Looking to soften fine lines, boost collagen, or smooth uneven skin texture? Microneedling is already a trusted treatment for tackling these concerns. But there’s a new, advanced option that’s even more effective: microneedling with exosomes.
If you’ve come across this procedure, you might be wondering if it actually delivers results. And the quick answer is — yes, microneedling with exosomes does live up to the hype!
Below, we’ll explain how this beauty treatment works, the skin issues it can help with, and whether it’s worth your time.
What Are Exosomes, and Why Pair Them with Microneedling?
Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural healing response, and in turn boosts the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins responsible for firm, youthful-looking skin.
Meanwhile, exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles. They’re released by the stem cells in the human body. They carry growth factors, peptides, and proteins that aid in cellular repair and regeneration. In short, exosomes are messengers that tell your skin to heal and rejuvenate more effectively. In some cases, exosomes can even be better than retinol!
So, how does microneedling with exosomes work?
Exosomes are applied after microneedling. The micro-channels created by the needles allow exosomes to penetrate deeper into the skin. They reach the dermis, where they stimulate collagen production and speed up recovery.
What Skin Concerns Can It Treat?
Microneedling with exosomes addresses many skin concerns. It’s a great treatment for patients with:
- Dull or lax skin
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Acne scars and other types of scars
Because the treatment promotes faster skin renewal, it’s especially helpful for aging, sun-damaged, or acne-prone skin.
So, Do Exosomes Work?
The answer is yes — microneedling with exosomes works, and multiple studies back it up.
(1) A 2025 study showed that microneedling with exosomes is more effective for melasma versus just microneedling. (2) Various reports have also found that exosomes reduce wrinkles, improve skin hydration, and boost elasticity. Other studies also proved that microneedling with exosomes shows promise against acne.
When combined with microneedling, exosomes speed up healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance collagen production better than microneedling alone.
What to Expect During the Treatment
At Canada MedLaser, microneedling with exosomes is a professional, in-clinic procedure performed by licensed medical aestheticians. Before starting, our specialist will assess your skin thoroughly to ensure the treatment is right for your skin type and concerns.
Each session takes about 60 minutes and includes three key steps: a personalized skin evaluation, professional microneedling, and the application of exosomes.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
On average, most people see significant improvement after 2 to 3 treatments. But the exact number of sessions you need depends on your goals and your skin’s condition. Typically, most patients need 3 to 6 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart.
After the treatment, there’s no need to worry about an extended downtime. Most clients experience mild redness that subsides within 24–48 hours. Thanks to the healing properties of exosomes, recovery is faster than with traditional microneedling.
