Chernoff G (2021) The Utilization of Human Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived Exosomes in Aging Skin: An Investigational Pilot Study. J Surg 6: 1388. DOI: 10.29011/2575-9760.001388
Forty patients were enrolled in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo (saline) controlled study. There were 20 patients in the treatment group and 20 patients in the saline control group. Each group underwent facial microneedling with immediate topical application of either 5 billion exosomes suspended in saline, or saline alone. Treatments were repeated at 30, 60, and 90 days, with final analysis at 120 days. Standardized photography was coupled with 3-dimensional analysis utilizing the Quantificare Imaging System. Linear analog tests were also administered to objectify patient satisfaction.
There were no adverse reactions, allergic, or hypersensitivity reactions reported. The exosome treatment group showed improved tone, quality, and clarity of their skin compared to the control group (p < .0001), with a reduction in pores, pigment, oiliness, and improvement in evenness of skin. There was a constant progression of satisfaction with results in the treatment group from 30 to 120 days, compared with a high degree of dissatisfaction with results in the control group.
