Skin Needling with Exosome Booster
A targeted skin renewal treatment designed to improve texture, pores, firmness and overall skin condition.
Skin Needling uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate the skin's natural repair process and support the gradual production and remodelling of collagen.
At Urban Beauty, we combine professional Skin Needling with exsiLun Exosome Booster to support hydration, recovery and overall skin condition throughout the treatment process.
This treatment does not add artificial volume or aggressively remove layers of skin. Instead, it works with the skin's natural renewal response to create progressive improvements over time.
Skin Needling with Exosome Booster may be suitable for:
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Enlarged or stretched-looking pores
- Fine lines
- Loss of firmness
- Mild to moderate acne scarring
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Mild uneven skin tone
- Skin that is no longer responding well to topical skincare alone
- Clients wanting to support long-term skin quality and resilience
Rather than focusing on only one concern, this treatment is designed to improve the overall condition, texture and appearance of the skin.
Skin Needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, uses a professional device fitted with fine, sterile needles.
The device creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-channels activate the skin's natural repair response and encourage the activity of fibroblasts, which are involved in producing and maintaining collagen and other structural components of the skin.
Over time, this process may help:
- Smooth uneven skin texture
- Reduce the appearance of enlarged pores
- Soften fine lines
- Improve the appearance of depressed acne scars
- Support firmness and elasticity
- Improve overall skin quality
The main results are not immediate. They develop gradually as the skin completes its natural recovery and remodelling process.
The outer layer of the skin forms a protective barrier. This barrier is essential, but it also limits how effectively many skincare ingredients can penetrate when they are simply applied to the surface.
Skin Needling temporarily creates controlled micro-channels through the upper layers of the skin. Applying a professional booster during the treatment can help support more effective delivery than topical application alone.
At Urban Beauty, we use exsiLun ANTIST EXO-AGING BOOSTER. The booster is designed to support:
- Post-treatment recovery
- Hydration
- Skin barrier function
- Elasticity
- Overall skin conditioning
- Protection from environmental stress
The treatment combines two complementary actions: Skin Needling activates the skin's natural renewal response, and the booster supports the skin while it begins its recovery process.
The aim is not an instant or artificial transformation. It is to help create gradual improvements in how the skin looks, feels and functions over time.
Exosomes are extremely small extracellular vesicles involved in communication between cells. In simple terms, they act like messengers that carry signals between cells. These signals may be involved in processes related to recovery, hydration, inflammation and skin maintenance.
The exsiLun booster contains skin-conditioning ingredients derived from human umbilical cord blood stem cell culture media. This does not mean that live stem cells are placed into the skin.
The treatment uses a topical cosmetic booster containing ingredients produced during a controlled cell culture process. The booster is applied to the skin during Skin Needling and is not injected.
USC1994® is the proprietary ingredient complex used in the exsiLun booster. It is derived from human umbilical cord blood stem cell culture media and contains a broad mixture of proteins, signalling components and skin-conditioning ingredients.
These include components associated with skin recovery, hydration, fibroblast activity, collagen-related signalling, elasticity, barrier support and overall skin conditioning.
For clients, the most important point is that this is not simply a basic hydrating serum. The booster is designed to support the skin environment during and after a professional Skin Needling treatment.
The exsiLun booster is supplied in two separate formulas that are mixed immediately before treatment.
Formula 1: concentrated booster complex. The first formula contains the concentrated USC1994® complex and related skin-conditioning components. It is stored separately to help protect sensitive ingredients before use.
Formula 2: hydration and barrier support. The second formula contains complementary ingredients designed to support hydration, skin comfort, barrier function and protection from environmental stress.
The two formulas are combined immediately before application. This system allows the ingredients to remain separate until the treatment is performed, rather than being stored together for an extended period.
Skin Needling may help gradually improve roughness and uneven surface texture, leaving the skin looking more refined.
Pores cannot be permanently opened, closed or removed. However, improving the texture and structural support around the pore may make enlarged or stretched-looking pores appear less noticeable.
The treatment supports the skin's natural collagen remodelling process, which may gradually soften fine lines and improve the appearance of firmness.
Skin Needling may improve the appearance of certain types of depressed acne scars. Results depend on scar type, scar depth, how long the scars have been present, individual healing response and the number of treatments completed. Deep, tethered or ice-pick scars may require medical treatment or a combination of different procedures.
The combination of controlled skin renewal, hydration and post-treatment support may leave the skin looking fresher, smoother and more even.
Skin Needling may help improve the overall appearance of uneven tone. However, pigmentation-prone skin and active melasma require careful assessment, as excessive inflammation may worsen pigmentation in some clients.
| Standard Skin Needling | Skin Needling with Exosome Booster |
|---|---|
| Activates the skin's natural repair response | Combines the repair response with a professional booster |
| Focuses on collagen remodelling and texture | Also supports hydration, comfort and the skin recovery environment |
| Suitable for general skin renewal | Suitable for clients wanting more intensive skin conditioning |
The booster does not necessarily make the treatment more aggressive. Its purpose is to support the skin throughout the treatment and recovery process.
- Consultation and skin assessment. We assess your main skin concerns, current skin condition, sensitivity, medical history, medications, previous skin treatments and suitability for Skin Needling. The needle depth and treatment intensity are selected according to your skin rather than using the same setting for every client.
- Cleansing and preparation. The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared for treatment.
- Booster preparation. The two exsiLun formulas are mixed immediately before application.
- Skin Needling. A professional device fitted with a sterile, single-use needle cartridge is passed over the treatment area. The needle depth may vary across different areas of the face depending on skin thickness, sensitivity and the concern being treated.
- Booster application. The freshly prepared booster is applied during the Skin Needling treatment.
- Soothing care. A calming mask or post-treatment product is applied to help reduce heat, tightness and sensitivity.
- Finishing care. The treatment is completed with suitable recovery products and sun protection.
The sensation varies depending on individual pain tolerance, needle depth, treatment area, skin sensitivity and existing inflammation. Most clients describe the treatment as uncomfortable rather than severely painful. It may feel like light scratching, prickling, tingling or mild pressure.
Areas such as the forehead, nose and upper lip may feel more sensitive because the skin is thinner or closer to the bone. Your comfort and skin response will be monitored throughout the treatment.
Immediately after Skin Needling, the skin may appear red or flushed, warm, tight, mildly swollen, sensitive, similar to a light sunburn.
Over the following few days, you may experience:
- Dryness
- Mild flaking
- Temporary roughness
- Tightness
- Mild sensitivity
- Small areas of pinpoint crusting
- Temporary darkening of existing pigmentation
These reactions can be part of the normal recovery process. The intensity will depend on your skin, the needle depth and the overall treatment intensity.
Visible redness commonly lasts approximately 24-48 hours. Mild dryness, tightness or flaking may continue for approximately three to seven days.
Your skin may look presentable before the barrier has fully recovered, so it is still important to follow the aftercare instructions even after the redness has settled. For your first treatment, we recommend allowing at least several days before an important event.
Once the initial redness settles, some clients notice that their skin looks more hydrated, fresher, smoother and more refined.
Changes related to collagen remodelling take longer. Improvements in texture, pores, firmness and acne scarring usually develop progressively over several weeks and may continue to evolve for several months.
Results vary depending on age, baseline skin condition, scar type and depth, treatment intensity, number of treatments, sun exposure, smoking, lifestyle, home skincare and individual healing response.
Skin Needling is not designed to provide an instant facelift or completely remove scars after one treatment.
One treatment may improve temporary hydration and freshness. More established concerns usually require a course of treatments.
| Skin Concern | General Treatment Guide |
|---|---|
| General skin maintenance and glow | 1-3 treatments |
| Uneven texture and enlarged pores | Approximately 3-4 treatments |
| Fine lines and loss of firmness | Approximately 3-6 treatments |
| Acne scarring | Often 4-6 treatments or more |
This is a general guide only. Your recommended treatment plan will depend on your skin condition, treatment goals and how your skin responds.
Skin Needling treatments are generally spaced approximately four to six weeks apart. This gives the skin time to recover and continue its natural remodelling process before the next treatment.
More frequent treatment is not necessarily more effective. Repeating Skin Needling before the skin has recovered may increase irritation and weaken the skin barrier.
For approximately five to seven days before treatment, unless advised otherwise, avoid:
- Retinol
- Prescription retinoids
- AHA or BHA exfoliating acids
- Strong vitamin C products
