AnteAGE: Inside the Regenerative Exosomes Technology Luminous Uses in Treatments

Interview with Amber Lewis, Owner & Lead Aesthetician / Cosmetic Injector / Surgical Assistant / Medical Assistant

The number one reason I'm talking about AnteAGE products today is that I use them—both in my at-home skincare routine and every day at Luminous in my medical-grade facials, microneedling treatments, and more. I prioritize transparency with my clients about the products I use and encourage them to do their own research before chosing an aesthitician. Luminous treatment rates are comporable to other medical spas providing services using AnteAGE products which are leaders in the industry. I absolutely understand and respect clients that are hunting down the best deals! So, please make sure you're subscribed to my emails so you know about the best promotions we have running. I also know, that you're smart and doing the research to make sure you're chosing not only safe products, but investing in results-driven treatments backed by science. My clients aren't falling for hocus pocus B.S. Below, I answer some of the most commonly asked questions, but reach out to me if there is something else you want to know. — Amber Lewis

If you’ve ever stood in your bathroom staring at a dozen half-empty serums that never lived up to the promise, you’re not alone. My clients—smart, research-driven women who want results without gimmicks—are increasingly looking for skincare that works with their biology, not against it. That’s exactly where AnteAGE and growth-factor technology come in: real regenerative science, not influencer marketing.

That’s why we’re talking about AnteAGE—because growth-factor signaling isn’t another “miracle serum.” It’s a regenerative approach that wakes up the repair systems your skin already has. No gimmicks, no magic beans, just biology doing what biology does best. Read more below about why I use AnteAGE skincare products at Luminous Medical Aesthetics in my medical-grade facials, microneedling, and other treatments.

How Long Has AnteAGE Been Around, and Why Don’t More People Know About It?

I’ve been using it for about 10 years.

It doesn’t get the hype because it’s not gimmicky. They don’t hire celebrities. They don’t pay influencers. You can’t buy it at Ulta. It requires a medical license to sell the medical-grade version, and you must assess and guide the client properly.

There is a consumer version out there, but it’s not the same. I only use the medical-grade line — it produces the real change.

Budget clients who skip the stem cells during microneedling simply don’t get the same results. Yes, it costs more. But we’re not doing something that lasts until tonight. We’re creating biological changes that last for years.

Even my red-carpet “just glow me up” facials still get stem cells. I treat stem cells like glitter — they go everywhere.

How Do Growth Factors and Cellular Signaling Set AnteAGE Apart From Traditional Anti-Aging Serums?

When I’m explaining AnteAGE to a client who already understands skincare at a deeper level, I always start with the biological difference. This isn’t topical nourishment. This is a biological messaging system. AnteAGE uses stem cells, biosomes, and cytokines to send targeted cellular signals directly into the skin, telling it what to repair.

Our skin deals with so many types of unhealthy tissue—environmental damage, inflammation, acne, dryness, age-related decline—and we don’t actually need a different serum for every single issue. These cellular messengers work across the board. They communicate on a deeper level so the skin can repair anything that’s dysfunctional or unhealthy. That’s what makes it superior to a traditional serum that only targets one thing at a time.

Some people struggle to believe that one product can address so many issues, but that’s the whole point: it works through biological communication, not topical coating.

How Does Adding AnteAGE to Microneedling Improve Texture, Collagen, and Recovery Compared to Microneedling Alone?

Think of microneedling like aerating your lawn. You’re creating channels so new, healthier skin can grow. But what’s the point of aerating if you don’t add fertilizer?

Microneedling alone creates the channels—but the existing tissue isn’t necessarily healthy. When I add stem cells, biosomes, exosomes… those biologically active signals reach a deeper layer and tell the skin: “Hey, as you rebuild, grow healthy, resilient, happy new skin.”

Age, stress, inflammation, and environmental exposure all impair or slow down our natural repair cycle. Combining microneedling with AnteAGE restores that communication so collagen production, texture refinement, and healing all happen faster and more effectively.

How Do You Explain the Cost–Benefit of Using AnteAGE as a Standalone Regimen vs. Pairing It Strategically With Microneedling or Facials?

It’s not a choice between facials or stem cells. They work together, and each one does something different.

People imagine serums as separate categories—one for pigment, one for dryness, one for laxity, one for lines. Stem-cell based products don’t work that way. They send a single biological signal to repair anything that’s unhealthy: pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, damage from past skin cancer, texture issues… everything.

So if a client is already investing in high-end skincare, the question becomes: Do you want something that targets symptoms, or something that restores your skin’s entire communication and repair system?

That’s the cost–benefit. One biological system vs. a dozen separate creams.

Which Facials at Luminous Medical Aesthetics Use AnteAGE?

Every single one of them.

Everything I do includes medical-grade stem cells. I believe wholeheartedly in using stem cells for all topical treatments — even post-injection care. Even in a “relaxing” facial, if I have you for one hour, I’m going to stimulate fibroblasts, support collagen and elasticity, reduce inflammation, and encourage cell turnover.

Biohacking doesn’t always look aggressive. Your skin doesn’t need to feel like it’s being pushed hard to experience deep regenerative change.

How Do AnteAGE Growth Factors Help With the Accumulated Damage That Comes With Aging?

Aging isn’t just losing elasticity. We accumulate decades of damage — sunspots, inflammation, slowed cell turnover, and impaired fibroblast activity.

My clients are smart. They know the basics. What they don’t know is how to replace the missing biological signals that stop firing as we age.

AnteAGE supplements those exact signals.

We understand how to repair everything else in life—muscles after exercise, a house after a plumbing job, a wall after painting—but we don’t think about repairing our own tissue the same way. This is replacing the natural messaging your skin used to make easily when you were younger.

That’s the difference.

How Does Using a Regenerative Product Like AnteAGE Fit Into the “Natural vs. Unnatural” Debate Around Anti-Aging?

This is such a hot topic, especially because women get pitted against each other over what’s “natural.”

To me, AnteAGE is incredibly natural. It’s simply restoring the cell-to-cell communication your body already has. It’s biocompatible — meaning it doesn’t introduce anything foreign or complicated. It just wakes up your system to produce healthier outcomes.

No one shames people for getting a hip replacement or caring for their joints. But somehow, when women take care of their skin or collagen cycle, it’s “unnatural.” That’s ridiculous. This is simply regenerative care — using your body’s own systems.

What Are Your Thoughts on the Shame Around Skincare, Influencer Hype, and Products That Promise “Magic” Results?

The market is incredibly predatory right now. Everyone is trying to make a buck — including influencers and even some plastic surgeons.

If a product were truly medical-grade, scientifically backed, and biologically active, you wouldn’t be able to buy it without a consultation, skin assessment, and follow-up. Anything sold to the masses is designed for the masses, which means it can’t make that much of a real change.

Influencer marketing pushes fear.

“Is your neck crepey? Do you look old?”

It’s meant to make you feel bad.

Aging is not bad. We’re lucky to age. But taking care of your skin affects how healthy you feel 10–20 years down the road — not just how you look today.

The $10 cream that an influencer claims “changed their life” is usually paired with Botox, lasers, fillers, peels, and sometimes surgery. It’s false advertising. People buy it, it doesn’t work, then they buy the next one, then the next one… bags full of expired products.

You don’t need a 20-step routine. You need biology that works. I use AnteAGE myself and at Luminous. I love talking about the products and am happy to answer anyone’s questions. You can also order the products directly from me to use at home.
