What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are naturally-occurring vesicles found in human stem cells that act as “messengers” between cells.
In the body, exosomes perform numerous functions which include communicating cell damage between cells and supplying regenerative molecules such as DNA, RNA, lipids and proteins to target cells. When exosomes detect damaged cells, they signal the delivery of repair molecules and prompt the damaged cells to perform regeneration.
Exosomes used in facial rejuvenation products at Michael Horn Plastic Surgery & Med Spa are derived from human adipose (fat) tissue mesenchymal stem cells — a process performed in FDA-registered labs by industry professionals under strict quality control and purity standards. Exosome treatment is considered an advanced and popular alternative treatment to retinol facial treatment, stem cell facial treatment and PRP facials with benefits you have to see and feel to believe.
Why Exosome Facial Rejuvenation?
Exosome facial rejuvenation is an advanced skincare treatment that utilizes natural internal processes to produce visible cosmetic effects.
Because exosomes can be manipulated to achieve cell regeneration, damaged skin cells treated with exosomes can enjoy a new lease on life and wind back the clock on facial tissue appearance. Professional exosome treatment has been shown to improve overall skin quality and multiply skin collagen and elastin levels — resulting in healthier, more youthful-looking and beautiful skin.
What’s the Difference between Exosome Facial Rejuvenation and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Treatment?
PRP treatment involves harvesting blood from the patient for the collection of growth factors and platelets which are then injected into target locations during facial microneedling treatment. Exosome facial rejuvenation involves the use of proprietary products derived from human adipose (fat) tissue mesenchymal stem cells with exosomes as their primary ingredient.
Which Conditions Can be Treated with Exosome Facial Therapy?
Exosome facial treatment is an ideal solution for a wide range of facial skin tissue conditions and imperfections, including:
- Aging skin tissue
- Loss of elasticity
- Acne
- Scarring
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles

How Does Exosome Facial Rejuvenation Work?
Exosome facial rejuvenation requires a microneedling procedure to achieve the necessary skin penetration and delivery of the exosome compound to the subsurface layers of the skin. With microneedling, tiny punctures are made in the skin at precise target locations using a microneedling device, promoting a healing response that results in natural rebuilding of the skin. By adding exosomes to the process, the skin is enhanced with natural growth factors and repair mechanisms that cause persistent rejuvenation of the skin for an extended period of time.
How Do I Prepare for Exosome Facial Rejuvenation?
Very little preparation is required for exosome facial rejuvenation and patients can be ready for treatment in a matter of days. Prior to the procedure, you will be advised to:
- Stay hydrated the day before treatment
- Eat breakfast on the day of treatment
- Avoid NSAID medications for a minimum of 4 days before treatment and a minimum of 4 days after treatment, which include but are not limited to:
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
