At Zoyya Anti-Aging & Aesthetics, microneedling is a lot more than what most people picture. Yes, it still creates thousands of tiny channels in the skin to kick collagen production into gear. But when you pair that with liquid gold PRP or cutting-edge exosome technology, you get something far more powerful, real, visible improvement in texture, tone, and scarring that actually lasts
We offer this treatment in Garden City, Long Island, in a clean, comfortable, physician-led setting. No high-volume chains. No esthetician-level devices. Just medical-grade tools, high-concentration biologics, and a physician who genuinely tailors the treatment to your skin.
What Is Microneedling with PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It comes from a small sample of your own blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the growth factors your body naturally uses to heal itself.
We process PRP to a high concentration. Some people call it “liquid gold” because of the rich amber color once it’s ready. That growth-factor-dense serum gets applied to your skin immediately after microneedling, when the micro-channels are wide open and ready to absorb it deep into the dermis.
The result? Your body’s natural repair signals get turned up. Collagen production accelerates. And skin that’s been dull, uneven, or scarred starts to remodel itself from within.
What PRP microneedling is good for:
- Fine lines and surface wrinkles
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Mild to moderate acne scars
- Sun damage and dull skin tone
- Early skin laxity on the face, neck, and chest
Microneedling with Exosomes — The Upgrade Most Practices Don’t Offer
Exosomes are tiny cellular messengers, extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, growth factors, and signaling molecules from one cell to another. Think of them as the body’s internal communication network for repair.
When used after microneedling, exosomes don’t just encourage your skin to heal. They actively instruct the healing process, telling skin cells to produce more collagen, calm inflammation, and regenerate faster.
Here’s the part that surprises most people: exosomes contain up to 100x more signaling molecules than standard PRP. That’s not a small difference. For patients dealing with deep acne scarring, crepey texture on the neck and chest, or skin that has stopped responding to basic microneedling, exosomes are often the turning point.
A note on safety: The exosomes we use are lab-derived, rigorously tested, and sourced from ethically screened cell lines. They are not made from your own blood, which actually gives us more control over concentration and potency.
Who tends to benefit most from exosome microneedling:
- Patients with deep or pitted acne scars that peels and facials couldn’t address
- Anyone experiencing “crepey” skin on the neck or décolletage
- Patients who’ve done standard microneedling before but plateaued
- Anyone who wants faster recovery, exosomes actively reduce post-treatment inflammation
PRP vs. Exosomes: Which One Is Right for You?
Both work beautifully alongside microneedling. The difference is mostly in depth of concern and how aggressively you want to accelerate results.
PRP is often the right starting point when:
- Your main concerns are texture, pores, or early signs of aging
- You prefer using your own body’s biology as the treatment source
- You’re maintaining results from previous treatments
Exosomes tend to be the better fit when:
- You have moderate to severe acne scarring
- You want maximum potency in fewer sessions
- You need to minimize downtime and get back to your life faster
- PRP hasn’t given you the results you were hoping for
We’ll look at your skin in person and make an honest recommendation. There’s no pressure to choose the more expensive option, just what actually makes sense for your goals.
What to Expect at Your Microneedling Appointment at Zoyya
Most microneedling sessions at Zoyya take between 45 and 75 minutes from start to finish. Here’s how a typical appointment goes:
Recovery and Results — What’s Realistic
Downtime for standard PRP microneedling is typically 24–72 hours of redness and mild sensitivity. With exosomes, many patients report noticeably less inflammation, and some feel comfortable returning to their routine the next day.
You can usually wear makeup again within 24–48 hours.
As for results, they build over time. Collagen remodeling is a gradual process. Most patients notice meaningful improvement 4–6 weeks after their first session. The full effect of a treatment series becomes visible 3–4 months in.
How many sessions do you need?
For general skin quality and texture, most people see great results with 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
For deeper acne scarring, we typically recommend 4–6 sessions, and in some cases a combination approach using different treatment depths at different intervals.
You won’t be pushed into a package upfront. We start with one session, assess how your skin responds, and plan from there.
On Long Island, you have options. Med spas, esthetician studios, and beauty chains all offer microneedling. So why does where you go actually matter?
The answer is depth, both literally and figuratively.
Physician-grade microneedling devices can penetrate to the exact depths where collagen and elastin remodeling actually happens. For someone dealing with deep acne scars or crepey neck skin, that difference is significant. Many patients have told us they did multiple sessions at other places and just stopped seeing improvement, until they came to Zoyya.
Dr. Anton Georgiev is board-certified in surgery, fellowship trained, and has spent 15 years refining his approach to aesthetic medicine on Long Island. He personally assesses your skin at consultation and calibrates every treatment to your specific anatomy.
That’s not something you’ll get at a chain spa offering microneedling as an add-on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the blood draw for PRP painful?
It’s a small draw, less than you’d give at a routine lab visit. Most patients say the numbing cream phase is more of an inconvenience than the blood draw itself. Quick, easy, and done while you’re getting comfortable.
Where do the exosomes come from? Are they safe?
The exosomes we use are lab-derived from carefully screened cell lines, not from your own blood or from donor tissue. They go through rigorous testing for safety and potency before use. We’re happy to walk you through the sourcing in detail at your consultation.
What’s the difference between PRP and exosomes?
PRP is made from your own blood and contains your body’s own growth factors and platelets. Exosomes are lab-derived cellular messengers that carry signaling molecules to direct skin repair, and they contain significantly more of those signals per unit than standard PRP. Exosomes also tend to reduce inflammation more effectively, which shortens recovery time.
Do you offer microneedling near me in Garden City or surrounding Long Island areas?
Zoyya Anti-Aging & Aesthetics is located at 400 Garden City Plaza, Suite 107B in Garden City, NY. We serve patients from across Nassau County, including Mineola, Hempstead, Garden City, and surrounding Long Island communities.
How many sessions do I actually need to see my acne scars improve?
That depends on the depth of the scarring. Mild scarring may respond well in 3 sessions. Moderate to deep pitting typically needs 4–6 sessions, sometimes combined with varied needle depths across sessions. We’ll give you an honest estimate at your first visit, not a hard sell.
When can I wear makeup after treatment?
Most patients are comfortable applying mineral makeup 24–48 hours after their session. We’ll give you specific aftercare guidance based on your treatment and skin type.
Can microneedling be done on the neck and chest too?
Yes. Crepey or loose skin on the neck and décolletage responds very well to microneedling with exosomes in particular. These areas are often overlooked at other practices, we treat them regularly and with excellent results.
