Microneedling has been a cosmetic mainstay for years, and it remains one of the most popular treatments in the country. Most people turn to microneedling to fix complexion issues like enlarged pores, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. Some call it collagen induction therapy because it restarts your collagen production, which slows down progressively starting in your mid-20s.
But scientists couldn’t leave well enough alone, and they found a way to make microneedling even better.
Introducing exosome microneedling, also known as microneedling plus platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Dr. Naima Cheema and Dr. Hina Abid at Nexclin Medicine explain the science behind exosome microneedling and its many benefits.
Traditional microneedling is a treatment that uses a device fitted with multiple tiny sterile needles to prick the surface of your skin. Those perforations evoke a healing response in your body as fluids flood the area with oxygen and nutrients, just as it does when you cut your finger.
The micro-wounds trigger your cells to renew, and they stimulate new collagen production, a powerful combination that remodels your skin from within.
Enter platelets and exosomes.
Platelet-rich plasma is a rapidly emerging regenerative medicine technique that speeds up tissue healing. Physicians use PRP to treat conditions such as knee osteoarthritis and ruptured ligaments. PRP has also become a game-changer in the cosmetic field.
To create PRP, we take a sample of blood from your arm, spin it at high speed in a centrifuge to separate the individual components, and extract only the platelets and the liquid plasma. When we add this concentrated serum to your microneedling treatment, the PRP seeps into the microchannels, releasing growth factors that accelerate healing and trigger tissue remodeling.
Platelets are your body’s main source of exosomes, tiny structures that help cells communicate with each other, repair tissues, and fight infections. Exosomes also contain several different building blocks, like proteins and lipids, that carry information from one cell to another.
When exosomes enter the scene, it’s as if your cells turn into cell phones and start barking out orders to fix this and repair that. Instantly, your cells begin exchanging genetic material and transferring critical data that regenerates your tissues over the next weeks and months.
PRP and platelet-derived exosomes are miracle workers for myriad cosmetic issues. Here’s a list of some of the top skin benefits of exosome microneedling treatments at Nexclin Medicine:
Exosome microneedling also plays a critical role in hair restoration. The exosome microneedling treatment injects the serum into your scalp, activating the hair follicles, promoting blood flow to the scalp, and providing nutrients to support hair growth.
Studies have shown that exosomes can improve hair thickness, density, and length and increase the number of hair follicles in the growth phase. Additionally, because exosomes reduce inflammation, they may be beneficial in treating conditions that cause hair loss, such as alopecia areata.
PRP and exosomes can even relieve joint and soft-tissue pain associated with inflammation and rejuvenate vaginal and penile tissue to restore sexual desire and function.
