Enhanced Regeneration

Microneedling with Calecim Exosomes

Medical microneedling with Calecim Professional Exosomes infused into the micro-channels, amplifying regeneration and cutting recovery time.

Book ConsultationAsk a Question

Microneedling opens thousands of temporary channels into the deep dermis. That window is an opportunity, and what you put into it changes the outcome considerably.

Calecim Professional Exosomes are ethically sourced stem-cell messengers powered by PTT-6 technology. Infused during treatment, they deliver over 3,000 growth factors and proteins directly to where the healing response is already underway.

The practical difference is speed and depth. Cellular crosstalk triggers a substantially stronger regeneration response, inflammation cools faster, and visible downtime is shorter than microneedling alone.

Who it suits

  • Anyone wanting stronger results than microneedling alone delivers
  • Skin that needs faster recovery between sessions
  • Loss of firmness alongside textural concerns
  • Established acne scarring and sun damage
  • Dull skin that has stopped responding to skincare

What happens

  1. Consultation and prep

    Skin assessment, cleanse and twenty minutes of topical numbing, as with standard microneedling.

  2. Microneedling

    The 1NEEDPRO creates controlled micro-channels at a depth selected for each zone of the face.

  3. Exosome infusion

    Calecim Professional Exosomes are worked into the open channels immediately, while absorption is at its highest.

  4. The course

    Three treatments spaced four weeks apart, with maintenance sessions thereafter.

Aftercare

  • Redness settles faster than standard microneedling, often within 24 hours
  • Leave the remaining serum on the skin overnight if advised
  • No make-up for 24 hours
  • Daily SPF, skin remains sun-sensitive for around a week
  • Pause retinoids and acids for five days

Microneedling with Calecim Exosomes: your questions answered

What are exosomes and what do they do?

Exosomes are cellular messengers that carry growth factors and proteins between cells. Calecim Professional Exosomes use PTT-6 technology to deliver over 3,000 growth factors into the deep dermis, triggering a substantially stronger regeneration response than microneedling on its own.

How is this different from standard microneedling?

The microneedling step is identical. The difference is what goes into the channels afterwards. The exosome infusion amplifies the healing response, reduces visible downtime, and produces a firmer, more even result over the course.

Is it worth the extra cost over standard microneedling?

It depends on your goals. For general maintenance, standard microneedling is often enough. Where there is established scarring, significant sun damage or noticeable loss of firmness, the amplified response is usually worth it. Lauren will give you a straight answer at consultation.

Are the exosomes ethically sourced?

Yes. Calecim Professional is an established medical-grade product with a documented ethical sourcing process, which is one of the reasons NUA uses it rather than a cheaper alternative.

How many treatments will I need?

Three treatments spaced four weeks apart, then maintenance. As with all collagen-stimulating treatments, the course delivers the result rather than any single session.

How much downtime is there?

Less than standard microneedling. The anti-inflammatory effect of the exosomes means redness typically settles within about 24 hours rather than 48.

Does it hurt more than standard microneedling?

No. The needling step is the same and topical numbing is used identically. The exosome serum is simply applied to the skin surface afterwards.

When will I see results?

Skin looks noticeably brighter and plumper within a few days, sooner than standard microneedling. Structural improvement continues building over four to six weeks per session.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes. It sequences well with polynucleotides and Profhilo, and with lines and wrinkles treatment. Lauren will plan the order so each treatment has room to work.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Often yes. The anti-inflammatory action of the exosomes tends to make it more comfortable for reactive skin than microneedling alone, though suitability is always assessed individually.

What should I avoid before treatment?

Stop retinoids and acids five days beforehand, avoid sun exposure and fake tan, and skip alcohol the night before. Come with clean skin and no make-up.

How long do the results last?

Results from a full course typically hold for several months. Most people maintain with a single session every four to six months.

Treatments that pair well

Microneedling

Controlled micro-channels created with an FDA-cleared medical device, triggering a natural healing response that rebuilds collagen and refines texture.

Polynucleotides

Injectable biostimulators derived from purified DNA fragments that trigger your skin's own collagen and elastin production.

Profhilo

Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that remodels ageing skin and treats laxity by stimulating your own collagen and elastin, without adding volume.
