SkinPen Microneedling with PRP or Exosomes
Enhanced Microneedling Options for Skin Renewal
SkinPen microneedling can be paired with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or exosomes to support the skin’s natural repair process. These enhancements are selected based on skin condition, treatment goals, and provider recommendation.
How SkinPen Microneedling Works
SkinPen uses controlled microneedling to create microchannels in the skin. This process stimulates collagen production and supports skin renewal over time.
Microneedling may help improve:
- Skin texture
- Fine lines
- Acne scarring
- Uneven tone
- Overall skin quality
Results develop gradually as the skin repairs and rebuilds.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is derived from your own blood and processed to concentrate platelets, which contain growth factors involved in skin repair.
When paired with microneedling, PRP may:
- Support the skin’s natural healing response
- Enhance overall skin quality
- Improve the appearance of texture and tone
PRP is often selected by individuals who prefer a treatment option that uses their own biological material.
Exosomes
Exosomes are topical signaling components used to support skin recovery and renewal following microneedling.
When applied during treatment, exosomes may help:
- Support post-treatment recovery
- Improve skin appearance and texture
- Enhance overall skin rejuvenation
Exosomes are commonly chosen by individuals looking for an advanced, non-blood-derived enhancement option.
Choosing Between PRP and Exosomes
PRP and exosomes are not interchangeable. The appropriate option depends on skin condition, treatment goals, and individual preference.
During your consultation, your provider will:
- Review both options clearly
- Discuss how each enhancement works
- Recommend an option based on your skin and treatment plan
If neither enhancement is appropriate, SkinPen microneedling may still be performed on its own.
Areas Treated
SkinPen microneedling with PRP or exosomes is commonly performed on:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
Treatment areas are confirmed during consultation.
Before Your Treatment
To prepare for your appointment:
- Avoid retinol, exfoliants, and active products for several days prior

Specific instructions may vary based on your selected enhancement.
After Your Treatment
Following treatment, mild redness or sensitivity is expected and typically resolves within a few days.
Aftercare guidance may include:
- Gentle skincare only

- Temporary avoidance of heat, exercise, and exfoliation
Your provider will review aftercare instructions in detail.
Treatment Planning
SkinPen microneedling with PRP or exosomes may be recommended as a single treatment or as part of a series, depending on skin goals and response.
