, attach to target cells in the body, including blood, brain, muscle, skeletal, and organ cells.  They are small enough to also cross the blood brain barrier which is why they are an exciting new therapy for conditions effecting the brain. 

Once they attach to the cells, they transfer their payload into the cells, providing raw materials (proteins) and instructions (mRNA, miRNA, signaling cytokines) that instruct and empower them to regenerate and repair. Exosomes also enhance cell-to-cell communications, leading to a swift improvement in health and vitality.

Let me introduce myself.  I’m a seventy year old female. For most of my adult life, I have actively cared for my complexion and constantly managed the aging process to the best of my ability. (A face lift was never an option for me.) It was important that I tried anything else to accomplish my goal. 

Twelve years ago,  I had a fraxel laser treatment. (Today it’s called CO2). To say the least,  I was traumatized. The burn was so deep. I felt I would never recover. I did, but it took about 16 days. No one could come in or out because I looked that bad. But, the end results were amazing. Getting to that point, however, was indescribable for me and my husband. Remember, this required complete down time for those days. I swore I’d never do it this treatment again because the burn and recovery process was so traumatizing. 

Fast forward, 12 years and everyone (including my dermatologist) encouraged the treatment again. (BTW the same laser technology is used today as 12 years ago. The exact same laser). I was fortunate enough to be part of the N 1 Wellness family now who recommended Exosomes  as an after treatment care. There was not a lot of documentation I could find, it’s such a new option. But we all agreed it could help. 

I’m here to tell you Exosomes were amazing in expediting the healing process. The nurse practitioner who did the treatment was blown away by the immediate results I was experiencing. The first two days were almost like a sunburn (not even a bad sunburn). The healing process was dramatically accelerated with the use of the Exosomes. By day 4, I was peeling and by day 7, I was wearing makeup again and resuming my normal activities. I cannot stress enough that using Exosomes should not be a consideration but a “must” when considering any type of laser treatments (rather it be micro needling, clear and brilliant or of course CO2). You won’t regret your decision!
