INVO Aesthetics is an advanced regenerative treatment system using exosomes and growth factors derived from FDA-cleared human tissue sources to support skin and scalp rejuvenation at the cellular level.

Please note: Exosome-based products, including INVO Aesthetics, are not FDA-approved for medical use. This is an emerging treatment area with promising early clinical data. Dr. Kim will discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for your individual goals and health profile during your consultation.

Bringing Regenerative Science to a Surgical Standard of Care

Dr. Sugene Kim, MD, FACS, approaches every treatment at SGK Plastic Surgery with the same clinical rigor that defines her surgical practice. Her background in reconstructive medicine, including a clinical fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center, informs how she evaluates and integrates emerging science into her non-surgical offerings. INVO Aesthetics is offered here because its sourcing standards, bioactive concentration, and compatibility with in-office treatments meet the evidence-based bar Dr. Kim applies across her entire practice.


What Are INVO Exosomes?

Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles naturally secreted by cells. They act as biological messengers, transporting proteins, lipids, messenger RNA, and growth factors between cells to coordinate tissue repair, regulate inflammation, and promote cellular regeneration. In aesthetic medicine, exosomes derived from stem cell sources are being studied for their potential to support skin rejuvenation and scalp health at the cellular level.

INVO Aesthetics is a regenerative treatment line using exosomes and growth factors derived from FDA-cleared human tissue sources, including umbilical cord (Wharton’s Jelly), bone marrow mesenchymal cells, and dermal fibroblasts. The INVO BioBlend Technology is formulated with over 162 trillion exosomes and 1,200 or more bioactives, including peptides that may support collagen production and cellular repair. INVO is typically applied topically or via microinjection following treatments such as microneedling, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels, where the skin is most receptive to regenerative support.

Potential Benefits of INVO Exosomes

Because this is an emerging treatment, all benefits should be understood as potential rather than guaranteed outcomes, and individual results will vary:

  • May support cellular repair and skin regeneration following aesthetic procedures.
  • May help improve skin texture, tone, and overall radiance.
  • May support increased collagen and elastin production over time.
  • May help reduce the visible appearance of fine lines and uneven pigmentation.
  • May support hair follicle health and scalp rejuvenation when applied to the scalp.
  • Minimal required downtime, particularly when used as a topical post-procedure adjunct.
  • Compatible with microneedling, laser resurfacing, and chemical peel treatments.

INVO Exosomes may be appropriate if you:

  • Are interested in regenerative or biologic approaches to skin rejuvenation.
  • Want to support skin recovery following microneedling, laser treatment, or a chemical peel.
  • Are seeking to address fine lines, uneven tone, or skin texture concerns.
  • Are interested in scalp and hair restoration support.
  • Are in good overall health with no active infections or conditions in the treatment area.

INVO Exosomes FAQ's

Is INVO Aesthetics the same as PRP?

No—PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is derived from your own blood and delivers growth factors through a different mechanism, while INVO Exosomes use extracellular vesicles from FDA-cleared stem cell sources to deliver a broader range of signaling molecules. Both are explored in regenerative aesthetics, and Dr. Kim can help determine which approach may be more appropriate for your goals.

How many INVO Exosome sessions will I need?

Most protocols recommend a series of treatments rather than a single session, with the exact number depending on your specific skin or scalp concerns and how INVO is incorporated into your care plan. Dr. Kim will outline a personalized treatment schedule during your consultation.

Can INVO Exosomes be used on the scalp for hair thinning?

Early clinical research suggests exosome therapy may support hair follicle health and the natural hair growth cycle, and INVO Aesthetics offers scalp-specific applications for this purpose. Dr. Kim will evaluate whether scalp treatment is appropriate for your type and degree of hair thinning during your consultation.

How does INVO Aesthetics differ from other exosome products on the market?

INVO Aesthetics sources its exosomes from FDA-cleared human tissue including umbilical cord (Wharton’s Jelly), bone marrow mesenchymal cells, and dermal fibroblasts, with a formulation containing over 162 trillion exosomes and 1,200 or more bioactives. Dr. Kim evaluates treatment lines carefully before introducing them into her practice, selecting those with clear sourcing standards and credible scientific backing.

Can I use INVO Exosome products at home between in-office treatments?

INVO Aesthetics offers take-home skincare products designed to extend the regenerative benefits of your in-office sessions. Dr. Kim’s team will make personalized recommendations based on your skin type and overall treatment plan.

Is INVO Exosome therapy safe for all skin types?

INVO Aesthetics is generally well-tolerated across a range of skin types, and because it is cell-free, it does not introduce living cells into the body, which supports a favorable tolerability profile. Dr. Kim reviews your individual health history and skin profile before recommending this or any emerging treatment.

How does INVO Exosome treatment feel during the procedure?

When applied topically after a complementary treatment, INVO Aesthetics itself is comfortable and well-tolerated. Any discomfort experienced during the session is typically associated with the adjunct procedure, such as microneedling or laser resurfacing, rather than the exosome application.

How long do INVO Exosome results last?

Results vary significantly by individual, skin condition, treatment frequency, and how consistently maintenance sessions are maintained over time. Ongoing sessions every six to twelve months are generally recommended to sustain the benefits of an initial treatment series.
