What are Exosomes?
Described as extracellular vesicles or nanoparticles, exosomes are secreted by most cells and contain proteins, peptides and other substances. Due to their regenerative and ant-inflammatory properties, exosomes hold significant implications for vaginal rejuvenation and women’s health.
Reasons for getting Exosome Treatment
Patients opt for exosome treatment to improve dyspareunia-related discomfort and vaginal atrophic symptoms.
These may include:
- Itching sensation
- Burning sensation
- Dryness
- Inflammation
Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus
Exosomes have emerged as a promising treatment for lichen sclerosus, particularly for patients who do not respond well to traditional therapies like estrogen and steroid creams. These tiny vesicles, derived from stem cells, carry growth factors and proteins that can aid in tissue repair and regeneration. When applied to affected areas, exosomes may help reduce inflammation, improve skin elasticity, and alleviate symptoms such as itching and dryness. This innovative approach offers hope for improved management of lichen sclerosus, providing relief and enhancing the quality of life for those struggling with this chronic condition. However, more research is needed to fully understand their effectiveness and to establish their role in treatment.
How does Exosome Treatment work?
The topical application of exosome treatment encourages tissue revitalisation, increased elasticity and vaginal health through producing signalling molecules that stimulate cellular repair and collagen synthesis. In the vulvo-vaginal area, exosomes have been shown to renew and repair tissues by stimulating fibroblasts. Additionally, exosomes have been found to create new blood vessels from vascular permeability, stimulate immunomodulation and decrease induced oxidative stress.
In Dr Li’s clinic, ASCEplus IRLV exosome treatment can be applied with local anaesthetic cream to the damaged vulva area to improve vaginal health. This treatment can be combined with FemiLift laser or Morpheus8V to improve dyspareunia-related symptoms including itching, burning and lichen sclerosus.
Overall, this innovative treatment provides women
with a non-invasive and safe solution for intimate wellness
