A consultation is required before this treatment. It's part of how we protect both your results and your skin.
Enhancements may include exosome-based topical products, PDRN / polynucleotide products, Lucente, or other provider-approved options layered into a microneedling session. They are discussed during consultation and are never added without your understanding and agreement.
Why Adorn Offers It
We use conservative language and only offer regenerative options where we believe they may complement a treatment plan. They are not stem-cell therapy, not FDA-approved exosome therapy, and not guaranteed regenerative treatments.
Evidence & Research
When appropriate, Adorn may incorporate a provider-selected topical enhancement into a microneedling protocol based on treatment goals and skin suitability. Research surrounding some regenerative ingredients continues to evolve. These are not stem-cell therapy, FDA-approved exosome therapy, or guaranteed regenerative treatments.
