Treatment Overview
Exosome Therapy is one of Korea’s most advanced regenerative dermatology treatments for sagging skin and loss of elasticity. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles derived from stem cells, rich in growth factors, proteins, lipids, and RNA, which play a vital role in cell-to-cell communication and skin regeneration.
When injected into sagging or aging skin, exosomes stimulate collagen and elastin production, repair damaged tissues, and restore skin density. Unlike traditional lifting procedures that only tighten the surface, Exosome Therapy addresses sagging at a cellular level, making it a long-term anti-aging solution.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Sagging Skin family (Air Jet Lifting, Botulinum Toxin Lifting, Ulthera HIFU, Dermal Thread Lifting, Chin Filler Contouring):
- Exosome Therapy: Best for regeneration + elasticity + long-term lifting.
- Dermal Thread Lifting: Best for instant lift.
- Ulthera / Shurink: Best for deep collagen tightening.
- Air Jet Lifting: Best for non-invasive, needle-free tightening.
- Botulinum Toxin Lifting: Best for muscle-pull sagging correction.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: Strengthens dermal structure and improves skin firmness.
- Skin Regeneration: Repairs damaged tissues and restores density.
- Sagging Reduction: Lifts cheeks, jawline, and neck naturally over time.
- Wrinkle Improvement: Softens fine lines and reduces laxity.
- Skin Barrier Strengthening: Improves resilience to external stress.
- Long-Term Anti-Aging: Provides lasting results through cellular renewal.
- Synergy with Other Treatments: Can be combined with threads, HIFU, or PN boosters.
