When your skin looks tired even when you are not, it can make you feel less like yourself.
Uneven texture, visible pores, early lines, and lingering marks can leave the skin looking less rested and refined—even when you are doing everything right at home.
Ultra V Exosomes with Microneedling is Adarna’s doctor-led skin-quality treatment for patients who want smoother, fresher-looking skin without changing the features that make them unmistakably themselves.
The goal is not artificial perfection. It is skin that looks healthier, feels more even, and needs less effort to look composed.
What is Ultra V Exosomes with Microneedling?
Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This carefully managed process activates the skin’s natural healing response and may gradually support collagen remodeling.
An Ultra V exosome-based solution is applied as a topical adjunct to the procedure. Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles involved in cell-to-cell communication. Early clinical research suggests that certain exosome-containing solutions may provide additional skin-quality benefits when combined with microneedling.
Exosomes are not live stem cells, and this treatment should not be described as stem-cell therapy. Research in aesthetic use remains developing, so results cannot be guaranteed or assumed to be the same across every exosome formulation.
This treatment may be suitable if you:
-
Feel that your skin looks dull, tired, or uneven
-
Want to soften the appearance of visible pores and rough texture
-
Have early fine lines or mild textural acne scarring
-
Want gradual skin-quality improvement without adding facial volume
-
Prefer a treatment plan customized to your skin rather than a one-depth-fits-all procedure
Active acne, infection, open wounds, or an irritated skin barrier may need to be treated first. Dr. Leigh will determine whether microneedling is appropriate for your skin and whether another treatment would be safer or more effective.
What results can I expect?
The skin may initially feel smoother and look more refreshed as it recovers. Improvements in texture, fine lines, and the appearance of pores usually develop more gradually over the following weeks as the skin’s remodeling response continues.
Results vary according to age, skin condition, treatment depth, sun exposure, aftercare, and individual healing. Mild or deep acne scars may require a different procedure or a combination treatment plan.
How many sessions will I need?
A series is often recommended because collagen remodeling develops gradually. The number and spacing of sessions will be determined by Dr. Leigh after assessing your skin and monitoring how it recovers.
Maintenance may be suggested, but more frequent treatment is not always better. The skin must be given enough time to heal between sessions.
Is there downtime?
Temporary redness, warmth, tightness, sensitivity, mild swelling, dryness, flaking, or pinpoint bleeding may occur. The skin may resemble a mild sunburn for the first few days, depending on the treatment depth.
Use only the gentle skincare recommended by Adarna while your skin barrier recovers. Avoid picking, scrubbing, exfoliating acids, retinoids, and unnecessary sun or heat exposure until Dr. Leigh advises that they may be resumed. Daily sun protection is especially important because healing skin can be more vulnerable to pigmentation.
Why does Dr. Leigh’s technique matter?
Microneedling results depend on more than passing a device over the skin.
Dr. Leigh selects the appropriate depth, pressure, number of passes, and treatment areas while accounting for your skin type and risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation. This is especially important for Filipino and other melanin-rich skin, where overly aggressive treatment may leave prolonged irritation or dark marks.
The goal is controlled stimulation—not maximum injury.
The difference is not simply what is placed on your skin.
It is knowing when to treat, how deeply to treat, and when your skin needs restraint instead.
Ultra V Exosomes with Microneedling is designed to support gradual, natural-looking skin refinement—so your complexion can feel clearer, smoother, and more quietly confident.
