EXO|E·EXO|GLO·DE|RIVE

Exosome Treatments

EXO|E, EXO|GLO, and DE|RIVE exosome treatments at Sanger Avenue Medical Aesthetics in Waco, Texas

At Sanger Avenue Medical Aesthetics, we're proud to offer one of the most exciting categories of advancement in aesthetic medicine today: exosome-based regenerative therapies.


Exosomes are naturally occurring biological messengers that carry instructions between cells that trigger healing, renewal, and regenerative processes at the cellular level. the EXO|E, EXO|GLO, and DE|RIVE systems harness this technology using 100% plant-based biomimetic secretory factors (or molecules released by a cell or gland into the space outside the cells to communicate with other cells). This delivers the regenerative signals of exosome therapy without animal or human-derived ingredients.


These treatments work in two primary ways:

  1. as powerful standalone skin and scalp revitalization treatments
  2. as amplifiers of our in-office procedures (applied immediately after treatments like SkinPen, Morpheus8, laser resurfacing, or Plasmage to dramatically enhance healing, collagen production, and overall results).


The science is compelling, and the results are even more so.

Key Differences

EXO|E - Skin Revitalizing Complex:

EXO|E is a plant-powered skin revitalization system formulated with biomimetic secretory factors, liposomes, and antioxidants. It supports the skin's natural healing and renewal processes (calming sensitivity, reducing post-procedure redness, and promoting smoother/more balanced/more radiant skin). It's our most versatile exosome treatment and pairs with the broadest range of in-office procedures.


EXO|GLO - Skin Brightening & Radiance:

EXO|GLO focuses specifically on brightness clarity, and overall radiance, making it the ideal exosome treatment for patients targeting pigmentation, dullness, or uneven tone. It pairs particularly well with IPL, laser pigment reduction, and other treatments focused on skin clarity and luminosity.


DE|RIVE - Scalp & Hair Wellness:

DE|RIVE is formulated specifically for scalp health and hair support, delivered most effectively via our Ultra+ device to drive the active ingredients deep into the scalp tissue where they can best support follicle health, improve scalp condition, and promote fuller, healthier hair.

Why Patients Love Exosome Treatments:

  1. 100% plant-based and free of human or animal byproducts
  2. Safe and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin
  3. Dermatologist-tested
  4. Significantly reduces post-procedure redness and downtime
  5. Amplifies collagen production and healing response when paired with in-office treatments
  6. Supports hydration, barrier function, and skin balance
  7. Promotes smoother, brighter, more radiant-looking skin
  8. No downtime as a standalone treatment
  9. Available for both skin and scalp applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What are exosomes and how do they work?

Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles produced by cells that act as biological messengers (carrying proteins, lipids, and genetic signals between cells to trigger healing, renewal, and regenerative processes).


In aesthetic medicine, exosome-based treatments use these biological signals to stimulate collagen production, accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and support overall cellular renewal.


The EXO|E, EXO|GLO, and DE|RIVE systems use plant-derived biomimetic secretory factors that mimic these signals from a 100% clean, plant-based source.

What is the difference between EXO|E, EXO|GLO, and DE|RIVE?

The three products are each formulated for a specific application.


EXO|E is the most versatile: a skin revitalization complex focused on healing, hydration, barrier support, and overall skin renewal that pairs with the broadest range of in-office procedures.


EXO|GLO is specifically formulated for brightness, clarity, and radiance, making it the best choice for patients targeting pigmentation or dullness.


DE|RIVE is formulated specifically for scalp health and hair support.

What is the difference between exosome treatments and PRP?

Both exosome treatments and PRP aim to stimulate skin renewal and healing, but they work differently.


PRP uses a concentration of your own platelets derived from a blood draw to deliver growth factors to the treatment area.


Exosome treatments using EXO|E, EXO|GLO, and DE|RIVE deliver plant-derived biomimetic secretory factors that mimic biological signaling without requiring a blood draw, without human or animal byproducts, and with a cleaner and more consistent formulation.


For many patients, exosome treatments are a great alternative to PRP, especially for those who prefer not to have blood drawn or who want a fully plant-based option.

Are exosome treatments safe for all skin types, and can they be used as a standalone treatment?

EXO|E and EXO|GLO are 100% plant-based, dermatologist-tested, and suitable for all skin types including sensitive, reactive, and post-procedure skin. DE|RIVE is similarly safe for all scalp types. Because the formulations contain no human or animal byproducts, they carry none of the potential allergens or consistency concerns associated with biologically-derived alternatives.


While exosome treatments deliver their most dramatic results when paired with in-office procedures, they are also effective as standalone skin revitalization treatments. EXO|E supports hydration, barrier function, and skin renewal for patients wanting a gentle, no-downtime option for ongoing skin maintenance. EXO|GLO supports brightness and clarity as a standalone radiance treatment. DE|RIVE with Ultra+ is a complete standalone scalp and hair wellness protocol.

How do exosome treatments amplify in-office procedure results?

When applied immediately following treatments like SkinPen, Morpheus8, laser resurfacing, or Plasmage, exosome treatments take advantage of the enhanced tissue permeability created by those procedures. The micro-channels or increased cell membrane permeability allow the exosome actives to penetrate more deeply into the tissue than if it were just a topical application. This helps the exosomes reach the layers where collagen production and cellular signaling are most active. This deeper penetration amplifies the healing response, accelerates collagen production, reduces post-procedure inflammation and redness, and produces a more significant overall improvement than the procedure delivers on its own.

What does treatment feel like? Is there any downtime?

Exosome treatments are among the most comfortable treatments we offer. Applied topically as part of a procedure, there is no discomfort, no needles, and no recovery time. Most patients describe their skin as feeling immediately more hydrated, calm, and comfortable after application, particularly following more intensive procedures where some redness and sensitivity is expected.


Exosome treatments have no downtime as a standalone treatment. When applied post-procedure, they actually help reduce the downtime of the procedure they're paired with by supporting faster healing and reducing post-treatment redness and inflammation.

Why are plant-based exosomes used instead of human or animal-derived exosomes?

Plant-derived biomimetic secretory factors (or, plant-based exosomes) offer several important advantages over human or animal-derived alternatives:

  1. they are free of the ethical considerations and allergy-inducing capacity risks associated with human or animal byproducts
  2. they offer a more consistent and standardized formulation without the biological variability of human-derived products
  3. they are fully clean and suitable for patients who prefer or require non-animal-derived treatments


The biomimetic design means the plant-derived factors are specifically formulated to mimic the biological signals of naturally occurring exosomes as closely as possible, delivering the regenerative benefits through a cleaner source.

What other treatments work well alongside exosome therapies?

Exosome treatments are specifically designed for combination use and pair with virtually every in-office treatment we offer.


EXO|E and EXO|GLO pair most powerfully with:

  1. SkinPen
  2. Morpheus8
  3. CO₂ Resurfacing
  4. Fractionated laser facials
  5. Plasmage
  6. NouvaDERM
  7. IPL
  8. Laser pigment reduction
  9. and treatments targeting skin clarity and brightness


DE|RIVE can be paired with Ultra+ or NouvaDERM Hair Support for scalp and hair wellness.


As standalone treatments, all three integrate naturally into a broader skin health maintenance plan between more intensive procedure sessions. Your provider will recommend the best exosome protocol based on your treatment plan at your consultation.
