Microneedle Skin Therapy

During the Microneedle Skin Therapy Treatment the esthetician uses a specialized professional device to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin, in order to naturally produce collagen and elastin. In addition, the microneedling creates superficial micro-channels that can aid in the effectiveness of topical gels, creams, and serums, and improve the appearance of the epidermal layer of the skin through the skin’s repair process.

Microneedling With Exosomes

This treatment has been gaining popularity because it can show signs of improvement in only one or two applications. It is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Then, an exosome serum is applied to penetrate the channels in the treated skin.

Exosomes are nanoparticles our bodies release naturally. The exosomes of the skin contain lipids, proteins, amino acids, peptides and growth factors. The cells can trigger the skin to repair and regenerate.

When used with microneedling, exosomes can promote the production of new collagen and elastin. These proteins give the skin its elasticity and firmness.

Microneedling With PRP – The Vampire Facial

Otherwise known as the “Vampire Facial”, microneedling with PRP uses the patients own platelet-rich plasma to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate collagen production.

As little as 3 treatments can help to correct skin concerns, such as age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and more. In addition, it is a great way to brighten the overall complexion while evening skin tone and texture.

This procedure starts with a standard blood draw from the patient’s arm. We then spin the blood tube in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma, rich in the patient’s own Growth Factors, is injected into the skin with the Microneedling pen stimulating cell production and turnover.

What does this treatment do for the skin?

Microneedle Skin Therapy can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns. The combination of treatments allows for multiple problems to be addressed at once, including:

PRP vs. Exosomes

PRP and exosomes are both used in regenerative medicine and have similar applications. But they are different biological products with varying mechanisms of action.

PRP, derived from a patient’s blood, is processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. It also contains various cytokines, growth factors, and other signaling molecules that help to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.

Exosomes, on the other hand, are derived from various donor cell types, including stem cells, which can provide a more diverse range of therapeutic options. In addition, exosomes contain bioactive molecules, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, that can influence cellular behavior and communication in addition to growth factors.

While both PRP and exosomes have regenerative properties, exosomes are more potent and versatile as they can target multiple cell types.

Which is better, PRP or exosomes?

This is a tricky question to answer!

PRP and exosomes are valuable tools in regenerative medicine, but because they have different mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications, it’s difficult to say which is better.

PRP does contain various growth factors and cytokines that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, making it effective for treating several dermatological conditions.

The choice between PRP and exosomes with microneedling ultimately depends on the specific condition you want to treat, the number of treatments you’re willing to do, and how quickly you want to see the results.

Ultimately, we at Essential Beauty Med Spa can help you identify the best treatment for you depending upon your skin condition and long-term goals.
