Summary

This completed Phase 4 trial tested whether applying exosomes (tiny particles from cells) to the face with a microneedling device can reduce signs of skin aging. Thirty men and women over 50 with wrinkles and other aging signs received three treatments, each four weeks apart. Researchers measured changes in skin elasticity, wrinkles, roughness, pigmentation, redness, and pore size, along with patient satisfaction.
