    TLDR Skin boosters can help improve skin health but aren't yet proven as primary treatments.
    The document reviews the therapeutic potential of "skin boosters," which include components like exosomes, secretomes, chitosan, polydeoxyribonucleotide, platelet-rich plasma, and hyaluronic acid. These bioactive agents, typically administered into the dermal layer, are traditionally used for aesthetic purposes but are now being explored for treating various skin conditions. The review suggests that while skin boosters show promise in improving skin integrity, reducing inflammation, and enhancing tissue regeneration, they should currently be used as adjunctive therapies. The evidence is not yet sufficient to support their use as first-line treatments, and further clinical trials, patient selection criteria, and application guidelines are necessary to validate their therapeutic efficacy.
