About the treatment

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a protocol-based skin renewal treatment that creates controlled micro-channels in the skin. This mechanical resurfacing process stimulates collagen and elastin activity while supporting gradual skin regeneration.

At Prime Cosmetic Clinic, microneedling can be paired with targeted actives such as PRP, Exosome, or a Clarifying serum. The selected protocol is guided by your skin condition, recovery needs, and treatment goals.

Our three protocols

One Mechanism, Targeted Differently.

Protocol 01

PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma

Growth factors from the client's own blood are delivered into the dermis through micro-channels to support collagen synthesis and tissue repair.

Best for

Acne scarring & texture

Fine lines & early ageing

General skin renewal

Enlarged pores

Blood draw required. 3-4 sessions recommended.

Protocol 02

Exosome

Stem-Cell Derived Exosomes

Nano-sized extracellular vesicles carrying signalling proteins and regenerative factors are delivered into deeper skin layers to support skin renewal and recovery.

Best for

Atrophic acne scarring

Post-inflammatory changes

Skin regeneration

Skin sensitivity & renewal

No blood draw. 3-4 sessions recommended.

Protocol 03

Clarifying

Acne-Focused Serum

A targeted clarifying serum is delivered through micro-channels to address congestion, post-acne texture, and active breakouts.

Best for

Active acne & breakouts

Post-acne scarring & PIH

Congested & enlarged pores

Oily & congested skin

Not suitable for open lesions or severe inflammatory acne without assessment. 4-6 sessions recommended.

How it works

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Step 01

Consultation & Protocol Selection

Your practitioner assesses your skin, treatment goals, healing history, and whether PRP, Exosome, or Clarifying microneedling is most appropriate.

Step 02

Preparation

The skin is cleansed and topical numbing may be applied. If PRP is selected, a blood draw is completed and prepared before treatment.

Step 03

Microneedling + Active

Controlled micro-channels are created while the selected active is delivered into the skin to support renewal, collagen stimulation, and targeted repair.

Step 04

Recovery & Results

Redness is common for 24-48 hours. Progressive collagen remodelling develops over time, and multiple sessions are usually recommended.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Microneedling different from Morpheus8?

Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels for mechanical resurfacing and active delivery. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for deeper dermal remodelling and selected laxity concerns.

What is the difference between PRP and Exosome Microneedling?

PRP uses growth factors from your own blood, while Exosome microneedling uses a prepared exosome solution. Your practitioner will recommend the protocol most aligned with your skin condition and recovery goals.

Is the treatment painful?

Topical numbing may be applied before treatment. Most clients tolerate the procedure well, though sensitivity varies between individuals and treatment areas.

What is the recovery like?

Redness and warmth are common for 24-48 hours. Mild dryness, tightness, or flaking can occur as the skin renews. Your practitioner will provide aftercare guidance.

How many sessions will I need?

Most treatment plans involve a series. PRP and Exosome protocols commonly involve 3-4 sessions, while Clarifying protocols may involve 4-6 sessions depending on breakouts and congestion.

When will I see results?

Skin may look refreshed once initial redness settles, while collagen-related improvement develops gradually over several weeks. Results vary between individuals.

Is Microneedling suitable for darker skin tones?

Microneedling may be suitable for a broad range of skin tones because it is not a heat-based laser treatment. Suitability, active selection, and aftercare still require individual assessment.
