Skin, reborn at a cellular level

At 33Dowanhill advanced science meets refined luxury. Our newest launch, Microneedling with Exosomes, represents a new era in skin therapy — designed not just to rejuvenate, but to renew at a cellular level.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are the skin’s cellular messengers of regeneration. These tiny, naturally occurring vesicles carry
growth factors, peptides, and antioxidants — delivering signals that awaken the skin’s innate ability to repair, restore, and renew.

When combined with microneedling, exosomes are absorbed more deeply, amplifying the treatment’s results and accelerating recovery. The effect? Skin that looks luminous, resilient, and reborn from within.

The Role of Medical-Grade Microneedling

Microneedling remains one of the most effective ways to trigger the body’s natural repair process. Using a medical grade, precision, device, ultra-fine needles create microchannels in the skin to:

  • Stimulate collagen and elastin production

  • Increase blood flow and oxygen delivery

  • Encourage the growth of fresh, healthy tissue

It’s a treatment designed for profound results, performed with the utmost care and precision.

Why Combine Microneedling with Exosomes?

On their own, both microneedling and exosomes are powerful. Combined, they create a synergistic transformation that takes skin rejuvenation to another level.

This advanced pairing works to:

  • Refine tone and texture

  • Visibly reduce scarring and pigmentation

  • Smooth lines and restore radiance

  • Strengthen skin against environmental stressors

The result: future-facing skin — clearer, smoother, and healthier at its foundation.

The Treatment Experience

Your journey begins with a luxurious cleanse and skin preparation. Next, the device is used to create precise microchannels, followed immediately by the infusion of advanced exosomes. To aid healing and reduce inflammation a session under our DermaLux LED hood.

This powerful combination awakens the skin’s regenerative capacity while soothing and accelerating recovery. You’ll leave with a post-treatment glow, and over the weeks that follow, skin becomes progressively smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

Downtime & Aftercare

While microneedling with exosomes is minimally invasive, some downtime is expected:

  • Day 1–2: Redness, warmth, and slight tightness — similar to a mild sunburn.

  • Day 3–4: Redness fades, skin feels smoother, and light dryness or flaking may occur.

  • Day 5 onwards: Visible downtime subsides, revealing a fresher glow.

Exosomes shorten recovery time, calming inflammation and reducing redness more quickly than microneedling alone.

Aftercare recommendations:

  • Avoid makeup, heat, and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours

  • Use only recommended soothing skincare and SPF

  • Support results with a personalised home routine

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Noticeable improvements are often seen after a single session, but for the most transformative results, we recommend a course of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results continue to evolve for months as collagen production remains active.

Menopausal Skincare Edits

Perimenopause and the menopause and the impact it has on us as women has never been talked about so openly and without shame. 

Considering this is something that we have or will all go through at some point in our lives, it is so important to get the right level of understanding about what this stage means, the impact it can have on us both physically and mentally and most importantly receive the right care to support us through what can be a difficult and challenging time of our lives.

Not to sound too L'Oreal about the whole thing but, we are worth it. We deserve this attention and more than ever we should be demanding the care we deserve.

I have had a lot of questions recently from clients about whether as we enter perimenopause, go through menopause or whether starting HRT can cause changes in our skin and the answer is of course YES! 

This doesn't happen for everyone it would be naive to think that, but large fluxes and changes in hormone levels will have an impact on our skin. Whether that is a decrease in oil production leaving your skin feeling parched, a surge in oil production and breakouts thanks to HRT or suddenly feeling like our faces have sagged/fallen off a cliff. These delightful side effects are all linked to hormonal imbalances.

One thing that has struck me is the tendency for larger companies to offer a one size fits all solution which is absolutely not the solution. All of our symptoms and our skin response to these fluctuations will be different so suggesting one “beauty” box or product will fix things for every women is unrealistic and feels quite patronising. We have always focused on the individual and have never been brand affiliated and therefore prescriptive to what we use on clients or suggest will work for them.

I have thought long and hard about what I can do to help support my clients who are experiencing symptoms and how we can help improve their daily lives while they are getting to grips with all the other issues they may be having while still maintaining our ethos and making sure our clients get the best possible care. 

Instead of offering a “menopause” facial which feels disingenuous we are instead offering our same Signature Facial (60mins with LED or Microcurrent) but including a complimentary skincare review to make sure we are suggesting the best possible products to support your through this period of change. We will also offer a donation to The Menopause Charity for every bottle of our Signature Blend Facial Oil that is purchased as part of a menopausal skincare edit.

There is more information below but, as always if anyone has any questions or suggestions I would be delighted to hear from you.
