What are Exosomes?
Exosomes & Microneedling: The Future of Skin Rejuvenation Is Here
If you’ve been keeping up with the latest in advanced skincare, you may have heard the buzz around Exosomes. At Nicola Quinn Beauty & Day Spa, we’re excited to offer a groundbreaking treatment that pairs Dermapen4™ microneedling with DP Dermaceuticals MG-EXO-SKIN™—ushering in a new era of skin regeneration.
In this blog, we’ll break down what exosomes are, how they work in synergy with microneedling, and why this pairing is fast becoming one of the most effective rejuvenation treatments available.
This will often pop up within a few weeks on our face, arms, neck and chest area in the form of freckles, spots, moles and dark patches. While some people don’t mind a few freckles, the accumulation of darker pigmentation can make our skin look aged, and many of us prefer an even skin tone. So what are the best ways to prevent and cure pigmentation? We run through our top tips below.
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic vesicles—tiny bubble-like messengers—that naturally occur in our cells, especially stem cells. These vesicles are loaded with bioactive molecules like proteins, lipids, and RNA, and their job is to carry important signals between cells.
Think of exosomes as nature’s own delivery system, transferring regenerative instructions from one cell to another. This communication supports processes like:
- Tissue repair
- Cell regeneration
- Inflammation reduction
- Collagen and elastin production
The result? Skin that’s clearer, firmer, and more youthful—at a cellular level.
Why Combine Exosomes with Microneedling?
Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy, uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin.
Now here’s where exosomes take things to the next level.
Microneedling opens micro-channels in the skin—tiny pathways that allow active ingredients to penetrate much deeper than surface-level serums. When combined with MG-EXO-SKIN™, these channels deliver millions of exosomes directly to the lower layers of the skin, where they can do their best work.
The Science Behind MG-EXO-SKIN™
Not all exosomes are created equal. DP Dermaceuticals has developed a patented, highly stable exosome technology called HLA-G COMPLEXA™, which is:
Immune Tolerant – Won’t trigger inflammation or plateau with repeated use.
Clinically Potent – Derived from the most active, safe, and compatible sources.
Topically Effective – Designed specifically for cosmetic skin rejuvenation.
- Together, microneedling + exosomes can help:
- Visibly reduce
- pigmentation and age spots
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Calm redness and rosacea
- Boost collagen and skin elasticity
- Accelerate healing of acne and surgical scars
Improve tone, texture, and hydration
What to Expect From a Dermapen Exosome Facial
A typical treatment includes:
- Skin consultation and preparation
- Dermapen4™ microneedling, adjusted for your skin needs
- Application of MG-EXO-SKIN™ serum
- Soothing post-treatment care
- No downtime (mild redness may occur and subside within 24-48 hours)
Most clients see improvement even after one session, with best results after a course of 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart. Results continue to build over time as the skin regenerates at a deeper level.
