Microneedling with Growth Factors

For an enhanced treatment, growth factors can be added to your microneedling session at TELOS Medical Aesthetics.

Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins involved in cellular communication and tissue repair. When paired with microneedling, they can be applied to the skin as part of a customized skin rejuvenation treatment.

This combination may help support:

• Skin rejuvenation
• Collagen production
• Skin repair
• Improved skin texture
• Overall skin quality

Your provider will determine whether a growth factor add-on is appropriate for your skin and treatment goals.

Microneedling with Exosomes

Exosomes are another optional add-on available with microneedling at TELOS Medical Aesthetics.

These small extracellular vesicles can carry signaling molecules between cells. In aesthetic treatments, exosomes are being studied for their potential role in supporting skin repair and rejuvenation.

When combined with microneedling, exosomes can be incorporated into a customized skin rejuvenation treatment.

Potential benefits may include:

• Smoother-looking skin
• Improved skin texture
• More radiant-looking skin
• Healthier-looking skin
• Overall skin rejuvenation

Because exosome products vary, your provider will discuss the specific product being used and whether it is appropriate for your treatment plan.

Growth Factors vs. Exosomes

Growth factors and exosomes are both used in regenerative aesthetic treatments. However, they are not the same.

Growth Factors are signaling proteins that play important roles in cellular communication, growth, and tissue repair.

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that can carry proteins, lipids, and other signaling molecules between cells.

At TELOS, either option may be considered as an add-on to microneedling. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate option based on your skin concerns and goals.

Microneedling for Acne Scars

Microneedling can be an effective option for certain types of acne scars.

The controlled microchannels created during treatment stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. As collagen production increases, the appearance of some depressed acne scars may gradually improve.

For best results, a series of treatments may be recommended.

During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your scars and determine whether microneedling is appropriate.

Microneedling for Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Collagen production naturally decreases with age. As a result, fine lines and changes in skin texture can become more noticeable.

Microneedling stimulates collagen production and may help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

With a series of treatments, skin can appear smoother and more refined.

What to Expect During Microneedling

Your treatment begins with a consultation and skin assessment.

First, your provider will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals. Next, a customized treatment plan will be created.

A topical numbing cream may be used before treatment to improve comfort.

During the procedure, the microneedling device is moved across the treatment area. You may notice mild warmth, tingling, or a prickling sensation.

After treatment, the skin may appear red and feel similar to a mild sunburn. Temporary sensitivity, dryness, or mild swelling can also occur.

Your provider will provide detailed aftercare instructions.

When Will I See Results?

Results develop gradually as the skin heals and collagen production increases.

Initially, your skin may look brighter and smoother. Over the following weeks, collagen production continues as part of the natural healing process.

For many patients, a series of treatments provides the best results.

Your provider will recommend a treatment schedule based on your skin condition and goals.

How Many Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?

Treatment plans vary depending on your skin concerns.

For example, someone treating overall skin rejuvenation may need a different plan than someone treating acne scars.

During your consultation, your provider will recommend the appropriate number of sessions and treatment intervals.
