Microneedling Add-Ons for Enhanced Results
Take Your Microneedling Results to the Next Level with Exosomes and Peptides.
Microneedling (aka collagen induction therapy) involves the use of very fine, sterilized needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which involves boosting collagen and elastin production to repair and rejuvenate the skin. While microneedling treatments alone can produce amazing results, including some additional skin boosters to your treatment session can help take your results to the next level. Two special microneedling add-ons we love to use at Atlanta Face & Body are exosomes and peptides. Let’s examine why these powerhouse extras may be a great option to consider.
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles (about 30-200 nanometers wide) that are naturally found and released by various cells in the body. These small particles help cells communicate with each other by carrying proteins, fats, and genetic material. This allows them to play a big role in many important body functions, such as the immune system and healing tissues. When paired with microneedling, exosomes can improve skin health by signaling surrounding cells to repair and rejuvenate.
What are the benefits of adding exosomes to a microneedling treatment?
Exosomes help to stimulate even more collagen production than microneedling alone. They also help reduce inflammation, soothe irritation, and decrease cellular senescence (healthy cells stopping division). They can improve the overall appearance of the skin by targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Exosomes also help speed up the healing process of skin tissues, which can help improve the appearance of acne and other blemishes.
Before & After: Exosomes & Peptides
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids found naturally in the skin that serve as the building blocks of proteins, such as collagen and elastin. These essential compounds support natural skin repair, help fight inflammation, improve elasticity, and reduce the overall signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles. For instance, collagen is made of three polypeptide chains. Therefore, adding peptides can stimulate your skin to make more collagen, which can lead to a firmer, younger-looking appearance.
What are the benefits of adding peptides to a microneedling treatment?
Over time, inflammation and oxidative stress can cause visible damage to your skin. This eventually leads to the telltale signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, dullness, crepey skin, and discoloration. Some studies suggest that peptides can help reduce inflammation to help lessen the effects of aging skin. Adding peptides to your microneedling treatment provides your skin the chance to create more new proteins than with microneedling alone, namely more collagen and elastin proteins. By paving the way for more of these building blocks, peptides can help your skin stay stronger and more flexible when introduced through microneedling.
Which is right for me – exosomes or peptides?
Exosomes and peptides both offer fabulous benefits for your skin, but they work through different mechanisms. Exosomes are promising for addressing aging and damaged skin thanks to their regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, whereas peptides can be effective for improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles thanks to their ability to stimulate collagen production. We’ll discuss both options at your consultation and help you decide which is best for you. It may be both!
