Turn Back the Clock with Exosome IV Therapy

Advanced regenerative medicine that restores vitality, enhances cellular repair, and slows the effects of aging—for men and women seeking lasting wellness.

Exosomes vs. Stem Cells

Exosomes and stem cells share a common goal and purpose: to regenerate the broken tissue and cells that happen because of age. And aging isn’t for the faint of heart. With every passing year, your risk of degenerative disease like diabetes, kidney disease, osteoarthritis, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s increases. Then there’s stroke – still the leading cause of death and disability on the planet.

With every pharmaceutical executive bust, more Americans are waking up to the outrageous prices and dangerous side effects of traditional medications. Not to mention the risks and repercussions of surgery.

It’s becoming more and more obvious – even to mainstreamers – that the future of healing lies in regenerative medicine. And that medicine is delivered via natural means: stem cells and exosomes. In this article, we’ll dive into the key differences and similarities between stem cells and exosomes and the benefits of stem cell therapy and exosome therapy.

What Are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are generally divided into three main categories: Embryonic Stem Cells, Adult Stem Cells, and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. Each type has unique properties and potential uses in regenerative medicine. At Novus Anti-Aging Center, we focus exclusively on Adult Stem Cells, which are naturally present throughout the body and are remarkable for their ability to adapt and repair.

Adult stem cells are often described as biochemical chameleons—they have the extraordinary ability to transform into nearly any cell type your body requires for healing. This flexibility, known as multipotency, is especially critical because it allows them to step in when highly specialized cells—such as muscle, nerve, or cartilage—are damaged beyond natural repair. By becoming what the body needs most, these cells play a vital role in restoring health and function.

One of the most fascinating aspects of stem cell therapy is how these cells communicate. Rather than acting alone, adult stem cells release exosomes—tiny, fluid-filled vesicles that act like messengers. These exosomes carry proteins, RNA, and genetic information that direct surrounding cells to begin repairing, regenerating, and replacing damaged tissue. In this way, exosomes function as the delivery system for the body’s healing commands, orchestrating regeneration at the cellular level.

This natural ability to restore and repair makes adult stem cells a cornerstone of regenerative medicine and an essential part of the advanced treatments we provide at Novus.

How Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?

Stem cells are like the industrial control system in a factory. They scan their environment to detect the tissue that needs repair. Then, they strategically deploy the right exosomes loaded with the proteins and mRNA required to get the job done – at precisely the right moment.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) secrete more exosomes than other cells. They can transform into bone, cartilage, muscle, organ, or skin cells – and repair, or even prevent various forms of degeneration. They combat inflammation, increase blood flow, and deliver growth factors.

Once injected, however, the cells themselves do not survive in the patient for very long – but the signals they’ve delivered continue to stimulate regeneration. Regenerated cells are less likely to surrender to disease or injury.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are little balloons that look like small bubbles that bud off the outer wall of a cell. They were previously believed to be waste byproducts of these cells but scientists have since realized the healing power they offer us.

Exosomes contain everything from proteins to RNA, and most promisingly – mRNA, the protein manufacturer that are usually released in response to an injury to begin healing.

Exosomes are like highly specialized factory workers that perform every function from building cells to delivering chemical signals.

How Does Exosome Therapy Work?

Our bodies are already using exosomes to heal and repair broken and aging cells. By telling a cell to deliver mRNA, exosomes force other cells to make proteins that repair damage or regulate genes – so they enhance the therapeutic effects of stem cell therapy.

But biologists have also been isolating and delivering these beneficial signalers directly, rather than within stem cell therapy.

Because they’re so small and nimble, exosomes can remain hidden in the bloodstream, carry multiple doses – of either drugs or proteins – and cross barriers that cells cannot. They’re ideal for delivering therapies to the brain, as they can cross the blood-brain barrier and other checkpoints in the body. Intravenous injection of exosomes has been demonstrated to be more efficient than the use of cells in treating stroke and another study showed that exosomes helped improve kidney function.

•Additionally, exosome therapy can treat conditions like:

•Inflammation

•Erectile Performance

•Pain

•Regeneration

What Are Stem Cells?

If aching, throbbing, or shooting knee or shoulder pain is impeding your work, fun and lifestyle, you’re not alone – 25.3 million American adults have struggled with chronic musculoskeletal-related pain for the last three months of their lives.

Unlike traditional medicine practitioners who use arthroscopic surgery to repair injuries by removing tissue, bone, or cartilage, Novus Anti-Aging Center regenerative practitioners strive to heal the root causes of your pain by stimulating your body to regenerate its own damaged cells. Then, after eradicating your pain, we strive to nurture your whole body to prevent it from returning. The long term goal? Regenerative medicine aims to develop cures for diseases and injuries once believed to be permanent or incurable.

The benefits of regenerative medicine like stem cell shoulder repair are seemingly endless. We at Novus Anti-Aging Center are excited to share with you our therapy techniques to help conquer your knee, shoulder, or other joint pain so you can walk, run, jump, swim, and dance whenever you wish to. Call our specialists for a consultation today at (310) 954−1450 or contact us here.

What Causes Knee and Shoulder Pain?

Musculoskeletal-related pain is often caused by a number of conditions that are stimulated by aging, genetic history, diet, smoking, alcohol, environmental factors, or extreme physical strain. These conditions include:

•rheumatoid arthritis: an autoimmune disorder that causes stiffness and pain

•psoriatic arthritis: pain from sitting for long hours

•osteoarthritis: growth of bone spurs and degeneration of cartilage at a joint; common in adults older than 45

•bursitis: inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion protruding bones and allow your muscles and tendons to move freely over your bone

•gout: built up crystals in joints

tears and ruptures of ligaments and cartilage

How do Stem Cells Treat Joint Pain?

Your knees, shoulders, and other joints are pulsating with billions of specialized cells (stem cells) that hold the power to replicate and regenerate muscles, ligaments, tendons, connective joints, and even bones. These cells just need to be stimulated.

The injured cells in your knee and shoulder muscles, ligaments, and tendons send out signals. When they’re injected into these injured areas, mesenchymal stem cells respond to those signals, migrate to the injured tissue, and release proteins that nourish and stimulate your own cells to begin regenerating. These growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines may:

•Activate T-cells to secrete proteins

•Open up your blood vessels and form new ones

•Move cells out of your blood vessels and into the tissues surrounding them

•Stimulate your cells to regenerate your tissue

•Inhibit your inflammation

•Regulate your immune system

The injected MSCs may continue producing human growth factors for weeks, sometimes even months. As with all medical procedures, stem cell joint injections treatment success depends on many factors including your age, body type, genetics, environment, state of health, and injury severity.

At Novus Anti-Aging Center, we’re always reading up on the ever-evolving clinical trials and regulations to bring you the latest treatments and techniques available. A recent study published in the World Journal of Stem Cells demonstrated the efficacy of stem cell therapies for musculoskeletal pain treatment, which was shown to enhance patients’ quality of life.

What Can I Expect from my Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no general anesthesia, hospital stay, or long-term recovery time. You may be able to return to your usual activities after a brief recovery period.

Your treatment journey includes: an initial consultation, the injection procedure, recovery, and follow-up.

Stem Cell Exosome Treatment Consultation

During this visit, Your practitioner will discuss details of your knee, shoulder, or other joint pain, as well as your expectations, goals, and potential outcomes to determine whether you’re a good candidate for stem cell exosome treatment. If you are, then a date for your procedure will be scheduled.

Your Stem Cell Exosome Treatment Procedure

On the day of your therapy, Your practitioner may give you a local anesthetic to prevent any pain during the injections. Then Mesenchymal Stem Cells will be injected into the area you’ve decided to regenerate. You should feel little or no pain from these injections. The process typically takes about thirty minutes.

Stem Cell Exosome Treatment Recovery

Your post-injection recovery time is usually minimal. Your practitioner will most likely discuss your expectations again and may offer advice regarding your specific case. When you feel strong enough, you may return to your usual daily activities, but will be asked to avoid heavy exercise or stress. Rest is advisable.

Stem Cell Exosome Treatment Results

Depending on your age, genetics, level of physical activity, environmental and other health factors, you may begin enjoying results within 6-12 weeks, and they tend to improve further for 6-12 months following your procedure. As with any treatment, results may vary.

What Are The Side Effects of Stem Cell Injections?

Most patients tolerate stem cell injections well, with few or no side effects, but some report slight pain or soreness near the injection site. All medical procedures present the possibility of side effects, and, as with any other injection procedure, there is a very small risk of bacterial infection NOT associated with the cells.

Discuss your medical history, expectations, and any medications you’re currently taking with Your practitioner to ensure environmental or medical conditions are not interacting with stem cell therapy.

If you experience any severe or prolonged side effects, don’t wait—contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical attention right away.
