at a Different Level
Exosomes are nano-scale extracellular vesicles, typically 30 to 150 nanometers in diameter, that are naturally produced and released by cells as a mechanism of intercellular communication. They carry a cargo of proteins, lipids, messenger RNA, microRNA, and growth factors that are transferred to recipient cells, where they alter gene expression and cellular behavior. In skin, exosomes derived from stem cells have been shown to dramatically stimulate fibroblast activity, collagen production, angiogenesis, and cellular repair, producing tissue regeneration at a scale and depth that other treatments do not approach.
At Superior Health Medical and Wellness, Dr. Akers uses physician-grade exosome preparations derived from extensively characterized stem cell lines, applied in conjunction with microneedling for maximum dermal penetration. Exosome therapy represents the current frontier of regenerative aesthetics, offering a biological intelligence approach to skin renewal that works by reprogramming cellular behavior rather than simply stimulating it mechanically or chemically. The result is skin that genuinely functions better, not just skin that looks better temporarily.

Cellular Reprogramming.
PRP concentrates your own platelets and their growth factors, producing a meaningful biological signal. Exosomes derived from stem cells carry a payload of growth factors, RNA, and signaling proteins that exponentially exceeds what PRP can deliver. Clinical studies have shown exosome preparations to contain up to 1,000 times more growth factors than equivalent volumes of PRP, producing a profoundly more potent regenerative signal.
Most skin treatments work at the protein level, stimulating cells to produce more collagen or growth factors. Exosomes work at the RNA level, delivering microRNA molecules that alter how skin cells read their genetic instructions. This upstream effect on gene expression produces more fundamental and lasting changes in cellular behavior than protein-level stimulation, which is why exosome-treated skin often shows improvement for months after a single session.
Exosome preparations for clinical use require pharmaceutical-grade sourcing, characterization, and storage. The quality difference between a properly sourced, physician-grade exosome preparation and uncharacterized products marketed in aesthetic channels is enormous. Dr. Akers uses only rigorously characterized exosome preparations from trusted clinical sources, ensuring the potency and safety of the treatment.

and How They Work
Exosomes are produced by virtually every cell type in the body and serve as a mechanism of intercellular communication that extends beyond direct cell-to-cell contact. A cell that needs to communicate with a distant cell packages a selection of its proteins, lipids, messenger RNA, and regulatory microRNA into a lipid bilayer vesicle that is then secreted into the extracellular space. Recipient cells take up these vesicles and respond to their molecular cargo, altering their behavior in response to the signals received.
Stem cell-derived exosomes used in aesthetic treatments are particularly potent because stem cells produce exosomes loaded with the signaling molecules that drive tissue regeneration, including growth factors, anti-inflammatory cytokines, Wnt pathway proteins, and microRNAs that upregulate collagen production, promote angiogenesis, and suppress senescence in aging cells. When these exosomes are delivered to skin cells, they effectively communicate a pro-regenerative program to the recipient cells.
The microRNA cargo of exosomes is particularly significant. MicroRNAs are regulatory molecules that control gene expression by binding to messenger RNA and either suppressing or promoting the production of specific proteins. Exosomal microRNAs delivered to skin cells can upregulate collagen-producing genes, downregulate pro-inflammatory pathways, and activate cellular repair mechanisms at a level that growth factors alone cannot achieve, explaining the superior regenerative outcomes observed with exosome therapy compared to growth factor-only treatments.
Therapy Experience
Exosome treatments are performed with topical numbing cream applied before any microneedling component. The exosome preparation is applied to the skin and worked into the micro-channels created by microneedling throughout the procedure. Because the exosomes are in a liquid solution that is applied topically, the treatment experience from the patient's perspective is similar to standard microneedling with a serum infusion: the micro-channels do the delivery work, and the exosome preparation provides the extraordinarily potent biological cargo.
Recovery after exosome microneedling is typically shorter than after standard microneedling due to the powerful anti-inflammatory and pro-healing signals delivered by the exosomes themselves. Most patients see redness for 12 to 24 hours, which is less than the 24 to 48 hours typical after standard microneedling. Results begin to appear within one to two weeks and continue developing for three to six months as the cellular reprogramming effect unfolds.
