COLLAGEN INDUCTION

Microneedling with Exosomes

Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to prompt the body's own collagen and elastin response. At FORMA, the procedure is paired with exosome serums applied to the freshly treated surface. Dr. Caio Trentin, MD, performs every treatment personally — assessment, the needling pass, and serum application — not a delegated injector. The plan, depth, and number of sessions are determined at your consultation, matched to your skin and your goals.

The Treatment

What microneedling with exosomes does

Microneedling uses a sterile, fine-needle device to create controlled micro-channels across the treatment area. The skin responds to these micro-injuries by initiating its natural repair process, which can support collagen and elastin production over time. Immediately after the needling pass, exosome serums are applied to the receptive skin surface as supportive topical care. Exosome products are not FDA-approved; at FORMA they are used conservatively as an adjunct to microneedling, never presented as an approved or indicated therapy. What microneedling can address, the depth used, and whether exosome serums are appropriate for you are determined at consultation.

The Physician Standard

Performed by Dr. Trentin, personally

At FORMA there is one physician and one standard. Dr. Caio Trentin, MD — trained in Internal Medicine and Aesthetic Medicine — performs the consultation, the microneedling pass, and the serum application himself. You are not handed off to a delegated injector. That continuity means the person assessing your skin is the same person treating it, and the same person guiding your aftercare.

Candidacy

Whether it suits you

Microneedling is considered for skin texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines and certain scarring. Suitability depends on your skin type, history, current skin condition, and what you want to change. Some conditions and medications make microneedling inadvisable. Dr. Trentin reviews your history and examines your skin before recommending any plan. Candidacy and the number of sessions are individualized — there is no single protocol applied to everyone.

What to Expect

What to expect, start to finish

Your visit begins with a private consultation: Dr. Trentin reviews your medical and skin history, examines the area, and discusses what microneedling can and cannot do for you. If you proceed, the skin is cleansed and a topical numbing preparation is applied and given time to take effect. Dr. Trentin then performs the microneedling pass at the depth chosen for your skin, followed by application of exosome serums to the treated surface. The active treatment portion is typically brief. Mild redness and a warm, sensitive feeling are common immediately afterward. Before you leave, Dr. Trentin reviews your personalized aftercare and answers your questions. Any future sessions are spaced according to the plan set at consultation.

Aftercare

Aftercare

Skin is usually pink, warm, and sensitive for a short period after treatment — similar to mild sunburn — and these effects generally settle over the following day or days. General guidance is to keep the skin clean and gently hydrated, avoid heavy makeup and active or exfoliating products for a short window, protect the area from direct sun, and avoid intense heat and vigorous exercise immediately after. Your specific written aftercare instructions are provided to you after treatment and take precedence over any general guidance, because they are tailored to your skin and what was performed. If anything seems unusual as you heal, contact the practice.
