Unlock Radiant Skin with Advanced Microneedling Treatments in Limerick
PRP Microneedling Facial, often referred to as the ‘Vampire Facial,’ is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with the natural healing properties of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). In this treatment, a small blood sample is drawn from you and processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These growth factors play a crucial role in skin healing and regeneration.
During the treatment, I use a specialized microneedling device to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This process not only promotes collagen production but also prepares the skin for the absorption of PRP. The PRP is then applied to the skin, allowing the rich growth factors to penetrate deeply, enhancing the skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes.
This unique combination effectively treats a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and uneven skin tone. The result is improved skin texture and tone, giving a more youthful, radiant complexion. PRP Microneedling is ideal for those seeking a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate and revitalize their skin.
Exosomes are tiny vesicles that carry genetic material & proteins which stimulate cell growth and regeneration. When the serum containing exosomes is micro-needled into the skin it promotes repair and rejuvenation, production of collagen and elastin, and improves skin pigmentation.
Exosomes are derived from different sources-all cells carry exosomes eg human, plants, animal eg bovine collostrum.
I use exosomes derived from bovine collostrum which has more growth factors than human exosomes. It comes in a serum also with hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides, and amino acids.
When you age you have altered pigmentation, the dermis and epidermis lengthens and becomes thinner, pores become larger. Exosomes gets into the skin, stimulates the fibroblasts, creates new blood vessels, increases the thickness of the dermis, which all help in pure cellular regeneration. Overall this improves texture, tone, improves fine lines, reduces pigmentation.
Micro-needling the serum containing exosomes creates channels which allows the serum penetrate through to the dermal layer of the skin to all the blood vessels, melanin (pigmentation hormone), collagen & elastin.
Results start from 30-60 days after the first treatment as it is a regenerative treatment. 3 treatments are recommended 1 month apart.
Micro-needling itself will improve the skin and any improvement in the first few weeks is from the micro-needling. The maximum depth of needle penetration is 1 millimetre which is all that is required to reach the target area therefore there should be virtually no bruising and little downtime.
An after-care pack will be supplied for skincare in the 5 days after your micro-needling treatment.
The procedure involves a specialized device that gently punctures the skin with fine needles, creating controlled micro-injuries.
These injuries trigger the body’s natural wound healing processes, resulting in cellular turnover and increased collagen and elastin production. When combined with PRP or Exosomes, these natural healing agents further amplify the skin’s rejuvenation process.
In our consultation, I take the time to understand your specific skin concerns and goals. I review your medical history and skin condition to ensure the suitability of Microneedling with PRP or Exosomes. We discuss your expectations and create a customized treatment plan designed for your unique skin needs.
I conduct a detailed assessment of your skin and discuss your previous skin treatments. This helps in tailoring a treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns, such as scars, wrinkles, or hair thinning.
Typically, anesthesia is not necessary for this treatment. However, for clients who may require additional comfort, I use ice or a topical anesthetic cream. My approach ensures a virtually pain-free experience, making the session relaxing and comfortable.
The Microneedling procedure, lasting about 45-60 minutes, involves applying PRP or Exosomes to the skin, followed by the microneedling process. This synergistic combination enhances the skin’s natural regeneration.
Post-treatment, some redness and minor swelling are expected but subside quickly. I provide detailed aftercare instructions to maximize the treatment benefits and ensure a smooth recovery.

Post-microneedling, you may notice some redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These symptoms usually subside within a few days. The skin rejuvenation process will continue over the following weeks.

The results from microneedling can last several months, but this varies depending on individual skin conditions and lifestyle factors. Maintenance sessions can prolong the effects.
Professional microneedling is more effective and safer than home rollers. The precision and depth control in a clinical setting ensure better results and reduce the risk of skin damage.
The main difference lies in their composition. PRP uses growth factors from your blood, while exosomes are cellular messengers that provide a more concentrated form of growth factors and proteins for skin rejuvenation.
Yes, microneedling with PRP is highly effective. I’ve seen significant improvements in skin texture, scarring, and overall skin rejuvenation. The combination of microneedling’s collagen stimulation and PRP’s growth factor-rich plasma enhances the natural healing process, leading to better results.
Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced about a month apart is ideal for achieving optimal results. Some clients with more significant skin concerns may require additional sessions.
Both have their unique benefits. Exosomes can provide a more targeted approach to skin rejuvenation, while PRP harnesses the healing power of your own blood. The choice depends on individual skin needs.
The downtime for microneedling with exosomes is minimal, usually a couple of days of mild redness or swelling, similar to PRP treatments.
Microneedling with exosomes can enhance skin texture, tone, and elasticity more specifically by delivering a high concentration of growth factors. It’s particularly effective for more pronounced skin aging signs.
These treatments can cause temporary inflammation as part of the natural healing process. This inflammation is crucial for collagen production and overall skin improvement.
Microneedling with PRP or Exosomes represents the pinnacle of skin rejuvenation, blending advanced techniques with natural healing mechanisms for radiant, youthful skin. Book your consultation today at my Limerick clinic to experience this transformative treatment.
