How Often Should I Get Microneedling With Exosomes?

How Often Should I Get Microneedling with Exosomes?

In This Article

The Short Answer

Most people do best with 3–6 sessions of microneedling with exosomes, spaced every 2 weeks, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months once desired results are reached. However, as a general rule, the exact timing depends on your skin goals, healing speed, and needle depth.

Your exact cadence depends on your skin concerns, healing speed, and needle depth.

Quick recap: Why exosomes pair well with microneedling

Microneedling is known for its advanced technique in triggering the skin’s natural healing response and producing more collagen, resulting in a wide variety of skin benefits.

Now, when those itsy bitsy needles create those micro-channels in the skin, they also become a great avenue for topical delivery – which is where exosomes come in.

When applied via a microneedling treatment, exosome-enriched topicals can significantly help improve common skin problems – like smoothening texture, reducing fine lines, tightening pores, lightening pigmentation, and calming inflammation. 

Basically put: All the benefits of microneedling, but deliver faster and better!

Why “every 2 weeks” is the sweet spot

While a classic microneedling treatment typically requires 4–6 weeks of recovery in between sessions, you’ll be happy to hear that microneedling with exosomes has a quicker recovery period than normal!

With the superior Dermapen microneedling technology, a 2–8 week interval is usually recommended depending on the concern and depth. The good thing is, the presence of exosomes (and its many benefits!) aids in faster healing. Hence, the 2-week sweet spot!

Long story short: your skin needs time to do its job between treatments, especially for collagen production and remodeling, so leaving 2 weeks helps you stack results safely.

When to book more (or less) frequently

While 2 weeks is the ideal interval between sessions, this could still vary depending on the skin condition you are treating or your specific skin goals. Ultimately, it’s best to get the final treatment plan from your trusted aesthtician. 

  • Pigmentation or sun damage: Every 2 weeks
  • Acne scars or advanced photo-ageing: 2–4 weeks 
  • Maintenance after a series: Every 6–12 months is a common maintenance window to keep firmness, tone and texture on track.
  • Deeper needle settings: Allow longer gaps (e.g., ≥3 weeks at 1.5 mm+) so skin can recover properly before the next visit. to respect healing.

Safety, suitability, and aftercare

  • Who’s the perfect candidate? Microneedling is minimally invasive and suitable for all skin tones when performed properly.
  • Performed by trained professionals. Before deciding to explore microneedling with exosomes, make sure you choose professionals with proper assessment and techniques, to avoid risks and prepare you for predictable downtime.
  • Regulatory note: “Exosomes” can be sourced and regulated differently around the world. While the science continues to evolve, we can assure you that Lovoir strictly follows official guiadance and regulations, and we use only reputable suppliers.
  • Aftercare basics: Be obedient with your aesthetician’s aftercare instructions. Hydrate, use gentle skincare, and avoid irritants like strong acids/retinoids until you’re cleared to do so. Also, protect your skin with SPF.

Results timeline & maintenance

You’ll usually see brighter, smoother skin within days, with collagen remodeling unfolding over weeks to months. 

For most people, best results come after ~3–6 sessions, with follow-up maintenance sessions as advised. 

For more complex skin issues like deep scars or stretch marks, this may need ~6–8 sessions.

Whatever the case, leave it up to the professionals to give you the best advice on your treatment.

Other FAQs

How long is healing?

Typically 24–72 hours of redness/tingle; protocols are adjusted to keep downtime predictable.

Can I use a home roller instead?

Home use carries higher complication risks due to technique and hygiene; we recommend professional treatments for safety and efficacy.

Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?

Yes — that is, when performed correctly. 

Because the Dermapen procedure is a non-ablative one (meaning it doesn’t need to remove the epidermis in order to help create a new layer of skin), it is perfectly safe on all skin colours.
