Exosomes as Emerging Therapeutics in Aesthetic and Regenerative Medicine: A Scoping Review

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles secreted by various cell types that have caught significant attention in recent years for their potential roles in intercellular communication and as carriers of biomolecules such as proteins, lipids and RNA. These properties make exosomes promising candidates in the field of anti-aging research. This article explores the multifaceted roles of exosomes in aging processes and their potential applications in cosmetology for anti-aging effects. Exosomes are involved in modulating inflammation, promoting tissue regeneration and facilitating the removal of cellular waste, all of which are critical factors in aging and longevity. Furthermore, their ability to transfer bioactive molecules between cells makes them an effective tool for rejuvenating aging tissues and reversing cellular dysfunction. In this chapter, we discuss recent advancements in exosome-based therapies, including their use in stem cell-based regenerative medicine, anti-inflammatory treatments and the modulation of senescence-associated pathways.
