Microneedling is a clinically proven, medical-grade treatment performed using the SkinPen — an FDA-cleared device used in medicine for wound healing and skin regeneration. The SkinPen creates precisely controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body’s natural repair response and ramping up collagen and elastin production. The result? Firmer, smoother, more youthful skin. It’s an effective clinical choice for reducing fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, or simply giving your skin a genuine medical-grade boost.
The SkinPen is designed for precision and patient comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or slight warmth rather than pain. We apply a numbing cream beforehand to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout your treatment.
A SkinPen treatment session typically lasts around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. This includes preparation time and the application of numbing cream prior to the procedure.
Because the SkinPen is a medical-grade device, the treatment is carefully controlled to minimise downtime. You may notice some redness or mild sensitivity for around 24–48 hours — similar to light sunburn — after which your skin will begin to heal and glow.
No — they are different. PRP uses your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors. Exosome therapy uses externally sourced vesicles rich in growth factors and RNA. Exosomes are considered by many practitioners to be more consistent, require no blood draw, and carry no risk of immune reaction. Both aim to stimulate natural repair processes in the skin.
Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin that dramatically improve the absorption of topical products — up to 80% deeper than standard application. Applying exosomes directly after microneedling allows the growth factors and regenerative molecules to penetrate far more effectively, amplifying the results of both treatments. The combination is popular for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and scar repair.
Many clients report less redness and faster healing when exosomes are used alongside microneedling, due to the anti-inflammatory properties of exosomes. Downtime is generally 12–48 hours rather than 2–3 days. Skin often feels noticeably calmer and more hydrated immediately after the procedure.
Bryony and Steph went above and beyond yesterday to help me with a pre-wedding cystic breakout. Whenever I get treatments from Ametrine they are just the kindest, most attentive girls. I’m neurodivergent and Steph even gave me something I could fidget with/ was totally fine with me needing to shuffle and move throughout the treatment which was such a lovely touch and helped me properly relax. My skin has completely calmed down today after the treatment and is wedding ready. So grateful and highly recommend 💕
I can’t recommend both of them enough, such a lovely welcoming place and amazing, experienced people. My skin has improved exponentially since I started visiting Steph and Bryony was so knowledgeable, efficient and tranparent throughout the procedure ♥️
Bryony was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. She didn’t push for any unnecessary treatment, which I truly appreciated. We chatted about my overall goals before receiving the treatment, to make sure it was right for me and Bryony also gave me as much time as I needed to ask questions and chat through new treatments I was curious of.

I’m so glad I came across Ametrine Aesthetics. Bryony and the team are so lovely. I can be quite anxious when it comes to facial injections (which can come across a bit difficult!) but they always make me feel completely at ease and comfortable – thank you!!
I highly recommend Ametrine to anyone looking for experts in aesthetics. Bryony is awesome, I have felt totally at ease during my treatments and look forward to continuing my mid-life glow up!
I also highly recommend Hannah for microneedling, after just one session my skin is glowing.
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles — naturally produced by cells to carry growth factors, proteins, and regenerative signals. In skin treatments, lab-derived exosomes are applied topically during microneedling, delivering a powerful package of cellular signals directly into the dermis to amplify your skin’s natural healing response.
