Microneedling works on a fundamental principle of skin biology: the body responds to controlled injury by producing collagen and elastin. Precision micro-channels created in the skin trigger a healing cascade: fibroblast activation, new collagen synthesis, elastin production, and improved dermal architecture, that continues for months after each treatment session.
Where microneedling becomes genuinely powerful is in what those channels deliver. Micro-channels created by fine needles are the most direct route to the dermis available in non-invasive aesthetics. At Arbour Longevity we use them to deliver what produces the most meaningful clinical outcome for your specific concern: PRP for the Vampire Facial®, exosomes for maximum growth factor density, or GHK-Cu copper peptide for targeted collagen stimulation and skin remodeling.
Every Arbour Longevity microneedling treatment is performed by a skilled clinician with the precision technique and clinical knowledge that determines the difference between a cosmetic service and a genuine skin protocol.

Your own PRP. Delivered exactly where collagen is made.
The Vampire Facial® applies platelet-rich plasma, drawn from your own blood and concentrated through centrifugation, during microneedling. PRP delivers PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and EGF growth factors directly into fresh micro-channels at the most biologically receptive moment. The most clinically studied microneedling enhancement available. Arbour Longevity is a licensed Cellular Medicine Association (CMA) provider: the Vampire Facial® name is only used by licensed practitioners. Full-face protocol uses a clinical-grade PRP kit for optimal growth factor concentration.
Areas
Per Session
Exosome · Maximum Regenerative Signal
More growth factors than PRP. The most advanced enhancement available.
Exosome therapy delivers over 1,000 growth factors, cytokines, and signaling proteins derived from stem cells, significantly more concentrated than PRP. Delivered into micro-channels immediately after microneedling, exosomes reach the dermal layer at maximum concentration with no surface absorption loss. Accelerated collagen production, enhanced regeneration, and a more complete skin remodeling response. Particularly effective for advanced anti-aging, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation.
Areas
Per Session
Peptide · Collagen Remodeling
Copper peptide delivered where it rewrites collagen gene expression.
GHK-Cu activates collagen and elastin gene expression, promotes tissue remodeling, reduces inflammation, and stimulates glycosaminoglycan production that supports skin structure and hydration. Delivered into micro-channels, GHK-Cu reaches the dermis at therapeutic concentrations that surface application cannot achieve. Particularly effective for fine lines, skin laxity, scar remodeling, and overall skin quality improvement.
Areas
Per Session
Scalp · Follicular Stimulation
Follicular stimulation and maximum delivery enhancement for hair restoration.
Scalp microneedling creates micro-channels that simultaneously stimulate follicular activity and allow exosomes, PRP, or topical medications to penetrate to follicular depth. Available standalone or as a delivery enhancement add-on to any hair restoration protocol. Most impactful combined with exosome therapy. Also part of Arbour Longevity's full hair restoration program.

Body · Scar & Stretch Mark Treatment
Collagen remodeling where surface treatments have never reached.
Body microneedling brings collagen induction to surgical scars, post-pregnancy stretch marks, injury scars, and body skin laxity. Surface treatments cannot address these areas meaningfully: microneedling triggers the collagen remodeling response directly in the affected tissue. Enhanced with exosomes or GHK-Cu for accelerated healing outcomes. Priced per treatment area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling: collagen induction therapy creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles, triggering the body's natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin. At Arbour Longevity it is available standard and enhanced with PRP (Vampire Facial®, CMA licensed), exosomes (1,000+ growth factors), or GHK-Cu copper peptide serum. Results are cumulative: improving over 3–6 months as new collagen rebuilds.
The Vampire Facial® is a trademarked CMA-licensed treatment applying platelet-rich plasma during microneedling, delivering concentrated growth factors into fresh micro-channels for significantly enhanced collagen stimulation. Arbour Longevity is a licensed CMA provider. Price is $799 per session, reflecting the clinical-grade PRP kit required for a full-face protocol. Series of 3: $2,195 (saving $202). Available with face, face + neck, and under-eye area options.
Arbour Longevity microneedling pricing: Standard Face $350 · Face + Neck $425 · Face + Neck + Décolleté $495 · Vampire Facial® $799 · Microneedling + Exosome $695 · Microneedling + GHK-Cu $495 · Body per area $295 · Scalp $250.

For anti-aging and general skin quality: 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is the standard initial series, with collagen continuing to develop 3–6 months after completion. For acne scarring and stretch marks: 4–6 sessions may be recommended. One session produces visible glow improvement; the cumulative series produces the most significant structural change. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months sustain results.
Vampire Facial® uses your own PRP, autologous growth factors drawn from your blood. It is the most clinically studied microneedling enhancement and produces excellent results. Exosome therapy delivers 1,000+ growth factors from stem cells, a significantly higher concentration than PRP, with no blood draw required. For patients seeking the most advanced enhancement, exosomes represent the more concentrated regenerative signal. For patients who prefer an autologous (own-blood) approach, the Vampire Facial® is the clear choice.
"The Vampire Facial® series of 3 completely changed my skin's texture and tone. My acne scars from years ago are visibly reduced. Worth every dollar, the PRP combination is genuinely different from standard microneedling."
"I appreciated that they explained every compound's FDA status before we started anything. That transparency is what sold me. The results spoke for themselves: 26 lbs in 4 months."
"The body microneedling for my stretch marks after pregnancy: I had resigned myself to keeping them. After 4 sessions with GHK-Cu the texture and color have improved dramatically. I genuinely didn't think this was possible."

Microneedling's primary anti-aging application: new collagen and elastin production rebuilds the dermal architecture that fine lines and skin laxity represent the loss of. The Age Reversal protocol produces the most significant collagen response.
Atrophic (depressed) acne scars respond to microneedling through collagen induction that gradually fills and remodels the scarred tissue. Results require consistency: 4–6 sessions typically produce the most significant improvement. Exosome enhancement accelerates the remodeling response.
Microneedling addresses hyperpigmentation by stimulating cellular turnover in the pigmented layers and delivering brightening compounds deeper than topical application reaches. GHK-Cu promotes melanin regulation and skin tone evenness, an excellent combination for uneven tone and sun damage.
Pore size is determined by the collagen scaffold surrounding each follicle. As collagen degrades with age, pores appear larger. Microneedling rebuilds that collagen framework, tightening the pore structure from within over a series of sessions. Standard microneedling is highly effective; exosome enhancement accelerates the outcome.
Overall skin texture improvement is the most universally reported outcome of microneedling: the cellular turnover, improved hydration from glycosaminoglycan production, and new collagen all contribute to smoother, more refined skin surface from the first session.
Stretch marks are dermal scarring: collagen and elastin disruption from rapid skin stretching. Body microneedling triggers collagen remodeling directly in the affected tissue. Results are gradual but measurable: texture, color, and depth improvement across a complete series. GHK-Cu enhancement accelerates tissue remodeling.
Mature scars (6+ months old) respond well to microneedling through the collagen remodeling process that gradually improves texture, color, and scar depth. Body microneedling brings this mechanism directly to the affected tissue. Exosome enhancement supports the healing and remodeling process at a cellular level.
The neck and décolleté are among the most neglected areas in skin treatment despite being among the most visible. Skin laxity, horizontal neck lines, sun damage, and textural changes respond well to microneedling with collagen induction. The Face + Neck + Décolleté protocol addresses all three zones in a single session.
The periorbital area, fine lines, crepey texture, loss of firmness under the eye, responds to gentle microneedling with appropriate depth parameters. GHK-Cu copper peptide is particularly effective in this area for its collagen and elastin stimulating properties combined with its anti-inflammatory effect that addresses the vascular component of under-eye appearance.
