Microneedling with HA, Salmon DNA & Exosomes
Microneedling with Advanced Serums

We elevate traditional microneedling by infusing premium serums during treatment, targeting your specific skin concerns with precision and delivering results that build progressively over time.
Book Your ConsultationWhat Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin — triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
At Lumiere Medspa in Arlington Heights, we take it further by infusing premium serums — hyaluronic acid, salmon DNA (PDRN), or plant-based exosomes — directly into those channels during treatment to maximize absorption and results. Every session is customized to your skin type, concerns, and goals.
Choose Your Microneedling Serum
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Deep hydration and plumping for all skin types. Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1,000x its weight in water, delivering intense hydration deep into the skin for a plump, dewy, luminous glow.
Best for: Dehydrated skin, fine lines, dull complexion, loss of plumpness, and anyone seeking hydration and radiance
Why we love HA: Immediate plumping effect, enhances skin barrier function, safe for sensitive skin, and creates a healthy, luminous glow
Ideal for: First-time microneedling clients and maintenance treatments.
Salmon DNA Cocktail (PDRN)
Advanced regenerative treatment for skin repair and rejuvenation. Salmon DNA (Polydeoxyribonucleotide/PDRN) is a biocompatible ingredient that promotes cellular regeneration, improves elasticity, and accelerates healing for meaningful anti-aging results.
Best for: Aging skin, acne scars, sun damage, dull or tired-looking complexion, and improving overall skin quality and tone
Why we love Salmon DNA: Stimulates tissue repair, improves firmness and elasticity, reduces inflammation, and enhances collagen synthesis
Ideal for: Clients seeking advanced anti-aging benefits, scar revision, and comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Plant-Based Exosomes (EXO/E)
The most advanced regenerative technology we offer. Plant-based exosomes are nano-sized vesicles derived from botanical sources that deliver powerful growth factors, peptides, and regenerative signals directly to skin cells for unprecedented rejuvenation and repair.
Best for: Advanced anti-aging, significant sun damage, acne scarring, loss of firmness, hyperpigmentation, and clients seeking the most results-driven treatment available
Why we love Exosomes: Accelerates healing, reduces downtime, stimulates collagen and elastin, improves texture, tone, and firmness — plant-based and biocompatible
Ideal for: Clients seeking cutting-edge technology and dramatic, long-lasting transformation.

What to Expect
Before Treatment
Avoid retinoids, exfoliating products, and blood thinners for 5–7 days prior. Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup. We’ll discuss your skin goals and help you select the ideal serum during your consultation.
During Treatment
Treatment takes 60–90 minutes. We’ll apply topical numbing cream for 20–30 minutes to ensure your comfort. Once numb, we use a precision microneedling device to create controlled micro-channels while infusing your chosen serum deep into the skin. Most clients experience minimal discomfort.
After Treatment
Skin will appear red and feel sensitive — similar to a mild sunburn — for 24–48 hours. Mild swelling and tightness are normal.
Peeling or flaking may occur days 3–5 as skin regenerates. Do not pick or scratch.
Initial glow is visible within 1 week. Collagen production continues for 4–6 weeks with progressive improvement.
Results Duration: Best results with a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results last 6–12 months with proper skincare and sun protection.
