What is Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin to trigger natural collagen production. While highly effective on its own, the real magic happens when we use those open channels to deliver powerful, medical-grade cellular boosters deep into the dermis.
At L’Aura Aesthetics, we offer two cutting-edge topical enhancements to dramatically accelerate your results and minimize downtime: Exosomes and PDRN.
Microneedling with Exosomes
Ultimate anti-aging, rapid healing, and overall skin resetting.
Exosomes are tiny "cellular messengers" or nanoparticles naturally packed with thousands of growth factors, lipids, and proteins. When applied during microneedling, they tell your old, tired skin cells to start behaving like young cells again.
The Benefits:
-
Rapid Healing: Cuts standard microneedling redness and downtime in half (often resolving in less than 24 hours).
-
Collagen Explosion: Boosts collagen production up to six times faster than regular microneedling.
-
Brightens Complexion: Targets age-related pigment, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
Microneedling with PDRN
Stubborn acne scars, deep hydration, and structural tissue repair.
PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a powerhouse skin healer derived from salmon DNA fragments that closely mimic human DNA. It works by binding to your cellular receptors to force tissue regeneration, clear up inflammation, and lock in deep moisture.
The Benefits:
-
Deep Scar Repair: Unmatched at smoothing out rolling or pitted acne scars and deep texture.
-
Intense Hydration: Stimulates internal hyaluronic acid production to plump the skin from within.
-
Calms Inflammation: Excellent for repairing a damaged skin barrier or soothing hyper-reactive skin.
Is This Treatment Right for Me?
Advanced cellular microneedling is safe for all skin tones, but choosing the right booster depends entirely on your main skin goals.
Choose Microneedling + Exosomes if:
-
Your primary focus is anti-aging, softening fine lines, and lifting sun damage.
-
You have a busy schedule and need your post-treatment redness to disappear in under 24 hours.
-
You want to give your overall complexion a total, youthful reset.
Choose Microneedling + PDRN if:
-
Your main struggle is stubborn, pitted acne scars or deep textural issues.
-
Your skin is chronically dry, dehydrated, or has a damaged, sensitive skin barrier.
-
You want intense, internal plumping alongside collagen renewal.
What to Expect: The Timeline
-
Prep (30 mins): We apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream to ensure your treatment is completely comfortable.
-
The Treatment (20–30 mins): As the microneedling device creates precise micro-channels, your chosen booster (Exosomes or PDRN) is massaged deep into the skin.
-
The Recovery (12–24 hours): Your skin will have a temporary, sunburn-like flush. The cellular boosters drastically accelerate healing compared to standard microneedling.
-
The Results (4–6 weeks): An immediate, hydrated glow will appear within days, while deep tissue repair, scar smoothing, and collagen growth peak over the next month.
Frequently asked questions
Before Your Appointment (Pre-Treatment)
-
Pause Active Ingredients: Stop using Retin-A, retinols, Vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) 3 to 5 days before your appointment.
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your face from the sun. We cannot perform microneedling on skin that is sunburned or overly tanned.
-
Prevent Cold Sores: If you are prone to cold sores, let us know. We highly recommend taking an antiviral medication 2 days before your treatment to prevent a flare-up.
-
Arrive Bare-Faced: If possible, come to your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup and lotions.
After Your Appointment (Post-Treatment)
-
Let the Boosters Soak: Do not wash your face or apply anything else for at least 12 to 24 hours. Let the Exosomes or PDRN completely absorb.
-
No Makeup: Keep your skin completely bare for at least 24 to 48 hours to prevent bacteria from entering the open micro-channels.
-
Skip the Gym & Heat: Avoid heavy workouts, saunas, hot yoga, and excessively hot showers for 48 hours. Sweating can cause severe irritation and inflammation.
-
Keep It Gentle: Once you resume washing your face, use only lukewarm water, a mild cleanser, and a deeply hydrating, fragrance-free moisturizer.
-
Strict Sun Protection: Starting 24 hours after your treatment, apply a mineral-based SPF 30+ every single day. Avoid direct sunlight as your new, vulnerable skin heals.
