Exosomes derived from different types of stem cells can play an important role in reducing photoaging by entering the target cells and transferring their contents. UV radiation induce generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to DNA damage, activation of inflammatory pathway, production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and degradation of collagen fibers. Skin photoaging is characterized by structural change, appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation (Reviewed in [7]). Exosomes derived from stem cells can be served as novel treatment option for skin repair and regeneration. Administering exosomes in the form of lyophilized injection may be one of the effective approaches to repair photo-damaged skin
