Enhance Your Microneedling Results with BENEV Exosomes 

Microneedling creates precise micro-channels in the skin, allowing for enhanced absorption of advanced regenerative serums. For clients who want amplified results, BENEV Exosomes may be added to support accelerated skin recovery and collagen response.

Exosomes are cell-derived messengers that deliver growth factors and proteins to support tissue repair and skin regeneration.

Why add exosomes?

→ Support collagen and elastin production
→ Improve overall tone and brightness
→ Help reduce redness and irritation
→ Enhance recovery following treatment

This enhancement is ideal for clients focused on advanced rejuvenation and optimized results.

Microneedling with PRF

PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) uses your body’s own growth factors to support collagen production, skin renewal, and post-treatment recovery. When combined with microneedling, PRF can enhance overall skin rejuvenation and support smoother, healthier-looking skin.

PRF may be recommended as part of a customized microneedling treatment plan.
