PRP Microneedling with Plant-Derived Exosome Serum, Calgary
At PHI Medical Aesthetics, we use evidence-based approaches to support your skin's health. This guide explains plant-derived exosomes and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), how they work together, and the professional, clinician-led approach we take to assess your skin's unique needs.
What Is PRP Microneedling with Plant-Derived Exosome Serum?
We pair PRP microneedling with a topical, plant-derived exosome serum as part of a clinician-led skin plan.
How it works
PRP uses a concentration of platelets from your own blood. These platelets contain growth factors that play a big role in your body's natural healing response.
Exosomes: The exosomes we use are plant-derived. They are tiny vesicles extracted from plants and used in cosmetic serums. They are not of human or animal origin and are never injected. The serum is applied to the skin surface for a hydrated, refreshed look.
Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, and the PRP is used during that part of your session.
What can this treatment help address?
Plant-derived exosomes and PRP are usually part of a comprehensive plan to help with several skin concerns:
| Aesthetic Concern | Target Benefit |
|---|---|
| Textural concerns | Softens the look of fine lines and refines skin texture |
| Uneven skin tone | Helps brighten and balance the appearance of the complexion |
| Skin hydration | Restores a healthy, radiant glow and improves moisture levels |
| Finishing step | A plant-derived exosome serum applied to the skin surface for a hydrated, refreshed look |

Preparation & Comfort
The appointment usually takes about 60 minutes. We'll start with a small blood draw (for the PRP), which is processed in a centrifuge. We'll often use a numbing cream beforehand to make sure you're comfortable.
Targeted Delivery
The PRP is used during your microneedling session, and the plant-derived exosome serum is applied to the skin surface at the end.
Recovery
You might notice some redness, similar to a mild sunburn, for about 24 to 48 hours after treatment.Some patients also see minor swelling or bruising in the treatment area, but this usually clears up quickly.
Progressive Renewal
Skin rejuvenation is a process. While every plan is different, we often recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced several weeks apart to see the best outcomes. We'll outline a personalized schedule for you during your assessment.
