Stem cells can regenerate tissues and respond to exosome signals. Quality control is essential in sourcing exosomes. There is a lack of regulation in the exosome market. Patients should seek qualified professionals for exosome treatments. Patients should inquire about sterility and endotoxin testing. Stem cell treatments are still highly experimental and not guaranteed to work. Regulation of med spas is inconsistent across states and a new entity, the MedSpa Board, aims to certify ethical and legal practices in the industry. Researching providers and treatments is essential for patient safety.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Personal Experience with Stem Cells 00:27 Welcome to MedSpa Mayhem 01:21 Meet Dr. Judy Rubin 02:08 Understanding Exosomes 06:01 Stem Cells Explained 06:37 Sources and Types of Stem Cells 11:13 Quality and Safety CFind or Get Your Medspa Certified: https://medspaboard.com/ Grab Your Copy of Medspa Mayhem the Book Today: HERELearn about The MedSpa Board — the national registry that verifies legally compliant, doctor-led med spas.Find a certified provider near you → MedspaBoard.comWant the anti-aging essentials I actually use: Download my FREE  Gift GuideFollower Instagram: instagram.com/drkatedeePlease leave us a review on Apple Podcast: HERE Catch full podcast episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrKateDeeGLOW Medspa - Seattle, WA: https://glowspaseattle.com/Disclaimer:  This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
