Exosomes are presented as packets of energy that facilitate cell communication, with significant scientific interest in their roles within integrative aesthetic dermatology. Studies have investigated their potential for anti-aging effects, hair growth stimulation, and inflammation reduction. Exosomes can originate from human cells or plants, and their efficacy varies significantly between different products. It is recommended to consult a provider to distinguish effective exosomes from ineffective ones. Exosomes are projected to become a common component in skincare formulations in the near future.
