EXOSOMES

• What are Exosomes?

  • Exosomes are responsible for cell to cell communication. Exosomes are nano- sized vesicles constantly released by almost all cells. They transfer numerous growth factors and cytokines that have shown to improve skin cells and repair tissue.

• What is in our Exosome Complex?

  • Our Regenerative Exosome Complex harnesses the power of over 5 billion lyophilized exosomes, 14 potent growth factors,19 peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Biotin coenzymes & minerals for deep rejuvenation and a 24/7 glow.

• What do Exosomes do?

  • Exosomes offer a range of powerful skin-rejuvenating benefits. They visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, noticeably improve skin texture, and deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. Exosomes also help promote a more radiant, even-toned complexion while soothing redness and irritation. When used with treatments like microneedling, they can cut recovery time by up to 50%, making them a game-changer in advanced skincare.

• How long have Exosomes been around?

  • In 2018 Exosomes were used to alleviate atopic dermatitis. In 2020 Exosomes were proven in a variety of different studies to show numerous benefits for skin rejuvenation. Benev Exosome Technology was officially launched in 2021 and in 2022 it was voted as #1 post topical treatment solution in the U.S.

• How are Exosomes applied?

  • Exosomes are applied topically one of two ways - after Microneedling (which we call our Exosome Glow), or via our AquaGold Device, which we call AquaGold Glow.

  • Exosomes are formulated with additional growth factors, peptides, biotin, and vitamin C. Exosomes enhance treatment results and cut down time by 50%.

  • Growth factors play a pivotal role in maintaining firmness and elasticity in your skin.

  • Daily use of growth factors, such as applying Plated Intense or Plated Daily, is known to help reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, and improves skin tone & texture.

• What do Exosomes feel like?

  • Our goal is to provide full transparency about what to expect during the treatment process. As we have performed numerous treatments on individuals with varying skin types, we have observed that the experience may differ from person to person. Factors such as skin health, sensitivity, and thickness can influence how exosomes are perceived by each individual. Some may feel a cold, intense tingling sensation, while others may experience a subtle burning sensation. However, it's important to note that any discomfort experienced during the treatment usually subsides after 10 minutes.

• How long will it take to see results?

  • For optimal results, we recommend 3 Microneedling Exosome Glow treatments spaced 6 weeks apart. Visible results can be noticed after 1 treatment!

• Why is SkinVive important?

  • As we age, our skin naturally loses hyaluronic acid (HA), an essential component that keeps skin hydrated, smooth, and supple. This loss contributes to dryness, roughness, and the development of fine lines, especially in areas like the cheeks. HA plays a vital role in maintaining the skin's moisture balance, giving it a healthy, glowing appearance.

• What is SkinVive?

  • SkinVive is the first of its kind! Distinguished as a "skin booster," it's hyaluronic acid that's injected as microdroplets below the surface of the skin that focuses on skin hydration rather than volume repletion. SkinVive is a modified form of HA (hyaluronic acid) that helps the skin retain its natural moisture, which improves skin smoothness and fine lines of cheeks.

  • Unlike dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane, which are used for specific facial contouring like plumping lips or defining cheekbones, SkinVive takes a different approach. SkinVive, taps into the moisture-attracting qualities of hyaluronic acid to boost skin hydration and enhance texture. SkinVive is all about enhancing your skin's radiance without changing what makes your face uniquely yours.
    

• What does SkinVive do?

  • SkinVive increases hydration and cheek smoothness leading to glowing, refreshed, and radiant skin for 6 months.

• Where can I get SkinVive?

  • SkinVive is great for improving skin quality or address fine lines or crepey skin, such as:

    • Smile Lines

    • Lip Lines

    • Neck Lines

    • Cheeks

    • Crows Feet

    • Nasolabial Folds

    • Hands

• Does getting SkinVive hurt?

  • SkinVive injections can involve mild discomfort, so we apply topical numbing for 15-30 minutes prior to the procedure. The treatment itself lasts 15-20 minutes and involves full cheek superficial injections.

• How soon will I see results?

  • You can typically start to see results from SkinVive around 1-2 weeks, but the full effects peak at one month.

• What should I expect following treatment?

  • After the treatment, you may experience injection site redness, swelling, lumps/bumps, pinpoint bruising, tenderness, discoloration and itching that may last for the 24-48 hours. You'll begin to observe desirable results at 1-2 weeks, with the peak effect typically occurring around one month, and these results last six months.
    

• Is there downtime?

  • In terms of downtime, most individuals can resume their daily routines immediately after the treatment, following some simple aftercare instructions provided by our professionals. It’s important to note that you want to minimize exercise for the first 24 hours to reduce the risk of further swelling or bruising. It is also recommended to avoid makeup for the first 12 hours.
