Let's Talk Microneedling with Exosomes

Microneedling with exosomes is one of our favorite maintenance treatments, offering minimal downtime. Let's break down why this dynamic duo is the perfect combination for achieving a radiant and healthy glow!


What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to enhance skin texture and address various skin concerns. During microneedling, a specialized device equipped with tiny, shallow needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the top layer of the skin. (At TEMPO, we prioritize your comfort, ensuring a pain-free experience by applying a high-quality topical numbing agent for maximum effectiveness!)



The micro-injuries induced by microneedling serve as a stimulus for the body's natural healing response. This triggers the production of new collagen, elastin, and capillaries. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that contribute to skin elasticity and firmness. The formation of new capillaries enhances blood flow to the skin, promoting a rejuvenated appearance. Microneedling is effective in addressing various skin issues, including, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, sagging skin, scarring. With a series of microneedling treatments can lead to several benefits including improved skin texture, enhanced firmness and increased hydration. Patients often experience a noticeable improvement in skin quality as the newly formed collagen and elastin contribute to a smoother and more youthful complexion.

The number of sessions required may vary based on the specific goals and conditions of the patient. This procedure is popular and effective option for those seeking skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime!


What are Exosomes?

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that play a crucial role in cell communication. These vesicles are released by cells and contain various bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and genetic material such as RNA and DNA. Exosomes are involved in intercellular communication, facilitating the transfer of information between cells.

Key points about exosomes:

  1. Cell Communication: Exosomes act as messengers between cells, carrying molecular information that can influence the behavior and function of recipient cells.

  2. Biogenesis: Exosomes are formed inside cells through a process known as endocytosis, where the cell's membrane invaginates to create small vesicles that encapsulate specific cargo.

  3. Content: The cargo within exosomes can vary, and it may include growth factors, cytokines, enzymes, and genetic material. This content reflects the functional state of the cell that releases the exosomes.

  4. Roles in the Body: Exosomes have diverse roles in the body, participating in processes such as immune response modulation, tissue repair, and the transfer of genetic information.

  5. Therapeutic Potential: Due to their ability to transfer bioactive molecules, exosomes have garnered interest in therapeutic applications, including regenerative medicine and targeted drug delivery.

In the context of skincare and medical aesthetics, exosomes derived from stem cells are sometimes utilized for their regenerative properties. These exosomes may contribute to tissue repair, collagen production, and overall skin rejuvenation.


Combining Microneedling with Exosomes

Combining microneedling with exosomes involves applying exosomes to the skin during or after the microneedling procedure. The micro-injuries created by microneedling allow better absorption of exosomes, enhancing their effectiveness.

Benefits of Microneedling with Exosomes may include:

  1. Enhanced Collagen Production: The combination stimulates collagen synthesis, promoting firmer and more youthful skin.

  2. Improved Texture and Tone: Microneedling addresses skin texture issues, while exosomes contribute to a more even skin tone.

  3. Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The dual approach targets signs of aging, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  4. Accelerated Healing: Exosomes can expedite the healing process, reducing downtime after microneedling.

  5. Increased Skin Hydration: The procedure may enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture, leading to a more hydrated complexion.

It's important to note that the effectiveness of microneedling with exosomes can vary based on individual skin types and conditions. Consultation with a qualified skincare professional is recommended to determine if this treatment is suitable for your specific needs and goals.
