Foreign hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Skin Anarchy. Today's a very awesome episode because we're going to be diving into the world of exosomes and I can't wait to really dive into the nitty gritty with you guys. We have a wonderful guest who can really educate us on this topic. If you're involved in the aesthetics world, you've heard of exosomes and they've come up at some point. So without further ado, I want to introduce you guys, the president of Juvexo, Brian Platt. Welcome, Brian.

Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Very excited to be on. And one of my favorite, favorite topics, exosomes. I think I almost named my second child exosomes. Just wanted to give you a little bit of a background on the history as to how we got here and how exosomes became hot in the aesthetic space for a long time. Understanding exosomes, back from your biology day, they actually, they were considered cellular waste. They thought stem cells would secrete these exosomes and it was just cellular waste. In reality, exosomes are tiny nano vesicles secreted from cells and carry the message. So they're messeng that regenerative message from the healthy cell to the damaged cell. As science has continued to improve and companies such as ours have, have continued to invest in the R and D, pushing the envelope as to, hey, how amazing everything the body gives you right from these stem cells. Obviously we've heard of stem cells in many contexts. Today I'm going to be focusing primarily as it pertains to aesthetics. We've been in the cell therapy space for almost 20 years. Our chief science officer and the brainchild Behind Juvexo is Dr. Rafael, a pioneer in the cell therapy space. As he was working on stem cells, he came up with this product which we were calling liquid gold in the lab. He was able to get our stem cells to secrete not just exosomes, right? Because I want to also not just emphasize what exosomes are, but the importance in distinguishing and understanding why all exosomes are not created equal. And which, what should you be looking for when finding the right exosome product for a cosmetic or aesthetic procedure.

So just to get our audience lined up, Brian, let me start from the beginning with you. I want you to walk us through this. So let's talk about what are exosomes and where do they come from? Let's start there so that everybody can have an understanding.

Exosomes are secreted by stem cells, right? I'M highlighting stem cells because that's where ours are derived from. But they will secrete exosomes. Exosomes are the ones that carry the message, this regenerative message from the healthy cell to the damaged cell. Right. But ex component, we actually call ours secretomes because it's not just the fact that there's exosomes being secreted because they by themselves would not pack the full punch of what the intended outcome, but it's who are, who's at the party with the exosomes that are important. So if I asked you, doc, give me two ingredients that you definitely would want to have in a skin product, what would you say?
