Cover Story: Recent advancements in aesthetic medicine have introduced innovative solutions to enhance skin quality and appearance, addressing aging, pigmentation imbalance, loss of elasticity, hair loss, and scars. Exosomes—nanoscale vesicles crucial for intercellular communication—have emerged as key players in tissue regeneration. Clinically proven to provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and rejuvenating effects, exosomes, stem cell secretomes, and cell culture-conditioned media are gaining traction in the cosmetic industry. Human-, animal-, and plant-derived exosomes are seen as promising for skin prejuvenation, rejuvenation, scar management, and hair regrowth. This review highlights their mechanisms and explores their future applications in medical aesthetics. View this paper
