Exosomes seem to be everywhere right now, and I get asked about them almost every single day. But before you spend hundreds of dollars on one of these products, I wanted to break down what the science actually says. In this episode, I sit down with Alisa Lask, CEO of Rion Aesthetics and the mind behind Plated Skin Science, to talk about what exosomes really are, why the source matters so much, and how platelet-derived exosomes compare to plant and stem cell versions.
We get into how these particles actually penetrate the skin, whether microneedling helps or damages them, how long it realistically takes to see results, and the safety behind using donor-derived platelets. We also cover where the research stands on hair loss, cellular aging, and FDA approval status, plus the red flags I want you to watch for before you buy.
This episode is not sponsored. I use this product myself and wanted to share the science behind why.
