About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the potential effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived suspended exosome therapy on facial skin quality using objective imaging analysis. Forty adult participants will receive intradermal exosome applications in three treatment sessions performed at one-month intervals. Facial skin analysis will be conducted using the VISIA imaging system before each treatment session and six months after the final treatment. The study will examine changes in multiple facial skin characteristics including wrinkles, pigmentation, skin texture, pores, UV spots, red areas, brown spots, and porphyrins to determine whether exosome therapy may improve overall facial skin quality.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in composite VISIA absolute score

Absolute scores will be obtained for each VISIA skin parameter, including wrinkles, skin texture irregularities, pore size, ultraviolet (UV) spots, red areas, brown spots, and porphyrins. The VISIA system calculates absolute scores based on the size, intensity, and total affected area of the detected features within each parameter. A composite score will be generated by calculating the mean of the absolute scores across all evaluated parameters. Changes in the composite VISIA absolute score between baseline and the six-month follow-up after the final treatment session will be analyzed to assess overall changes in facial skin quality.

Time frame
Baseline to 6 months after the final treatment session

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in VISIA wrinkle feature count

Evaluation of changes in VISIA wrinkle feature count between baseline and the final follow-up assessment.

Time frame
