EXOSOMES IN AESTHETIC BIOMEDICINE: REGENERATIVE POTENTIAL AND APPLICATIONS IN AESTHETIC THERAPIES

Abstract

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles involved in intercellular communication that have garnered significant interest in aesthetic biomedicine due to their regenerative and therapeutic potential. This study aims to analyze the applications of exosomes in regenerative aesthetics, highlighting their mechanisms of action, benefits, limitations, and clinical challenges. It is a descriptive, exploratory, qualitative literature review based on the analysis of scientific articles published between 2021 and 2026, retrieved from the PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, Periódicos CAPES, and ScienceDirect databases. The study intends to demonstrate that exosomes play a key role in tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis, inflammatory modulation, and skin rejuvenation, thereby contributing to less invasive and more effective aesthetic treatments. However, it also addresses limitations regarding the standardization of isolation, storage, and therapeutic application methods, as well as the need for further clinical studies to confirm their efficacy and safety. Thus, this research seeks to expand scientific knowledge on the use of exosomes in aesthetic biomedicine and their future prospects within regenerative medicine.
