In the world of regenerative medicine and aesthetic science, the conversation around growth factors and exosomes has taken center stage. A groundbreaking shift is happening in how we approach skin and hair rejuvenation, moving beyond traditional methods to harness the power of platelet-derived exosomes. This leap is transforming the way we address aging and overall skin health. Here’s why Plated could be the future of skincare and hair restoration.
Understanding Exosomes: The Cellular Communicators
Exosomes are tiny vesicles secreted by cells that allow them to communicate with one another. Historically, scientists have been aware of exosomes, but only now are they able to harness their potential for cosmetic and medical use. These small but mighty messengers can vary significantly depending on their source, which makes source selection critical.
Exosomes derived from platelets, the body's natural first responders to injury, have emerged as an ideal source for therapeutic use. Unlike stem cells, which can be unpredictable due to their heterogenous origin (from fat, bone marrow, or umbilical cord), platelet-derived exosomes are consistent and focused on renewal and regeneration.
Plated vs. Traditional Growth Factors
Traditional growth factors, though discovered as far back as the 1950s, are now considered outdated by comparison. Growth factors often have a singular signal pathway focused on growth, while exosomes deliver multiple pathways that focus on renewal, regeneration, and overall skin health. Plus, growth factors are often too large to penetrate the skin’s surface, while Plated exosomes are designed for optimal absorption with or without additional procedures like microneedling.
Why Platelet-Derived Exosomes?
Historically, growth factors and stem cells have dominated regenerative treatments, but they come with limitations, particularly when it comes to quality control and storage issues. Stem cell cultures often require serum from platelets, highlighting the key role platelets play in renewal. This is where Plated steps in—offering platelet-derived exosomes that provide a more consistent, safe, and effective alternative.
Key benefits of platelet-derived exosomes:
No DNA or genetic material, reducing the risk of transmitting genetic diseases.
Room temperature stability due to advanced biomanufacturing processes, unlike traditional exosomes that require cold storage.
Consistent batch quality, with multiple pooled donors providing safety and efficacy.
Renewosome™ Technology, a patented innovation by RION, ensures the exosomes are shelf-stable for over 12 months.
How Do Platelets Transform Your Skin?
Platelets are the body's natural first responders to injury, sending signals to regenerate and repair tissues. By using Plated products topically, you’re harnessing this innate power to:
Boost collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, more resilient skin.
Provide antioxidant protection, shielding skin from environmental and internal damage.
Reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
Improve luminosity, making your skin appear healthier and more radiant.
In a clinical trial involving 56 patients aged 40-85, twice-daily application of Plated products over six weeks to six months showed measurable improvements in wrinkles, skin tone, and overall skin health. Quantifiable results using VISIA technology revealed how Plated can penetrate the skin without the need for microneedling, providing significant anti-aging benefits.
Plated Hair Science: Fuller, Stronger Hair
Plated isn’t just transforming skin care—it’s also offering promising solutions for hair health. The Plated Hair Science product line, which features 100% platelet-derived exosomes, supports scalp health by activating key pathways (Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K-AKT) to improve hair volume and reduce breakage.
This topical product is designed to synergize with existing hair care routines, enhancing treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and prolonging the anagen phase (growth phase) of hair. A recent study found that all participants (ages 18-65) experienced improved scalp coverage after using Plated for six to nine months.
The Future of Exosome Technology
While the field of exosome therapy is still emerging, Plated stands out by conducting thorough FDA-approved studies and publishing its findings in respected medical journals. The ongoing research validates the safety, efficacy, and potential of exosomes, positioning them as the next frontier in aesthetic medicine.
Conclusion
Plated’s exosome-based technology is setting a new standard for skin and hair rejuvenation. With consistent, daily use, it addresses the root causes of aging rather than just masking symptoms. If you’re seeking advanced skincare and hair restoration that combines cutting-edge science with proven results, Plated could be the answer.
By leveraging the renewing power of platelets, Plated offers a sophisticated, safe, and effective alternative to traditional growth factors, helping you achieve healthier, more youthful skin and hair—without invasive procedures.
