I never received compliments on my skin until beginning exosome therapy last fall.

It all started with an in-office chemical peel, then a stem cell microneedling treatment.

I didn’t really know what exosomes were or how it could help me achieve my skin goals.
I had so many questions.
Exosomes, Ntonos tells me, are small vehicles released by all cells, including stem cells.
In simple terms, exosomes are messengers that carry essential information and factors from one cell to another.
By delivering these nanoparticles directly to the skin, one could receive better results.
This improves skin quality and appearance, making them ideal for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatments.
There are even ongoing studies that exosomes can improve hair restoration.
In 2020, Resilielle discovered how to harvest many exosomes from a single umbilical cord per batch.
This innovation helps the ingredients be readily available for aesthetic treatments.
Generally, exosomes are delivered to the skin topically following a medical unit treatment.
It was as simple as that.
By day three, I felt comfortable wearing makeup again and being photographed.
However, I was instructed to avoid exfoliants and retinol for the next week.
Luminosity was one thing, but I swear, it I looked poreless.
I had never in my life seen my skin so smooth.
It was like I had somehow achieved that glass-skin look everyone kept talking about.
Through exosomes, we are now in the era of being able to truly treat aging.
Imagine if you could program your skin to behave like its younger self.
