Regenerative treatments continue to expand possibilities for patients seeking visible improvement without downtime. At RHMD in Beverly Hills, Raffi Hovsepian, MD, a fellowship-trained, triple board-certified plastic surgeon, offers two advanced regenerative options: DNA peptide therapy and exosome rejuvenation. Each supports skin quality through different biological pathways and can be selected or combined based on your specific goals.
What Are DNA Peptides, and How Do They Work?
DNA peptide treatments, including the YouthLab DNA Repair Complex at RHMD, help counteract cellular stress while supporting hydration and smoother texture. These formulations typically incorporate:
- PDRN: Studied for its wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Peptides: Reinforce the skin’s structural framework.
- Glutathione: Addresses oxidative stress.
- Hyaluronic acid: Restores hydration and suppleness.
Each treatment is applied with precision after cleansing, followed by medical-grade aftercare that supports the skin’s renewal process.
How Do Exosomes Rejuvenate the Skin?
Exosome therapy uses extracellular carriers that deliver proteins, growth factors, and signaling molecules that support healthier cellular activity. Their benefits include:
- Enhanced communication: Supports more efficient repair responses.
- Concentrated growth factors: Refines texture and reinforces tone.
- Regenerative signaling: Encourages greater improvements in overall quality.
- Versatile integration: Works independently or paired with advanced procedures.
Exosomes are commonly paired with RF microneedling. Microneedling initiates a controlled renewal response, while exosomes provide concentrated support during this critical window. Together, they can refine tone, reduce visible textural changes, and enhance overall skin quality over time.
Key Differences Between DNA Peptides and Exosomes
While both treatments support regeneration, they differ in important ways:
- Primary function: DNA peptides replenish the skin with restorative ingredients, while exosomes deliver concentrated signals that support deeper cellular activity.
- Ideal pairing: DNA peptides function effectively alone; exosomes often enhance device-based treatments such as microneedling.
- Depth of effect: DNA peptides are well-suited for early signs of aging and radiance. Exosomes are more effective in addressing texture and sun-related changes.
- Treatment experience: Peptide-focused treatments may involve mild flaking, while exosome therapies integrate seamlessly with needling or energy-based procedures.
Which Treatment Is Better: DNA Peptides or Exosomes?
No single treatment suits every patient. DNA peptides can enhance hydration, elasticity, and clarity with minimal downtime. Exosomes may be more suitable for patients seeking significant improvements in texture and tone, especially when combined with microneedling.
A combined, sequenced plan can also be effective. Exosomes can address deeper concerns, while DNA peptides support ongoing skin balance and resilience.
