The Future of Skincare: What’s Next on the Horizon?

Let’s talk about the next frontier in aesthetics and skincare.

We’ve already seen how biorejuvenation has reshaped the industry—from regenerative injectables to in-office treatments designed to awaken your skin’s own healing mechanisms. But the innovation doesn’t stop there. The future is arriving fast, and it's bringing groundbreaking new technologies to our topical regimens and daily skincare rituals.

Here’s the thing: I’m not someone who jumps on a trend just because it’s trending. I wait. I'm more of a third-or-fourth-adopter. Why? Because this isn’t just beauty—it’s medicine. My two non-negotiables are safety and efficacy, and I hold those standards tightly. I won’t offer a product or treatment unless I can fully stand behind it.

That said, I’m always watching. And right now, these are the most buzzworthy innovations on the edge of aesthetics. Here’s my honest take.

Exosomes: The Hype, the Hope, and the Unknowns

Exosomes have burst onto the scene like an invasive species—ubiquitous and hard to ignore. From 2023 to 2025 alone, at least ten companies launched exosome-based products, and more are coming.

But what are they? Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles (think: microscopic messengers) that carry signaling molecules like proteins, lipids, and RNA between cells. The idea is that they can help regenerate tissue, stimulate collagen, and reduce inflammation—basically, help your skin heal smarter.

You’ll find them in clinical skincare lines like Plated SkinScience and Elevai, or in topical solutions used with microneedling and lasers to bypass the skin’s lipid barrier and drive deeper penetration.

Sounds amazing, right? Maybe. But let’s be clear: they’re not well studied yet. It’s crucial to ask, Where do these exosomes come from? Are they lab-grown? Human-derived? There was even one report claiming an exosome contained genetic material linked to a neurodegenerative disease. Is that real? I don’t know—yet. But if you’re a science reader like me, I’ve linked a great clinical article that dives deeper into the research.

Bottom line: Exosomes are promising, but the jury is still out. This is one I’m keeping on my radar—but not yet on my shelves.

SoME Skincare: PRP Gets Personal

SoME is a fascinating bridge between in-office treatments and at-home care. It’s a custom skincare product infused with your own PRP (platelet-rich plasma)—yes, really. After drawing your blood in-office and spinning it down to extract PRP, it’s combined with a base skincare formula you take home and use daily.
