Microneedling with Exosomes
Microneedling with exosomes is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the proven benefits of microneedling with the advanced regenerative properties of exosomes. Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring vesicles released by cells that carry proteins, growth factors, and genetic material. These powerful molecules work to stimulate cell repair, boost collagen and elastin production, and enhance overall skin health.
During the treatment, microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, allowing the exosome serum to penetrate deeply and deliver its benefits directly to the dermis. This process not only accelerates healing but also promotes noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
Microneedling with exosomes is especially effective for reducing fine lines, minimizing acne scars, brightening dull complexions, and addressing signs of aging. With minimal downtime and visible results after just one or two sessions, this treatment is an efficient and innovative way to improve skin health.

Microneedling with Exosomes FAQ
What is microneedling with exosomes?
Microneedling with exosomes is a skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the collagen-boosting effects of microneedling with the regenerative properties of exosomes. During the procedure, microchannels created by microneedling allow an exosome-rich serum to penetrate deeply into the skin, enhancing cellular repair, collagen production, and overall skin health.
What are exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles naturally released by cells in the body. They act as messengers, carrying proteins, growth factors, and genetic material between cells to support repair, regeneration, and communication.
How do exosomes enhance skin rejuvenation therapy?
Exosomes amplify the effects of microneedling by delivering a high concentration of growth factors, peptides, and amino acids directly to the skin. This accelerates healing, boosts collagen and elastin production, and enhances overall skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
What do exosomes do for skin?
Exosomes stimulate skin cells to repair damage, produce collagen and elastin, and regenerate healthier tissue. This results in firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin while addressing concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture.
How is microneedling with exosomes different than microneedling with PRF?
While both treatments promote skin repair and collagen production, microneedling with PRF uses growth factors derived from your own blood, requiring a blood draw. Exosome therapy eliminates this step and delivers a higher concentration of growth factors and regenerative molecules, resulting in faster, more potent outcomes.
How is microneedling with exosomes different than microneedling with PDGF?
Microneedling with PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factors) focuses on delivering a concentrated dose of specific growth factors derived from platelets, which are highly effective for stimulating collagen production and accelerating skin repair. Microneedling with exosomes, on the other hand, offers a broader spectrum of regenerative components, including peptides, amino acids, lipids, and hundreds of growth factors. While PDGF+ is highly targeted and ideal for intensive skin regeneration, exosomes provide a more balanced approach, emphasizing hydration, anti-inflammatory benefits, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Both treatments are highly effective, and the choice between them depends on your specific skin concerns and desired outcomes. A consultation with your provider can help determine which option is best suited to your needs.
How many sessions of microneedling with exosomes do I need to see results?
The exact number of sessions depends on your skin concerns, such as fine lines, scars, or hyperpigmentation. Your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
How long do the results of microneedling with exosomes last?
The results of microneedling with exosomes can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on factors such as your skin condition, the number of treatments, and your aftercare routine.
To sustain results, many people undergo microneedling with exosomes every 6-12 months, as the natural aging process and environmental factors can diminish the benefits over time.
Is microneedling with exosomes suitable for all skin types?
Yes, microneedling with exosomes is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones. The treatment is designed to address a variety of skin concerns without causing significant irritation or pigmentation issues, making it safe and effective for a wide range of individuals. It’s important to consult with a provider to determine if this treatment is the right fit for your unique skin needs.
Are exosomes stem cells?
No, exosomes are not stem cells. They are vesicles released by cells, including stem cells, to facilitate communication and regeneration. While stem cells generate new cells, exosomes deliver growth factors and proteins to support healing and repair.
Are exosomes better than stem cells?
Exosomes are not "better" than stem cells but serve a different function. While stem cells regenerate tissues by creating new cells, exosomes act as messengers that deliver growth factors and proteins to enhance repair and regeneration. For cosmetic purposes, exosomes often provide faster, more targeted results.
Are exosomes safe?
Exosomes used in cosmetic treatments are considered safe when sourced from reputable manufacturers and applied by qualified providers. They are rigorously purified and tested to ensure they meet safety and quality standards.
Are there any side effects of microneedling with exosomes?
Microneedling with exosomes is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. The most common reactions include temporary redness, mild swelling, and sensitivity, which typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Rarely, minor pinpoint bleeding or bruising may occur. Following your provider’s aftercare instructions can help minimize these effects and promote faster healing.
Can exosomes make you sick?
Properly sourced and purified exosomes used in aesthetic treatments are safe and do not cause illness. Choosing a licensed provider ensures the highest safety standards are met, minimizing any risk. Always discuss your health history with your provider prior to treatment.
How soon can I wear makeup after microneedling with exosomes?
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup after microneedling with exosomes. This allows the skin to heal and prevents bacteria or makeup particles from entering the microchannels created during the treatment. Your provider may recommend specific post-care instructions and makeup products to ensure optimal results.
Can microneedling with exosomes be combined with other treatments?
Yes, microneedling with exosomes can be safely combined with other treatments to enhance results. Your provider will guide you on the best treatment plan for your goals.
Where do exosomes come from?
Exosomes used in skincare treatments are derived from mesenchymal stem cells (typically sourced from human adipose tissue or bone marrow). These exosomes are purified, stabilized, and prepared for safe cosmetic application.
Are exosomes FDA approved?
Currently, exosomes for cosmetic and aesthetic purposes are not FDA-approved, but they are manufactured in FDA-registered facilities following strict safety and quality guidelines. Always choose a reputable provider for exosome treatments.
Can I get microneedling with exosomes while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Microneedling with exosomes is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Although the treatment is considered safe, there is limited research on its effects during pregnancy or lactation. It’s best to consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing any cosmetic procedures during this time.
What are exosomes good for?
Exosomes are effective for a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven tone, and dullness. They also improve skin health by promoting hydration, elasticity, and a more youthful appearance.
How Microneedling with Exosomes Works
Microneedling with exosomes is an advanced skin rejuvenation procedure that pairs the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with the regenerative power of exosomes. During the treatment, a specialized device equipped with tiny needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries activate the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for maintaining firm, youthful skin.
What sets this treatment apart is the application of an exosome-rich serum immediately after microneedling. Exosomes, which are naturally occurring cellular messengers, are packed with growth factors, peptides, and proteins. These powerful molecules penetrate deeply into the microchannels created by the microneedling device, delivering essential nutrients directly to the skin’s regenerative layers.
As the skin repairs itself, the combined effects of microneedling and exosome therapy result in smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a brighter, more radiant complexion. This cutting-edge treatment is ideal for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage, while also enhancing the overall health and vibrancy of your skin.
What to Expect
When you arrive for your microneedling with exosomes appointment, your provider will begin by discussing your skin concerns and goals. They will carefully assess your skin’s condition to ensure this treatment is the best option to meet your needs.
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to maximize your comfort. Once your skin is fully numb, a microneedling device will be used to create tiny microchannels in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural repair process, setting the stage for optimal results.
Immediately after microneedling, an exosome-rich serum will be applied to your skin. The microchannels created during the treatment allow the exosomes to penetrate deeply, delivering growth factors, peptides, and proteins directly to the dermis. This enhances cellular repair and accelerates skin rejuvenation.
Post-treatment, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to the effects of a mild sunburn. These temporary side effects typically subside within 24–48 hours. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and maximize the benefits of the treatment. Most clients find their skin feels smoother, more hydrated, and visibly healthier within a few days.
Microneedling with Exosomes Treatment Types
Microneedling with exosomes can be tailored to address a wide range of skin concerns and achieve specific aesthetic goals by enhancing the body’s natural healing process with the regenerative power of exosomes.
Microneedling with exosomes is highly effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin—two key proteins responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. This treatment helps to plump the skin from within, softening wrinkles and creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. It’s an excellent option for areas prone to aging, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth.
For individuals struggling with acne scars, microneedling with exosomes offers a powerful solution. The microneedling process breaks down scar tissue, while the exosome serum delivers growth factors that promote the growth of healthy, new skin cells. Over time, this treatment visibly improves skin texture, reduces scarring, and creates a more even skin surface, making it ideal for those with lingering acne marks or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation are common concerns that can be effectively addressed with microneedling and exosomes. The treatment boosts cell turnover and enhances skin renewal, helping to fade dark spots caused by sun damage, hormonal changes, or acne. Exosomes provide additional support by delivering peptides and proteins that repair and brighten the skin, leaving you with a more radiant and uniform complexion.
Microneedling with exosomes is an excellent choice for minimizing large pores and improving skin texture. By stimulating collagen production around pore walls, the treatment tightens and refines the skin, creating a smoother, more polished appearance. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals with oily or combination skin who struggle with visible pores.
Stretch marks occur when the skin’s elasticity is compromised, often due to rapid weight changes or pregnancy. Microneedling with exosomes helps restore skin integrity by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the affected areas. This promotes skin repair and softens the appearance of stretch marks, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin over time.
If your skin feels dry, dull, or tired, microneedling with exosomes can provide an instant boost in hydration and radiance. The nutrient-rich exosome serum replenishes moisture, supports cellular repair, and enhances the skin’s natural glow. This treatment is perfect for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their complexion and improve their skin’s overall health.
As we age, the loss of collagen and elastin can lead to sagging or loose skin. Microneedling with exosomes works to reverse these effects by stimulating the production of these essential proteins. The result is firmer, tighter skin that looks naturally lifted. This makes the treatment an ideal choice for areas like the jawline, neck, and cheeks.
Microneedling with exosomes isn’t just for correcting existing skin concerns—it’s also a proactive approach to maintaining youthful skin. By supporting collagen production and improving skin resilience, this treatment helps delay the onset of fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of aging. Regular sessions can keep your skin looking fresh and vibrant for years to come.
Exosomes are an excellent addition to post-procedure recovery plans, especially after more intensive treatments like laser resurfacing or chemical peels. Their anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness, soothe irritation, and accelerate healing, allowing your skin to recover faster and achieve optimal results.
