In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Blenna LaRue, global education leader for AnteAGE MD, to explore one of the most buzz-worthy innovations in beauty: exosome technology. With nearly two decades of experience in the aesthetics world—working with brands like SkinCeuticals, Neocutis, and ZO SkinHealth—Blenna brings deep industry insight and a passion for advancing skincare science.
The conversation dives into the difference between simply treating skin concerns and truly regenerating skin health. Blenna explains how exosomes and stem cell growth factors work at the cellular level to optimize skin function, improve resilience, and maintain a youthful glow—long before signs of aging appear.
Listeners get an inside look at AnteAGE’s unique approach, which uses human-derived exosomes for precise, cell-to-cell communication, and biosomes—a biomimetic alternative designed for global accessibility and stability. Blenna shares how these technologies are rigorously tested for potency and why lyophilization (freeze-drying) is key to preserving their effectiveness.
This isn’t just about anti-aging creams—it’s about preventative care and pairing advanced formulas with professional treatments like microneedling or fractional lasers to supercharge results. Whether you’re in your late 20s or well into your skincare journey, this episode reveals how exosome technology could be your most powerful ally in keeping skin healthy, strong, and radiant.
Tune in for a forward-thinking conversation that will change how you view your skincare routine—and discover why the future of beauty isn’t repair, it’s regeneration.
