The patients were divided into 4 groups: Group 1 (n = 18, resurfacing only, no exosomes, age 36-75 years), Group 2 (n = 27, resurfacing only plus exosomes, age 30-82 years), Group 3 (n = 23, resurfacing plus facelift, no exosomes, age 50-80 years), and Group 4 (n = 33, resurfacing plus facelift, plus exosomes, age 54-77 years).

For the resurfacing plus facelift patients, days to re-epithelialization for Group 3 (no exosomes) ranged from 9 to 21 (median, 15; mean, 15.48 [3.58]), compared with Group 4 (exosome treated), which ranged from 7 to 14 days (median, 10.5; mean 10.24 [2.24]) (P &amp;lt; .0001 and t-statistic = 6.22). The rates of complications were: Group 1, 3 of 18 patients (16.67%); Group 3, 3 of 23 patients (13.04%); Group 2, 0 patients; and Group 4, 1 of 33 patients (3.03%).<\/jats:p>\n
