What Do Exosomes, PRF and PRP Do for Your Skin?

So again, fillers are meant to add volume, fat is meant to add volume, but fat can also have properties similar to PRF, PRP and exosomes. That's the beauty of fat. However, without going through surgery, exosomes, PRF and Sculptra have a role. So to improve the skin, let's talk about that. This area of regenerative medicine takes time. It's not immediate. You get fillers, you get fat, it's immediate. Regenerative treatments take time.

Even skincare takes time. If you've damaged your skin over years, it's not going to immediately be incredible within days or weeks. It takes time. So we are building collagen, building elastin, improving skin tone, improving skin health over time. Let's talk about exosomes: little tiny messengers, full of growth factors. They have an anti-inflammatory property. So if you're using Retin-A, if you've had lasers, if you apply the exosomes, you actually heal nicer and better. It calms the skin down. It also has properties where it's stimulating collagen and elastin.

Again, newer stuff. It hasn't been around forever and ever, but it's very promising. We use (plated). There are other exosomes as well. Again, as long as you stay safe and you don't do things that are unsafe, they can be used properly. With the FDA, the jury's still out on some of this stuff, because people are injecting it. It's not for injections yet, but used topically, especially after laser treatments, chemical peels or microneedling, it actually has been shown to work beautifully. PRP and PRF: platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin.

Think about PRP as something that releases its growth factors fast, and PRF as something that releases them slowly. It's a little bit of a clot, adds a little bit of bulk initially. It's not really a filler. It's not adding volume, but it is improving skin quality. Used for tear troughs, used for fine lines, used for smile lines when they don't need that much volume. It is actually nice. Both PRP and PRF can be added to other procedures. They've been used in other fields of medicine, not just plastic surgery, so it's not hocus pocus. It actually works.
