Benefits
1. Improved Skin Texture: Microneedling reduces the appearance of fine lines, face wrinkles, neck wrinkles, and acne scars, leaving your skin smoother and more even in texture.
2. Enhanced Collagen Production: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling firms and tightens the skin, making it appear more youthful.
3. Minimally Invasive: Microneedling is a non-surgical and virtually painless procedure with minimal downtime, making it suitable for busy lifestyles.
4. Reduces Pore Size: It can reduce the size of enlarged pores, giving your skin a refined and polished look.

Exosomes
Microneedling on its own has a host of benefits, however at Functional Beauty, we take your microneedling results to the next level by combining your microneedling treatment with exosomes to prep the skin and improve healing after treatment.
These powerful, naturally occurring vesicles are packed with growth factors and healing molecules that enhance your skin’s rejuvenation process. When paired with microneedling, exosomes accelerate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and promote a more youthful, radiant complexion.
Experience faster healing, improved texture, and vibrant skin with exosomes.
What To Expect
1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation where your provider will listen to your concerns and formulate a plan based upon your unique skin type and goals.
2. Prep: Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Your skin is then cleansed and sterilized.
3. Pre-game Exosomes: Exosomes are applied to your skin to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.
4. Needle Magic: Your provider will gently pass the microneedling pen over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries in the outermost layer, called the epidermis, and into the deeper layer, the dermis. The depth and density of the needle punctures are adjusted based on anatomy, the specific skin condition being treated, and the patient's skin type.
5. Collagen Party: The micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing process. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining the skin's firmness and elasticity. Over time, this increased collagen production can help improve the skin's texture, tone, and overall appearance.
6. Recovery: After the procedure, the skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within a few days and our use of exosomes after treatment helps this healing process tremendously. Patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen during the healing process. The downtime associated with microneedling is relatively short compared to more invasive procedures like laser resurfacing.
7. Results: Improvement in the skin's appearance can be seen over the course of several weeks to months, as collagen and elastin continue to rebuild and remodel the treated area. Multiple sessions may be required for best results, and these are usually spaced a few weeks apart.
