A carbon facial, also known as a carbon peel, is a popular skin treatment that involves applying a thin layer of medical-grade carbon to the skin's surface, followed by the use of a laser to heat and remove the carbon particles. The heat generated by the laser stimulates collagen production and exfoliates the skin, resulting in a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion. Carbon peel facials are suitable for all skin types and can help to address a range of skin concerns, including acne, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. The treatment is painless, with minimal downtime, and can be performed in a relatively short amount of time. Carbon peel facials are becoming increasingly popular due to their immediate results and ability to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.

FAQ about Exosome/growth factor/stem cell treatment

Exosomes are small vesicles secreted by stem cells which carry signaling proteins, growth factors , RNA particles and affect specific cellular responses in the other cells. This is a revolutionary step forward in regenerative aesthetics as these exosomes can be used to essentially signal unhealthy cells to heal better, generate more collagen, elastin etc, and even deliver actives into the cells in a manner which ensures a better uptake.
Peptides are amino acids that are the building blocks of certain proteins needed by the skin, such as collagen and elastin. They are often combined with growth factors and stem cell treatments to enhance the results of the procedure.
Growth factors are special proteins that play a key role in the regulation of physiological processes. They are produced and secreted by skin cells such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and melanocytes. One type of these growth factors is cytokines, which are involved in regulating the immune system and repairing the skin. Many growth factors are involved in wound healing, both chronic and acute in nature. Successful skin restoration requires a balance between the function of multiple growth factors and cytokines. Various clinical studies have demonstrated a significant increase in the production of new collagen following the topical application of a physiologically balanced growth factors mixture.
Stem cells are the body's raw materials, from which all other cells with specialised functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells can divide to form more cells known as daughter cells.
Exosomes can be combined with other radiofrequency or laser treatments to enhance the results and speed up the healing process. Some treatments that Exosome facials can be combined with include peels, laser resurfacing, microneedling, and microneedling with radiofrequency.
Exosome treatment has been used to successfully treat a variety of issues and conditions. These include pigmentation issues, wrinkles, hydration and nourishment of the skin, a more radiant and even toned complexion, acne scarring, rosacea, and alopecia (hair loss). It can also visibly reduce the appearance of age-related pigment, fine lines, and wrinkles, and make the skin appear firmer and more youthful. Its powerful potential for regeneration also aides in wound healing, acne scars and general skin improvement particularly in sensitive skin.
Studies have shown that exosome treatment can be extremely effective in reducing the appearance of acne scarring, aiding in tissue repair, reinvigorating damaged hair follicles, increasing production of collagen, aiding in healing of damaged skin cells, and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. As the body ages, it produces fewer exosomes, leading to issues such as skin laxity, muscle atrophy, wrinkles, and more. Exosomes may be derived from stem cells, but they are able to be used in a targeted manner, unlike stem cells.
They can help stimulate growth and healing, rejuvenate skin, promote collagen growth, improve fine lines and wrinkles naturally, and aid in hair restoration. They are also widely used in wound healing and other orthopaedic applications.
Yes, stem cell treatment can help with repairing skin damage. Skin is able to harvest its own stem cells in the epidermis and hair follicles, which are essential for skin regeneration. These stem cells also aid in wound repair, leading to the restoration of tissue integrity and the functioning of damaged tissue.
Some discomfort may be experienced during the procedure, but overall this treatment is generally painless. A numbing cream is applied to make the procedure more comfortable, as it involves microneedling.
Typically, three to four sessions spaced about six weeks apart are recommended for stem cell and growth factor treatments with microneedling.
Most patients notice improvements after three weeks, and some may start to see them after six to eight weeks. Once the improvement begins, it will continue for at least six months.
