Exosomes At Tucson Wellness MD
Exosomes are different from stem cells. Stem cells are a kind of cell found in your body. They can become like any type of cell and act as building blocks and repair mechanisms is your body. Exosomes are tiny bubbles that are released from stem cells. Exosomes are messengers filled with biomolecules, lipids and nucleic acids that can be customized for specific therapeutic applications. They are particularly effective in treating arthritis, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair. They carry genetic information and proteins to cells throughout your body and create paths for communication between cells. They enhance cell-to-cell communication. Exosome treatments are cell-free therapies that use exosomes to improve the appearance of your hair, skin and other areas of your body.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are not stem cells.
Stem cells are living cells that can develop into different tissue types. Exosomes are microscopic messenger vesicles released by stem cells. They contain proteins, growth factors, lipids, and genetic material that help cells communicate and repair themselves.
Think of exosomes as instruction packets that tell your cells how to heal, regenerate, and reduce inflammation.
Because exosome therapy is cell-free, it focuses on communication and repair without introducing live cells into the body.
How Exosome Therapy Works
Exosomes travel between cells and deliver biological signals that:
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Support tissue repair
-
Improve cellular function
-
Promote regeneration
These signals help guide your body’s natural healing response instead of forcing change from the outside.
