Quick summary: Exosomes are nano-sized structures that carry biological signals between cells. These structures, prominent in regenerative medicine, are researched and applied in various medical fields targeting skin rejuvenation, hair treatment, and tissue renewal. At our clinic, only products registered with the Product Tracking System (ÜTS) are used, and each application is planned on an individual basis.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are small vesicles secreted by cells, typically ranging from 30 to 150 nanometers in diameter. These nano-structures carry proteins, lipids, mRNA, microRNA, and other signaling molecules from one cell to another, enabling intercellular communication.
They can be thought of as biological couriers delivering messages between cells. The receiving cell deciphers these messages and regulates its gene expression, metabolic activity, and cellular behavior accordingly. This mechanism plays a critical role in many fundamental biological processes such as tissue homeostasis, immune response, and wound healing.
The Role of Exosomes in Regenerative Medicine
Exosome research has expanded rapidly over the past decade. In scientific literature, the potential mechanisms of exosomes are being studied in tissue engineering, neurological diseases, cardiovascular medicine, and aesthetic dermatology.
In the context of skin and hair applications, exosomes may:
- Stimulate collagen synthesis: Through signals delivered to fibroblasts, contributing to increased tissue density.
- Modulate inflammation: Chronic low-grade inflammation is one of the fundamental mechanisms of skin aging.
- Support cellular renewal: May contribute to keratinocyte and fibroblast activation.
- Improve the hair follicle environment: Potential effects on the health of tissue surrounding follicles are being researched.
Quality and Safety First at Our Clinic
At our clinic, only products registered with the Product Tracking System (ÜTS) — with verified sources and quality — are used. ÜTS registration indicates that the product is part of Turkey's official distribution chain, with monitored storage and transport conditions, distinguishable from unauthorized or counterfeit products.
Every Application is Personally Planned
Exosome application is not a standard procedure carried out with the same protocol for everyone. Factors such as skin type, treatment goals, general health status, and previously performed aesthetic procedures play a decisive role in determining the protocol. For this reason, every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation consultation before the application.
Connection to the Genoskop Project
Our Genoskop Project takes exosome therapy a step further. While product selection in standard exosome applications is based on general criteria, within the Genoskop framework, an RNA sample is first taken from the skin, and a protocol tailored to that person's molecular profile is determined based on genetic analysis results.
