Microneedling has long been celebrated as a powerhouse skin treatment, but paired with Exosomes? You’ve got a cutting-edge solution for transformative skin and hair rejuvenation.
Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, thinning hair, or dull skin, Microneedling with Exosomes offers a synergistic boost that targets these concerns from the inside out.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll break down the magic behind this advanced treatment, its benefits, how it works, and what you can expect before, during, and after your session.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that uses a device equipped with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars
- Improves pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and texture
- Minimises pores and enhances skin elasticity
- Stimulates scalp health and supports hair regrowth
Treatment Snapshot:
- Duration: Around 20 minutes for the procedure, 1 hour including prep and aftercare
- Discomfort Level: Mild, with optional numbing applied beforehand
- Downtime: 24–72 hours of redness and sensitivity
- Results: Noticeable improvement after each session; best results after 4–6 treatments

What Are Exosomes?
Allow us to get a little more scientific for this question, because truthfully, that’s what exosomes are – one of the many natural scientific wonders of the human body!
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by stem cells, naturally produced by our bodies throughout our lives. Fun fact: They are are actually present in various bodily fluids – blood, urine, saliva, and cerebrospinal fluid.
At this point, you’re probably wondering: Why the heck are we putting these into our skin?! Interestingly enough, exosomes carry a potent mix of growth factors, proteins, and genetic material that facilitate cell communication and repair and other biological processes – immune responses being one of them.
So just imagine, when targeted to help the skin? Wonderful benefits await!
Why They Matter for Skin & Hair Health:
- Accelerate tissue regeneration and wound healing
- Support scalp rejuvenation and hair follicle stimulation
- Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
- Promote collagen and elastin synthesis
How Do Microneedling and Exosomes Work Together?
Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, which dramatically improve the absorption of topical serums. And that’s where exosomes come in – in the form of exosome-packed serums, which are then incorporated in the typical microneedling process.
When an exosome-rich serum is applied alongside Microneedling, the exosomes (and all its many benefits) penetrate deep into the skin (or hair, but you can learn more about that in our Exo-Grow Treatment article) , amplifying the regenerative process.
Exosome-Infused Serums: What’s Inside?
Exosome-rich serums used in skincare treatments are packed with skin-loving ingredients like:
- Niacinamide – Brightens and evens skin tone
- Copper Peptides – Encourages healing and collagen regeneration
- Polypeptides & Antioxidants – Combat aging and environmental damage
- Ceramide ComplexA, Zinc, and Vitamin B5 – Repair the skin barrier and enhance hydration
These elements work together to visibly improve hydration, elasticity, and skin luminosity while supporting long-term skin health.

The Benefits of Combining Microneedling and Exosomes:
- Enhanced delivery of growth factors to target layers
- Accelerated healing and reduced recovery time
- Boosted collagen production for longer-lasting results
- Improved skin tone, texture, and overall radiance
- Promotes hair regrowth when used on the scalp
How It Compares to Other Treatments
Microneedling with exosomes doesn’t remove the skin’s surface layer like chemical peels or laser resurfacing. Instead, it focuses on the dermis, encouraging structural improvement from within.
Moreover, compared to traditional treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), exosome therapy is cell-free, more potent, and doesn’t require a blood draw — making it a more comfortable and effective option for many.
Key Differences:
- vs. Chemical Peels: Less risk of irritation; deeper collagen stimulation
- vs. PRP/Vampire Facial: Higher potency with no blood draw required
- vs. Laser Treatments: Safer for all skin types and ethnicities with minimal downtime
