Exosomes: The Regenerative Treatment Chicago’s Western Suburbs Didn’t Know They Needed
There’s a moment in aesthetic medicine when something shifts from “cutting edge” to “essential.” Botox had that moment. Microneedling had it. Exosome therapy is having that moment right now — and at Accelerated Aesthetics in Elmhurst, IL, we’ve been offering it as both a standalone therapy and a powerful add-on to microneedling and laser protocols.
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny messenger vesicles released by stem cells. Think of them as your skin’s internal text message system — carrying signals between cells that coordinate repair, regeneration, and communication. In aesthetic medicine, we harness stem cell-derived exosomes and deliver them directly to the skin, supercharging your skin’s own regenerative processes with a flood of growth factors, peptides, and genetic signals that tell your skin to behave like younger, healthier tissue.
How Is This Different from PRP?
- More targeted signaling — exosomes carry a highly specific cargo of growth factors and microRNAs
- More consistent — results don’t vary based on your individual platelet count
- No blood draw required — simpler and more comfortable
- More growth factors — billions of exosomes per application
What Can Exosome Therapy Treat?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of skin firmness and elasticity
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Post-treatment recovery after microneedling, laser, or peels
- Overall skin quality and glow
How We Use Exosomes at Accelerated Aesthetics
Standalone treatment: Applied topically with zero downtime. Great for clients wanting meaningful improvement without any recovery time.
With microneedling (our most popular pairing): Exosomes flood the microchannels immediately after needling, reaching deep into the dermis. Dramatically faster healing, more significant collagen stimulation, and results clients describe as beyond what microneedling alone delivered.
With laser treatments: Applied after laser resurfacing, exosomes accelerate recovery and amplify results with less redness and faster healing.
