Microneedling with Calecim Exosomes, Templepatrick

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

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.

Lauren, every time. She is an NMC registered nurse and CIDESCO qualified skin specialist. There is no rotating team, so Templepatrick clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

Yes. Microneedling with Exosomes sequences well with several other treatments, and Lauren will plan the order so each one has room to work rather than doing everything at once.

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

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.

Booking is through the online system, where you can pick a consultation or treatment slot that suits you. Lauren confirms the appointment and sends the studio address. You can also call or message if you would rather talk it through first.

The studio is in Carryduff, County Down. It is a private home studio rather than a high street clinic, so the full address is sent on booking confirmation along with parking guidance.

NUA runs by appointment only with flexible scheduling, including times outside standard working hours. That tends to suit clients travelling from Templepatrick who would rather not take time off work.

Then Lauren will say so at the consultation and talk through what would suit your skin better. Being told no is a reasonable outcome of an honest assessment, and it happens regularly.

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.

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.
