Regenerative medicine comes in many forms, and an emerging treatment that is helping patients in all walks of life is known as exosome therapy. This therapy works on a cellular level, improving the patient at their very core. But what exactly is exosome therapy, and how is it applied in the field of regenerative medicine? We answer those questions and more in today’s blog on exosome therapy.
What Is Exosome Therapy?
To understand more about exosome therapy, it’s first helpful to understand what an exosome is. Exosomes are incredibly small fluid-filled sacs that aid in cellular communication. They originate from different cell types, including stem cells, and they play a pivotal role in influencing cellular behavior and delivering messages between cells.
As our bodies get older, or as a result of other causes like injury, stress or other underlying health conditions, the amount of exosomes or their ability to function ideally can fade, leading to a host of issues. Inefficient exosome function can lead to issues like:
- Inflammation
- Fatigue
- Hair loss
- Wrinkles
- Joint discomfort
- Immune system disorders
The Benefits Of Exosome Therapy
Fortunately, regenerative medicine experts have discovered that we can target these exosomes, improve their size and their function, and restore some balance at the cellular level. Derived from stem cells and your own body, we can create an exosome infusion that can be delivered intravenously, topically or through a precisely administered injection to a particular location. Many patients will notice an improvement in symptoms after only one therapy session, but others may achieve best results by pursuing treatment on multiple occasions.
Some of the unique benefits of exosome therapy include:
- Natural Wellness – Exosome therapy improves the body’s innate regenerative capability at the cellular level with substances it knows and understands.
- Minimally Invasive – The therapy can be delivered with a topical medication, injected or administered intravenously.
- Address Different Issues – Targeting the problem at the cellular level can improve a variety of health issues, like inflammation, skin health, hair loss and more.
- Increased Healing/Recovery – Certain groups, like athletes or individuals recovering after surgery, may find that the healing process is expedited when standard treatments are paired with a regenerative collaboration like exosome therapy.
- Low Cost – Compared to surgery and other costly health conditions exosome therapy can help to prevent and treat, it can present a great cost savings to the patient.
