Exosomes in Encinitas, CA
Sometimes the best solution for treating aesthetic concerns is actually the combination of two solutions! At Your Cosmetic Office in Encinitas, California, we offer the use of topical exosomes as an add-on to non-surgical treatments using
devices. Double-board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Mario Yco is highly skilled in the art of combining facial rejuvenation techniques to achieve the most effective and natural-looking enhancements.
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny particles that are secreted by nearly all cells in the human body. These particles can contain lipids, peptides, amino acids, proteins, growth factors, and other genetic materials. For the purpose of in-office skincare, exosomes are extracted from human stem cells and then kept frozen to keep them stabilized. Exosome therapy in particular means applying the exosomes to the skin after resurfacing treatments like microneedling or lasers.
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS: THE IMPACT OF YCO
Who Is a Candidate for Exosomes?
The ideal candidate for Exosome therapy is an individual who is having a resurfacing procedure done via a laser or microneedling device and would like to reduce their healing/downtime. Because exosomes are not irritating, almost everyone is able to tolerate them, especially if you can handle a laser treatment. Exosomes are a great addition to treatments that are being done before a big event. The best way to determine your candidacy is by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Yco at Your Cosmetic Office.
Exosome Procedure
Immediately following a procedure using a laser or microneedles, such as Co2 laser resurfacing. Dr. Yco will apply the exosomes to your face. They are in the form of a gel-like serum that will go on very smoothly. Because the exosomes are stored frozen, they will provide a cooling and soothing sensation that offers immediate relief following a procedure.
Post-Op Care
Exosomes as a topical treatment do not require any specific downtime or aftercare. Because Dr. Yco will recommend exosomes in conjunction with another resurfacing treatment, it is important that you follow the recovery instructions for that procedure. Exosomes do significantly shorten the recovery time of treatments, making them a great addition for those who want a speedier recovery.
