Exosomes vs Polynucleotides : Are we Regenearting Skin or Just Rebranding it
Exosomes vs Polynucleotides: What Does Your Skin Really Need?
Regenerative aesthetics has become a major trend, with exosomes and polynucleotides increasingly promoted as advanced treatments for healthier, younger-looking skin. But are they the same, and is newer always better?
The answer is no. Exosomes and polynucleotides are different approaches with different biological roles. Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles involved in cell-to-cell communication and can carry proteins, lipids and RNA. However, not every product marketed as an “exosome” is the same, as sources, manufacturing methods and levels of characterisation can vary.
Polynucleotides, meanwhile, are DNA-derived molecules used in aesthetic medicine to support skin quality and regeneration. They are increasingly used to address concerns such as skin texture, hydration and elasticity.
The most important point is that neither treatment should be chosen simply because it is trending. Skin concerns differ from person to person. Fine lines, pigmentation, redness, laxity, volume loss and damaged skin may require completely different approaches.
At Dr Hans Clinics, the focus is on understanding the patient before recommending a treatment. A thorough assessment can help determine whether exosomes, polynucleotides or another treatment is more suitable for your individual concerns and goals.
Regenerative aesthetics is an exciting field, but informed decisions matter more than marketing claims. The right treatment isn't always the newest one - it is the treatment that best matches your skin and clinical needs.
If you’ve spent any time around aesthetic medicine over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed that one word has quietly taken over alm
