Microneedling in Mexico
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to revitalize and smooth your skin. Performed under the care of our aesthetic specialist, Dr. Raquel Martin, microneedling uses ultra-fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the top layer of the skin. This natural triggering process stimulates your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin, restoring firmness, elasticity, and a youthful glow.
How Microneedling Works
During the treatment, a motorized device with sterile micro-needles glides across the skin, puncturing the epidermis at precise depths. The micro-channels created by the procedure activate the body’s natural wound-healing response:
- Inflammation: The skin triggers localized blood flow and tissue repair.
- Proliferation: New blood vessels and skin cells form alongside collagen and elastin fibers.
- Remodeling: The skin surface tightens and smooths as the newly formed collagen matures over several weeks.
This process targets common skin concerns such as fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and dull texture.
What to Expect:
- Consultation: Meet with Dr. Raquel Martin to assess your skin and choose standard or exosome microneedling.
- Prep: Stop retinoids, exfoliants, blood thinners, and sun exposure 3–5 days prior.
- Treatment: Topical numbing cream ensures a comfortable session with only mild vibration or tingling.
- Recovery: Expect mild sunburn-like redness for 24–48 hours; return to normal activities in 24 hours.
- Results: Radiance improves in 1–2 weeks, with full collagen building over 3–6 months.
Next-Level Skin Regeneration: Microneedling with Exosomes
For advanced skin rejuvenation, Dr. Raquel Martin at Cellular Stem Cell® in Tijuana, Mexico offers Microneedling with Exosome Therapy.
Exosomes are cell-derived messenger vesicles rich in growth factors, cytokines, peptides, and RNA signaling molecules. When applied immediately following a microneedling session, exosomes absorb deep into the dermal layer through the micro-channels created by the needles.
Benefits of Adding Exosomes to Microneedling:
- Accelerated Healing: Significantly reduces post-procedure redness and swelling.
- Enhanced Collagen Synthesis: Amplifies cellular signaling to boost collagen and elastin production faster than microneedling alone.
- Superior Pigmentation & Texture Repair: Targets stubborn sun spots, melasma, and deep acne scarring.
- Deep Cellular Hydration: Promotes overall skin radiance and cellular longevity.
How the Procedure is Performed
The microneedling procedure is safe, gentle, and performed in a comfortable, clinical environment.
- Topical Numbing: A cream is applied to ensure total comfort throughout the treatment.
- Precision Application: Dr. Raquel Martin passes the device across targeted facial or body areas, adjusting needle depth based on skin thickness and specific concerns.
- Topical Serums/Exosomes: Customized serums or exosome solutions are applied during or immediately following treatment for maximum absorption.
- Duration: The procedure typically takes 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Most patients achieve optimal skin rejuvenation with 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. However, many notice a visible improvement in skin brightness, texture, and tone after just one treatment with Dr. Raquel Martin.
Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream is applied 20 to 30 minutes before the procedure to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the session.
You can expect improved skin hydration and a healthy glow within 7 to 10 days. Deep collagen structural remodeling, fine line softening, and scar reduction continue over the next 3 to 6 months.
