Microneedling With Exosomes
Avon, CT
Avon, CT
When your skin is smoother, light reflects more evenly across your face. Fine lines look softer, and marks from past breakouts are less noticeable. At Youthful Images in Avon, CT, microneedling with exosomes can help you achieve these changes by combining targeted collagen stimulation with professional skincare.
We use Dermapen 4 along with MG-EXO-SKIN, an exosome serum from Dp Dermaceuticals. Each full-face session includes a skin assessment, treatment planning, microneedling, serum application, and aftercare guidance for $475. This approach helps improve your skin quality, and our support continues after your visit.
Microneedling with exosomes uses gentle skin needling along with a serum that contains exosomes. At Youthful Images, Dermapen 4 helps boost collagen, while MG-EXO-SKIN is designed to support your skin’s recovery and conditioning.
This treatment, sometimes called an exosome facial, focuses on improving your skin’s texture, fine lines, and overall look. The serum is applied during your appointment. There are no blood draws or injectable fillers needed.
Microneedling is helpful for concerns you can see or feel on your skin’s surface. In some cases, it can also help with certain pigment changes after breakouts. This treatment can improve:
Different skin concerns need different approaches. For example, a shallow acne mark needs a different plan than a brown spot left after a breakout, which is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Deeper scars might need extra treatment to improve their shape or how they attach under the skin. During your consultation, we’ll look at the areas you want to improve and discuss how microneedling can help.
Dermapen 4 uses tiny, motorized needles to make small channels in your skin. This process starts your body’s natural healing, which includes making more collagen and repairing tissue. Collagen supports your skin’s structure, and elastin helps keep it flexible. As your skin heals, it can look smoother, and early lines may fade.
The depth and speed of the treatment can be adjusted. Your provider will change the settings for different areas of your face, like the cheeks, forehead, and more sensitive spots. A stronger treatment isn’t always better. The settings should match your skin and your needs.
Exosomes are tiny particles that help cells communicate. They carry proteins and growth factors between cells, which can affect how your skin repairs itself. Exosomes are linked to collagen production, less inflammation, and skin healing, but these effects are based on how they work in the body and are not guaranteed for everyone. That’s why exosome products are used in aesthetic and regenerative medicine. In this treatment, MG-EXO-SKIN is applied as a professional serum during microneedling. It helps the device glide smoothly and supports your skin’s recovery. Your session combines both microneedling and exosome serum in one visit.
This treatment can give your skin a smoother texture, a fresher look, and better firmness, while still looking like yourself. Microneedling helps renew collagen as an anti-aging option, without adding volume or changing your natural expressions. Exosomes may also help your skin renew itself, improve its health, boost hydration, and strengthen its barrier, which can help you look more youthful. Benefits include:
You can track your progress with photos. It’s often easier to notice small changes in your skin when you compare pictures taken from the same angle and lighting over time.
You might be a good candidate if you want to improve your skin’s texture, fine lines, visible pores, or shallow acne scars, and you can allow time for your skin to heal after treatment. We can consider this treatment for many skin tones, and your plan will be tailored to your skin type, sensitivity, healing history, and risk of pigment changes.
Bring your current skincare routine and your goals to your consultation. Let us know if you want smoother cheeks or if you have an upcoming event that might affect your treatment timing.
If you have active acne, an infection, a rash, or sunburn, wait until your skin has healed before having microneedling. Please tell us if you have a history of cold sores, keloid scars, slow healing, immune conditions, allergies, recent isotretinoin use, or take medications that affect bleeding. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we’ll need to discuss this before scheduling.
If you have significant sagging or deeper volume loss, you may need a different treatment. During your assessment, we’ll help figure out whether your concerns are related to the skin’s surface or the deeper support under your skin.
We’ll give you instructions tailored to your skin and the depth of your treatment. If your skin gets irritated or you have a breakout before your appointment, let us know so we can help.
Your appointment starts with an assessment and a chat about what you’d like to improve. We’ll go over your medical history, recent skincare, and what to expect during recovery before getting your skin ready for the exosome treatment.
After cleansing your skin, your provider will talk with you about numbing and other ways to keep you comfortable. Dermapen 4 is used on the treatment area, with settings adjusted as needed. MG-EXO-SKIN is applied during the session as part of your treatment.
You might feel some vibration, pressure, or a light scratching feeling. The forehead and areas near the nose can be more sensitive. Let your provider know how you’re feeling so they can help keep you comfortable.
Your treatment includes skin preparation, sterile single-use needles, and careful handling of products. Before you leave, we’ll go over aftercare and any follow-up steps. The whole appointment, including assessment and preparation, usually takes about 45 to 75 minutes. We’ll confirm the exact timing when you book.
You can expect some mild redness, warmth, tightness, and possibly mild swelling after treatment. These effects usually last 1 to 3 days. You might see a little pinpoint bleeding during the procedure. Your skin may feel like it has a mild sunburn, and you could notice some dryness or light flaking as it heals.
Some people choose this treatment because exosome therapy may shorten recovery time after microneedling. Reports often mention a 30 to 50 percent reduction in downtime.
You can usually get back to desk work and your normal routine soon, but your skin might still look red. As the redness fades, many people start to see fresher-looking skin, though some flushing can last a few days. Redness often goes away in several days, but deeper treatments or sensitive skin may take longer. Plan extra time before any special event, especially after your first session, and follow the recommended schedule for your treatment series to get the best results.
Stick to your provider’s advice about when to use makeup, exercise, swim, or be in saunas and heat. Only use the post-treatment products they recommend for your skin. Wait to restart retinoids, exfoliating acids, and scrubs until your provider says it’s okay.
Be careful to protect your skin from the sun and don’t pick at any flaking skin. Gentle care helps your skin heal and lowers the chance of irritation.
Get in touch with us if the redness spreads, pain gets worse, or you see any drainage. Complications like infection, lasting pigment changes, and scarring can happen. Careful assessment, treatment, and aftercare all help lower these risks.
In the first few days, your skin is healing. Swelling or redness is normal and can change how your skin looks, so it’s too soon to see the final result.
After about a week, as your skin becomes less sensitive and flaking stops, you might notice your skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and shows early signs of looking younger.
In the weeks that follow, your skin will keep renewing itself and making more collagen. You may start to see smoother texture and fewer fine lines within a few weeks, with more changes happening over several months.
After you finish the recommended series, improvements can add up with each session, and more changes may appear in the months after. We use follow-up photos to track your progress.
The benefits from new collagen can last after your skin heals, but there isn’t a set time for how long results will stay. How long you see changes depends on your skin, sun habits, age, and how you care for your skin at home.
You can schedule maintenance visits based on your skin’s needs. Keeping up with sun protection and a good skincare routine helps maintain your results between appointments.
For lasting texture issues and acne scars, the best results usually come from a series of microneedling sessions. These are often scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks to allow for proper healing and skin renewal.
Your provider will decide how many sessions you need and how far apart they should be after looking at your skin. A light refresh and a scar-focused plan have different goals. We’ll go over the plan, recovery time, and total cost with you before you start.
Full-face Dermapen 4 microneedling with MG-EXO-SKIN costs $475 per session at Youthful Images.
That fee includes:
The total cost depends on how many sessions you need. If you want to talk about treating another area or adding more care, we’ll go over your options and prices during your consultation.
Standard microneedling and microneedling with exosomes both use controlled needling to boost collagen. The exosome treatment adds MG-EXO-SKIN serum during your session. You can ask about how the serum works when comparing your options.
Microneedling with PRP uses platelet-rich plasma made from your own blood. MG-EXO-SKIN is a topical product made separately, so you won’t need a blood draw for this treatment.
Laser and light treatments use light energy to target certain skin issues. If you’re mainly worried about visible blood vessels or sun spots, a photofacial might be a good option. Laser resurfacing is another choice if you’re thinking about texture, tone, and downtime. Microneedling works especially well for improving surface texture and boosting collagen.
Exosome therapy can also be considered along with laser resurfacing when we create a plan based on your goals, how much recovery time you want, and the results you’re looking for.
If you want to refresh your skin, it helps to start by thinking about the changes you want. Rough texture, uneven color, and loose skin can happen together, but each one may need a different treatment.
Yes, you can combine microneedling with skincare and other aesthetic treatments if they target different concerns. Exosome facials are a new option in regenerative aesthetics. It’s important to give your skin enough time to recover between treatments. Exosome products for skin use are not FDA-approved in the U.S., and more research is needed.
Having a steady skincare routine is especially helpful between visits. Youthful Images offers Radiansia, Dr. Felice’s own skincare line. We can help you choose the right products and let you know when to start or restart them after microneedling.

When we assess your skin, we look at facial aging, past treatments, and your goals. For example, a fine line near your mouth and an old acne scar on your cheek might need different settings, even in the same session. During your consultation, we’ll also see if skin treatment is your main focus or if you have other concerns like hair loss. Dermapen 4 lets us adjust settings for different areas of your face. Your $475 session includes MG-EXO-SKIN application and advice on how to care for your skin afterward.
We welcome patients from Avon, Farmington, and Greater Hartford. To get started, you can request a consultation or call (860) 242-0505. We’ll look at your skin, answer your questions, and help you plan your first treatment.

Active inflamed acne in the treatment area needs to be addressed first. Once your skin is calm, microneedling can be considered for selected scars left behind by previous breakouts.
Yes, you can discuss a single session at consultation. For established acne scars or persistent texture changes, a planned series may provide more useful improvement than one visit.
Light flaking or dryness can occur. Avoid scrubbing or pulling at loose skin, and use the aftercare products recommended by your provider. Let us know if irritation is worsening.
Yes. The $475 full-face session includes Dermapen 4 microneedling, MG-EXO-SKIN exosome serum application, skin assessment, treatment planning, and aftercare guidance.
