Bringing advanced treatments and technologies to our Madison, CT patients to improve their health and wellness is at the heart of everything we do at LIVation. We’re known for our vitamin infusion therapy and affordable semaglutide weight loss shots; our latest cutting-edge offering is exosome therapy.

Treatment with exosomes is one of the buzziest topics right now in skincare, beauty, and wellness. People are calling it “the new PRP,” but the truth is that exosomes are even more effective and powerful than platelet-rich plasma. The benefits of exosomes—and their regenerative properties—make them an invaluable addition to your wellness regimen.

What are exosomes?

Until recently, exosomes were believed to be cellular waste, but they’re actually quite the opposite—a cellular goldmine! Exosomes are vesicles released by cells. Think of exosomes as care packages that your cells are shipping out to other cells; each package is absolutely stuffed with molecular goodies, including proteins, lipids, mRNA, and growth factors. Those exosomes are helping cells communicate with other cells, telling them what to do. And there’s so much that cells can do when they have exosomes—exosomes can trigger potent regenerative properties, which is why exosome therapy has become so popular. 

Where do exosomes come from?

Exosomes are released by a variety of different kinds of cells, but the type of cells matter. Though some products use plant-derived exosomes, the best exosome treatments are actually derived from humans. A few common sources of exosomes include platelet cells and placenta cells, but at LIVation, we use AnteAge exosomes. AnteAge sources their exosomes from stem cells in bone marrow and Wharton’s Jelly, a substance found inside the umbilical cord. 

How do exosomes work in treatments at LIVation? 

There are many benefits of exosomes: The molecules inside exosomes promote healing, strength, and rejuvenation and can do a wide variety of things, depending on how they’re used. When used on the skin, exosome facials can stimulate new collagen production, which helps firm, smooth, and tighten skin, repair sun damage, reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and much more.

In addition to offering professional exosome treatments at LIVation, we have a selection of AnteAge topical skincare products available for purchase that are formulated with growth factors and cytokines. Using these formulas at home will help support the results of your in-office exosome therapy.

How are exosomes used at LIVation?

To get the best results, we do microneedling with exosomes at our Madison, Connecticut clinic. The tiny channels created by microneedling help the exosomes get even deeper into the skin during an exosome facial. The better and more deeply your skin can absorb the exosomes, the easier it is for them to get to work. 

When being treated with exosome therapy at LIVation, you’ll receive your microneedling treatment, then we’ll activate the AnteAge exosome solution so it is perfectly fresh. Each vial contains more than 10 billion exosomes to deliver powerful regenerative benefits. 

Are exosomes safe?

There is some controversy around exosomes due to their regenerative properties. There are rumors circulating that exosome treatment increases the risk of cancer. At LIVation, we take health and wellness extremely seriously, and we would never incorporate a new treatment into our menu if we believed it was dangerous or if the science behind any potential technologies looked questionable in any way. After analyzing the clinical research, we evaluated all the top exosome therapy options on the market to ensure we only brought the best exosomes to our Madison, Connecticut clients. 

We use AnteAge exosomes because of the brand’s commitment to safety. While other brands outsource the manufacturing process, AnteAge sources, develops, and produces its exosome products in its own ISO-certified lab in the United States. AnteAge also derives its exosomes from healthy American donors—the bone marrow stem cell exosomes come from healthy, athletic women aged 18 to 24, while the Wharton’s Jelly stem cell exosomes are sourced from umbilical cords from live births.

AnteAge’s exosomes are carefully honed to be antiinflammatory rather than proliferative, meaning they’re designed to suppress the growth of malignant cells. AnteAge exosomes are oncology approved, formulated to be safe for those with compromised immune systems, as well as approved for pregnant and breastfeeding women. However, we always encourage our clients to thoroughly share their medical history and ask questions to ensure the treatments at our Connecticut shoreline clinic are right for you.

What does microneedling with exosomes cost at LIVation?

At LIVation, each radiofrequency microneedling exosome facial costs $695. Our treatments are completely customizable and we can work with you to address your unique concerns. To learn more about exosome treatment at our Madison, CT clinic, contact us today.
