What Is Exceed™ Medical Microneedling — And Why It’s a Game-Changer in Skin Rejuvenation
What Makes Exceed™ Different?
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing response and boosts collagen and elastin production. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and soften the appearance of scars.
What sets Exceed™ Medical Microneedling apart is its clinical validation and precision. It is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device approved to treat both facial wrinkles and acne scars, making it a trusted option for corrective skin rejuvenation rather than cosmetic enhancement alone.
How Exceed™ Medical Microneedling Works
The Exceed device uses a high-precision motor with a sterile, single-use six-needle cartridge to create uniform micro-channels in the skin. Depth and speed are adjustable, allowing your provider to tailor treatment to specific areas and skin concerns.
This level of control allows for:
Consistent, precise needle penetration
Reduced surface trauma compared to older devices
Safer treatment around delicate areas like the eyes
Improved comfort and predictable healing
By stimulating the skin’s repair process, Exceed promotes collagen remodeling beneath the surface, leading to smoother texture, firmer skin, and improved overall tone over time.
Key Benefits of Exceed™ Medical Microneedling
Smoother, Firmer Skin
Collagen and elastin production increases following treatment, helping skin appear tighter and more youthful.
Reduction in Acne Scars and Fine Lines
Because Exceed is FDA-cleared for acne scars and wrinkles, it is especially effective for addressing deeper texture concerns that many devices cannot safely treat.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone
Microneedling encourages cell turnover and healing, resulting in brighter, more even-looking skin.
Minimized Appearance of Pores
As collagen rebuilds beneath the skin, pores often appear smaller and more refined.
Enhanced Product Absorption
The micro-channels created during treatment allow medical-grade serums and post-care products to penetrate more effectively.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients experience mild redness and sensitivity that resolves within one to two days, making Exceed a convenient option for busy schedules.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
An Exceed microneedling session typically takes under an hour. A topical numbing agent is often applied beforehand to maximize comfort. After treatment, patients are advised to keep the skin hydrated, avoid sun exposure, and follow a gentle skincare routine.
For best results, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is recommended. Improvements continue to develop over time as collagen production increases.
Why Medical-Grade Microneedling Matters
While at-home microneedling tools may offer mild benefits, medical microneedling with Exceed is performed by trained professionals using FDA-cleared technology. This ensures precise depth control, enhanced safety, and consistent results — particularly for concerns like acne scarring, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
