Discover the difference between microneedling with PRP and exosomes. Learn which treatment is best for your skin or hair goals at Ageless Vitality Center in Tampa.

Microneedling has become one of the most popular ways to refresh skin, boost collagen, and tackle concerns like fine lines, scars, and thinning hair. At Ageless Vitality Center, we offer two advanced microneedling options: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Exosomes. While both deliver excellent results, they work in different ways—and one may be better suited for your specific goals.

Let’s break down the differences so you can make an informed decision.

What Is Microneedling with PRP?

PRP therapy uses a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. These platelets contain growth factors that help repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and stimulate new collagen. During the treatment, your blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge, and then applied to the skin after microneedling to penetrate deep into the dermis.

Best for:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Dull or uneven skin tone
  • Thinning hair

Why patients choose it: PRP is 100% natural and uses your body’s own healing power. It’s an excellent option for people seeking a natural, regenerative approach to skin and hair restoration.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles harvested from stem cells. They act like messengers that tell your skin cells to regenerate and repair. In skincare, exosomes are prized for their high concentration of growth factors, peptides, and RNA that accelerate healing and improve skin health.

Best for:

  • Advanced skin aging
  • Sun damage
  • Dehydrated or fragile skin
  • Boosting results from other treatments

Why patients choose it: Exosome therapy offers more intensive skin rejuvenation. It can be a good option if you want maximum impact without downtime or if you’ve plateaued with PRP or other treatments.

Which One Is Right for You?

Your ideal choice depends on your treatment goals, skin condition, and comfort level with regenerative treatments. If you're seeking a natural boost and early intervention, PRP may be the right starting point. If you're ready for next-level skin renewal, exosomes can offer a powerful upgrade.
