What are Exosomes?

Dr. Chernoff uses many types of Growth Factor treatments for scar improvement and wound healing. Exosomes (extra cellular vesicles, secretomes) are nano-sized vesicles that have been shown to key in the cell-to-cell communication. Exosomes are released by regenerative cells, such as stem cells which are important to enhance skin healing and repair. Exosomes carry protein and genetic information that the cell needs to function correctly. As a result of the exosomes’ ability to communicate, they play a vital role in healing and rejuvenating of all types of cells in our body.

What Types of Conditions can be Treated with Exosomes?

Keloid Scar Treatment

A keloid is caused by an excess protein (collagen) forming in the skin during healing. The scar or keloids are raised, lumpy and/or ridged. Some patients develop extremely large keloids that can be painful or uncomfortable. Keloids develop on some people after an injury, such as a surgical incision or a more severe acne outbreak. While anyone can develop a keloid scar, they are much more common in people with dark skin.

At Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Chernoff is among a few reconstructive surgeons that successfully removes keloids. Most importantly, as a result of Dr. Chernoff’s advanced technique and treatments, the keloid scars do not return after surgery! He uses innovative growth factor treatments including exosomes, with specific laser surgery to remove keloid scars from the face, neck, or body.

Traumatic Injury Treatment

Exosomes regulate collagen synthesis during various periods of wound healing. Applied topically, Exosomes can accelerate healing of wounds through an early stage increase in the production of type I and type II collagen which helps to reduce scar formation.

Surgical Recovery Improved with Exosomes

For some patients, Dr. Chernoff may use growth factor treatments to help improve healing and recovery from cosmetic surgical procedures. During your surgery, Dr. Chernoff can apply growth factors topically to reduce inflammation and improve healing. This is a unique and “add on” offering at Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery and can be discussed during your consultation.

Skin Cancer (Mohs Surgery) Skin Healing with Exosomes

Dr. Chernoff uses exosomes to improving healing after Mohs surgery and complicated skin grafts. For example, for nasal tips, where circulation can be compromised, exosomes applied topically can assist in healing and the appearance of the skin graft.

Exosomes & Combined Therapies for Renewed Skin

Dr. Chernoff combines exosomes applied topically with skin improving treatments to provide patients with results that have not been possible to achieve in the past. We typically combine exosomes with advanced radiofrequency with microneedling, laser treatments, and light therapy to enhance your body’s powerful cell healing benefits. Patients can potentially see improvements in scars, lines, wrinkles and skin quality.
