Skin rejuvenation therapies have evolved far beyond basic skincare
From cutting-edge exosome technology (ASCE+ SRLV) to well-established treatments like PRP, Skin Boosters, and Polynucleotides (PNs), each method offers unique advantages depending on your skin’s needs. This comparison helps you choose what suits your skin best—whether you seek hydration, regeneration, repair, or natural glow
🔍 Feature | 🧬 ASCE+ SRLV (Exosomes) | 🩸 PRP | 💧 Skin Boosters | 🧪 Polynucleotides (PNs) |
---|---|---|---|---|
🔬 Source | Lab-derived stem cell exosomes | Your own blood (centrifuged) | Hyaluronic acid (synthetic/biotech) | Salmon DNA-derived molecules |
✨ Main Function | Regeneration, inflammation reduction, collagen boost | Tissue healing, collagen stimulation | Deep hydration and plumping | DNA repair and skin renewal |
📌 Best For | Dullness, pigmentation, aging, post-laser recovery | Fine lines, scars, under-eye texture | Dry, tired-looking skin, early aging | Sensitive, rosacea-prone, healing support |
✔️ Ideal For | Who wants advanced results without using their own blood (unlike PRP), and it’s particularly effective for sensitive, aged, or post-procedure skin | Who wants natural rejuvenation without synthetic ingredients | Who wants more on hydration and volume rather than cellular repair | Who uniquely suited for sensitive, inflamed, or post-acne-prone skin, making them a favorite for rosacea and barrier-impaired skin |
✅ Benefits | • Stimulates collagen and elastin • Reduces inflammation • Accelerates post-laser and microneedling recovery • Evens skin tone and texture • No blood required • Fast healing, minimal downtimen |
• Natural autologous treatment using your own blood • Promotes tissue healing and collagen production • Improves under-eye hollows, scars, and texture • Safe for most skin types |
• Deep, long-lasting hydration • Improves elasticity, plumpness, and glow • Minimally invasive with quick recovery • Good option for all skin types • Can be used preventatively |
• Repairs DNA damage at cellular level • Enhances barrier function • Calms inflammation and supports healing • Excellent for rosacea, redness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation |
⚠️ Risks | • Temporary redness or sensitivity • Mild swelling at application site • Rare allergic reaction to peptides or excipients |
• Mild bruising, swelling, or pain • Risk of infection if not sterile • Results vary based on patient’s platelet quality |
• Small bumps at injection sites • Bruising or redness • Rare chance of lumpiness or uneven texture if improperly injected |
• Mild redness or sensitivity post-injection
• Temporary swelling or itching • Slight discomfort during injection process |
🎯 Treatment Areas | Face, neck, hands, décolletage | Face, scalp, under-eyes | Face, neck, hands | Face, neck, under-eyes |
🛠 Application Method | Microneedling, RF, post-laser | Microneedling or injections | Microinjections (mesotherapy) | Microneedling or microinjections |
🗓 Sessions Needed | 3–6 every 2–4 weeks | 3–4 every 4 weeks | 3–4 every 2–3 weeks | 3–5 every 2–4 weeks |
⌛ Downtime | Minimal | Minimal to mild | Minimal | Minimal to none |
🌟 Visible Results | Glowing, firm, smooth skin in 2–4 weeks | Texture, brightness, repair in 2–3 weeks | Hydrated, plump skin in 1–2 weeks | Improved clarity, calmness in 2–3 weeks |
