Exosome Technology: How Ultrasound Is Revolutionizing Skincare
Revolutionizing Skincare with Exosome Technology and Ultrasound
- Customer: I keep hearing about exosomes these days. What exactly are they?
- Aesthetician: Great question! Exosomes are tiny vesicles secreted by cells that play a vital role in cell-to-cell communication. They are especially promising for skin regeneration and drug delivery.
- Customer: How are they used in skincare?
- Aesthetician: Recently, researchers have discovered that low-intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can significantly increase exosome production. This breakthrough was published in the Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology, in a study titled "Low-intensity ultrasound radiation increases exosome yield for efficient drug delivery."
- Customer: Ultrasound can help produce exosomes? That’s fascinating!
- Aesthetician: Yes! By using LIUS at 0.5 w/cm² for 60 minutes, the study showed enhanced gene expression related to exosome production, without harming the cells. This allows for a higher yield of exosomes, which can then be used to rejuvenate and protect the skin.
- Customer: So, how does this help my skin?
- Aesthetician: Our "SkinLinks" and "Estella" products incorporate this cutting-edge exosome technology. Estella delivers active ingredients deep into the skin, while SkinLinks boosts skin regeneration and elasticity.
- Customer: That sounds perfect for winter skincare!
- Aesthetician: Absolutely! It’s the ideal season to protect and repair your skin barrier. With exosome-based treatments, you’ll experience healthier, more resilient skin.
