Reverse & Slow Down Aging with Microneedling and Exosomes in Newport Beach, CA

Microneedling provides incredible rejuvenation benefits to the skin. Dr. Cambria Judd, MD, with over a decade of aesthetic expertise, elevates this treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell exosome therapy for stunning results. This article breaks down microneedling, PRP, exosomes, and their combined benefits, drawing from Dr. Judd’s microneedling expertise and exosome insights, to help you achieve a youthful, radiant glow.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, boosting production of collagen and elastin—proteins that keep skin firm and youthful. Performed in Dr. Judd’s Newport Beach practice, microneedling in Newport Beach, CA, takes about an hour and requires minimal downtime, making it ideal for busy coastal lifestyles. It’s a versatile treatment for addressing wrinkles, uneven skin tone, scars, and sun damage.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny vesicles (nano-sized particles) released by mesenchymal stem cells, acting as messengers that carry growth factors, proteins, and genetic material to support cell communication and repair. In exosome therapy, these vesicles are sourced from rigorously tested stem cells and applied topically during microneedling to boost skin regeneration, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue repair. Exosomes amplify the skin’s natural healing, making them a cutting-edge addition to skin rejuvenation in Newport Beach, CA.

What Causes Aging & How do Exosomes Help? 

Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute lead to skin aging by causing an overall declined stem cell function in our bodies. (Intrinsic factors are natural, gradual changes that occur with age, while extrinsic factors are environmental factors such as UV rays, skin damage, hydration, diet, alcohol, exercise, climate, stress, etc). This causes a reduced ability by the body to regenerate and repair our cells, so we produce less Collagen and Elastin, which are the building blocks of youthful skin. 

Collagen is responsible for tensile strength, while elastin provides elasticity to the skin. The compound effect over time of an internal decline in these essential proteins shows up externally as ‘aging’ on our face and body.

How do exosomes help??  Exosomes help combat both intrinsic and extrinsic aging factors that cause a decline in our natural stem cell production by helping your body stimulate a larger production of collagen and elastin.
