Exosomes in Skin Rejuvenation: Systematic Review of Anti-Aging Effects and Clinical Applications.
Review in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionExosomes, tiny extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different cell types, are gaining attention in dermatology due to their unique properties. They enhance cell communication, transport bioactive substances, and influence immune responses, making them valuable for skin regeneration, wound healing, and addressing skin conditions.
objectivesThis systematic review explored current evidence regarding the efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of exosomes in skin rejuvenation. METHODOLOGY: The search strategy included several databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, Wiley, Web of Science, and EBSCO. The search for PubMed, MEDLINE, Wiley, Web of Science, and EBSCO used keywords: (Exosomes) AND (Skin Rejuvenation OR Skin Aging OR Skin Wrinkles), with MEDLINE limited to title-only searches. Google Scholar utilized broader terms: (Exosomes) OR (Extracellular Vesicles) OR (Exosomes Secreted by Human Circulating Fibrocytes) AND (Skin Rejuvenation OR Skin Wrinkles OR Skin Aging OR Skin Elasticity).
resultsOf the 1032 papers extracted through the database search, 21 articles were considered suitable for the systematic review. The reviewed studies consistently demonstrated that EVs and exosome-based therapies significantly improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkle depth, enhance hydration, and modulate pigmentation. These effects were supported by molecular evidence showing increased collagen and elastin synthesis, reduced oxidative stress, and suppression of matrix metalloproteinases. Treatments derived from adipose stem cells, platelets, plants, and milk exhibited favorable safety profiles with minimal adverse events and high patient satisfaction.
conclusionIn conclusion, extracellular vesicles and exosome therapies represent a promising, minimally invasive approach for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging. However, further standardized clinical trials with larger cohorts and longer follow-up are needed to confirm efficacy, optimize protocols, and ensure long-term safety. Integrating EV-based treatments into personalized skincare regimens could revolutionize dermatological anti-aging strategies.
