Exosome treatments in Montreal

Exosomes are the small particles your cells use to send signals to one another. At Ideal Body Clinic they are offered two ways: injected, prepared from a sample of your own blood taken at the visit, or applied to the skin immediately after a microneedling session. Both are given as one part of a wider treatment plan, and the consultation decides which one belongs in yours.

How it works

What do exosomes do?

They give your skin extra repair signals.

Exosomes are tiny particles your cells use to talk to each other. That signalling is part of how skin repairs and renews itself. The practitioner adds them right after microneedling, or injects a preparation made from your own blood. Any change in texture and tone shows over several weeks, and results vary from person to person.

Results

Your results, step by step

Your visits follow your main treatment’s schedule. Changes show over several weeks.

  1. Your visit · 30 to 60 min

    The exosome step, inside your treatment

    The practitioner does your microneedling first, then applies the exosomes while the skin is open. Or a small blood sample is drawn and prepared for injection. The step can sting briefly on fresh skin.

  2. Same day

    Warm and red, so keep skin bare

    Your skin is red and warm from the microneedling, or tender where the needle went in. Keep your skin bare for the rest of the day.

  3. 24 to 48 hours

    The redness settles

    Most of the visible downtime is over. Some people see brighter skin at this point.

  4. Several weeks

    Texture and tone can improve

    Changes show over several weeks, in step with your main treatment.

  5. Afterwards

    Upkeep set with your plan

    How long the effect lasts is still being studied. Your practitioner sets any upkeep with your main treatment.

    Had the exosomes on my scalp alongside the other scalp treatment I was already doing. The shedding in the shower slowed noticeably by the second month. Six sessions, spread out, and the scalp assessment at the start was more thorough than I expected.

    J’ai utilisé les exosomes après un traitement de resurfaçage, surtout parce que j’avais un mariage onze jours plus tard. J’étais présentable deux bonnes journées plus tôt que la fois d’avant, sans eux. Difficile de dire ce qui leur revient, mais je recommencerais.

    Alexandra M. · September 2026 · Google

  • ★★★★★

    I added the exosomes to my microneedling session on the nurse’s recommendation. The redness settled by the next morning instead of dragging on for two days the way it usually does. Three sessions in now.

    Noémie V. · August 2026 · Google

  • ★★★★★

    Asked a lot of questions about exosomes before agreeing to anything and got straight answers, including that the long-term data is still limited. That is not the pitch I expected, and it is why I booked.

    Thomas L. · July 2026 · Google

  • ★★★★★

    Ma peau paraissait plus éclatante environ une semaine après la première séance. La texture des joues a demandé les trois séances d’exosomes au complet et n’est pas encore parfaite : gardez ce délai en tête.

    Farah H. · June 2026 · Google

  • ★★★★★

    Booked the triLift microneedling version for texture and the lift version for my cheeks. Different recoveries (the microneedling needed a day), but both did what they said.

    Karine B. · September 2026 · Google

  • ★★★★★

    Rouge environ une journée après les polynucléotides et présentable le lendemain matin, exactement comme annoncé. L’étape de microneedling ressemblait à un léger grattement, rien de pire.

    Stéphanie D. · September 2026 · Google

  • ★★★★★

    Trois séances de PRP pour des cicatrices d’acné, combinées au microneedling chaque fois. La texture de mes joues est bien plus lisse. Les creux plus profonds près des tempes ont à peine bougé.

    Jonathan P. · September 2026 · Google

  • ★★★★★

    J’avais fait trois fois le microneedling par radiofréquence plus léger ailleurs, en payant à chaque fois pour de petits résultats. Une séance de Profound a fait plus que les trois réunies. Cher, mais le calcul était bon.

A prepared signal added to a plan, or your own blood as the treatment

Both work by asking your skin to repair. They differ in what is put in, how it gets there, and how much is known about it.

Your visit

The exosome step sits inside another appointment

Given by trained physicians and nurses, after a medical assessment with a physician.

  1. First visit

    Assessment and plan

    Your practitioner assesses your skin and your main treatment first, then recommends the exosome option that belongs in the plan, or says that none does. First injectable visit: $130, credited back once you spend $500 + tax or more.

  2. Same visit

    The main treatment, or the blood draw

    On the microneedling route, the microneedling session is done first. On the injected route, a small sample of your blood is drawn and prepared instead.

  3. Right after

    The exosome step

    The preparation is applied to the skin immediately after microneedling, while the channels are still open, or injected into the areas selected for it.

  4. Right after

    Nothing on the skin, and a date

    The skin is left bare for the rest of the day, and the next session is booked to the rhythm of your main treatment rather than to a separate schedule.

  • Tell your practitioner what else is planned

    The exosome step has to be timed to the right treatment

  • Stop retinoids, acids and exfoliants five days before

    Skin about to be microneedled should not already be irritated

  • Arrive with clean skin and no makeup

    The skin is cleansed and disinfected before anything is opened

Safety

Side effects, who should wait, and what we do not claim

Most of what you will feel comes from the treatment the exosomes were added to. On the regulatory side, we would rather be plain than reassuring: there is no blanket approval for exosomes in aesthetic medicine in Canada, and classification is decided product by product.

  • A practitioner assesses your skin and your main treatment before recommending it
  • Offered as part of a plan, never as a treatment on its own
  • Sterile single-use needles, and the price confirmed in writing first

Common and temporary

  • Redness, warmth and tightness for 24 to 48 hours, mostly from the microneedling
  • Tenderness and small marks at the injection points, on the injected route

Less common

  • Small bumps or a blocked pore in the days after a microneedling session
  • A cold sore flare, if you are prone to them and the area is near the mouth

Wait, or choose another option, if

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have an active skin infection, or a cold sore outbreak in the area to be treated
  • You have cancer, or are being treated for it
  • You take a medicine that suppresses your immune system, until your own doctor has been consulted
  • You have a history of keloid scarring, where microneedling is the route
  • You cannot safely have the main treatment the exosome step would be added to

Call the clinic or seek care right away if

Redness spreads instead of fading after 48 hours, the skin becomes hot and increasingly painful, pus or yellow crusting appears, or you develop a fever. An infection after a treatment that opens the skin is uncommon and is treated as urgent.

Best as an addition to a treatment you are already having
