We are doing microneedling in the office (yay!) and the results are awesome. I purposefully chose pure microneedling, as those with RF can cause facial fat volume loss. When doing microneedling, we pair it with HA (hyaluronic acid) and exosomes (stem cells) for the active ingredients into the microchannels created by the microneedling. This gives additional benefit to the treatment over the microneedling itself. It is great for the face, neck, chest (decolletage ladies!), hands, above the knees.
So why Resilielle?
“Exosomes” is a ridiculously broad term. You need to know the source (plant,animal), type (fat, bone marrow, placenta, mesenchymal), and intended use (topical? IV?). Then has it been studied? What is the quality control? It sounds futuristic and science-y to say “exosomes” and “stem cells,” but you really want to use a product which has been tested and does its intended use.
I really liked Resilielle product because they talk like me. They focus on transparency, high quality, science, adhering with FDA guidelines, and consistency.
- They have done testing on their product specifically looking at microneedling and the topical application of exosomes into the microchannels. (The preliminary results in a blog soon, but this was a multicenter study to determine what strength of exosomes are the best and does it work), The study was three treatments over three months at different concentrations, and the results showed over the 3 treatments there was an 80% improvement on average in hyperpigmentation, skin firmness, skin texture, radiance, pore size, and fine lines and wrinkles.
- They get their exosomes from Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells, which are more potent than stem cells from fat or bone marrow. They are considered “Age Zero.”
- They have a world class manufacturing complex with certified ISO 7 clean rooms and calibrated processing hoods.
- It is easy to use, stored in saline, high quality, and comes in different concentrations. It is not lyophilized, so the exosome integrity is intact.
I chose to use exosomes over PRP for microneedling because past studies don’t show long term histologic effects with PRP except for in hair thinning, PRP requires blood donation and spinning with variable amounts of PRP produced (I tried it once and made almost no plasma), and exosomes are stem cells, and you all know I have drank the KoolAid on stem cells after seeing my results the past decade of fat grafting.
These exosomes give me an easy in office way to get stem cells into my microneedling patients regimen.
