Frequently Asked
Eco Booster Microneedling — common questions
The needling technology is identical (medical-grade automated device, same depths). What changes is the SERUMS: plant-derived growth factors instead of lab-synthesized peptides, botanical retinol instead of synthetic, bamboo and green tea enzyme mask instead of synthetic occlusives. Same results, cleaner inputs.
$275 per session at Solace. Slightly higher than standard microneedling ($250) due to premium clean-ingredient sourcing. CareCredit financing available.
Yes. Plant-derived growth factors stimulate the same collagen response as synthetic ones. The difference is in skin tolerance — reactive skin types often do better with plant-based formulations.
Marine plankton growth factors, sea fennel stem cells, edelweiss extract, green tea polyphenols, vitamin C from kakadu plum, hyaluronic acid from microbial fermentation. Specific blend customized to your skin type during consult.
Yes — all serums and products used in Eco Booster Microneedling are vegan, cruelty-free, and ethically sourced.
Yes — Eco Booster is often recommended specifically for sensitive skin because plant-derived formulations are typically gentler than synthetic equivalents.
Most patients see optimal results from 4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance every 6 months.
24-48 hours of mild redness, slightly less inflammation than synthetic-serum microneedling due to plant-based formulation. Most patients return to work next day.
The Eco Booster Microneedling at Solace is $300 — the same as our Exo Booster Facial. This treatment combines microneedling with exosome infusion for enhanced collagen stimulation and skin regeneration beyond standard microneedling. Packages of 3 sessions offer best results and pricing. CareCredit financing is available.
Exosomes are cell-signaling nano-vesicles derived from stem cells that carry proteins and microRNA instructing skin cells to activate repair, collagen synthesis, and anti-inflammatory pathways. Applied immediately after microneedling — when the dermis is accessible through microchannels — exosomes penetrate deeply and amplify the collagen-stimulating response significantly beyond standard serum application. Studies show exosome-enhanced microneedling produces faster, more visible results than microneedling alone.
Standard microneedling uses mechanical collagen induction (micro-injuries trigger collagen production) + topical serum infusion. Eco Booster Microneedling adds exosome infusion — delivering billions of regenerative cell-signaling particles into the freshly created channels. This accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and produces more significant anti-aging and brightening results in fewer sessions. It's the most advanced form of microneedling available at Solace.
Eco Booster Microneedling is particularly effective for: post-acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and melasma, early aging and fine lines, dull or uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and clients recovering from laser or aggressive peels. The exosome component's brightening and anti-inflammatory properties make it especially powerful for clients with residual redness or discoloration.
Why Plant-Based Works
The Science Behind Botanical Microneedling
The traditional assumption in medical aesthetics is that synthetic, lab-manufactured ingredients are more potent and reliable than natural alternatives. For most categories of skincare, this has merit. But for the specific application of post-microneedling serum infusion, plant-derived growth factors are not a compromise — they're a genuine alternative with distinct advantages for certain skin profiles.
The collagen induction in microneedling is triggered by the mechanical micro-injury, not by the serums. What the serums provide is the cellular signaling environment during the healing window. Plant-derived ingredients like sea fennel stem cells (Crithmum maritimum) have demonstrated measurable fibroblast activation in peer-reviewed dermatology studies — stimulating collagen Type I synthesis through the TGF-β pathway, the same pathway activated by synthetic growth factors.
The difference: plant-derived formulations are associated with significantly lower rates of hypersensitivity reactions in reactive skin, and their anti-inflammatory phytocompounds (green tea EGCG, edelweiss leontopodic acid) actively calm the post-needling inflammatory cascade rather than simply delivering growth signals. For sensitive skin patients, this means less redness, faster recovery, and a more comfortable experience — with equivalent structural results.
Key Botanical Actives Used in Eco Booster Microneedling
Sea Fennel Stem Cells (Crithmum maritimum): Activates fibroblasts and stimulates collagen Type I via TGF-β pathway. Proven brightening through tyrosinase inhibition.
Edelweiss Extract (Leontopodic Acid): Powerful antioxidant with demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. Protects against free radical damage during the healing window.
Marine Plankton Growth Factors: Natural cytokine analogues that support cell-to-cell signaling for accelerated repair without synthetic peptide chains.
Kakadu Plum Vitamin C: Naturally occurring ascorbic acid at very high concentrations — brightening, antioxidant, and collagen cofactor without the irritation of synthetic L-ascorbic acid in high concentration.
Green Tea Polyphenols (EGCG): Demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity at the gene expression level — downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines produced during the needling response.
Botanical Retinol Analogues: Plant-derived retinol precursors (bakuchiol, sea buckthorn) that stimulate retinoic acid receptors without the irritation profile of synthetic vitamin A derivatives.
Ideal Candidates
Who Benefits Most from Eco Booster Microneedling?
Eco Booster Microneedling is not simply for patients who prefer natural products — it's clinically the better choice for specific skin profiles:
Reactive and Sensitive Skin
Patients with chronically reactive skin who have avoided microneedling due to concern about post-inflammatory flares. The anti-inflammatory botanical formulation reduces the histamine response and dermal irritation that synthetic-serum microneedling can trigger in this group.
Rosacea-Prone Skin
Rosacea patients require carefully selected post-treatment ingredients to avoid triggering vascular flushing. The calming actives in Eco Booster — particularly edelweiss and green tea EGCG — are well-tolerated by rosacea-prone skin, making this the preferred microneedling option for this group at Solace.
Clean Beauty Advocates
Patients who maintain a clean, plant-based skincare routine and find it counterproductive to subject their skin to synthetic peptides and lab-manufactured growth factors during treatments. Eco Booster aligns treatment ingredients with at-home skincare philosophy.
Environmentally Conscious Patients
For patients whose sustainability values extend to personal care — all products used in Eco Booster are formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, silicones, or microplastics, and packaging is recyclable. No animal-derived ingredients, no animal testing.
First-Time Microneedling Patients
Patients new to microneedling who want to experience the treatment with minimal downtime and lowest possible irritation risk benefit from Eco Booster as an introduction to the treatment category. Standard microneedling can follow once comfort with the treatment is established.
What Sets It Apart
Eco Booster vs Standard Microneedling vs Exosome Microneedling
Not all microneedling at Solace is identical. The needling device and technique are the same across all variants — the differentiation is in what's infused into the channels post-needling:
Standard Microneedling ($250): Medical-grade serum blend with hyaluronic acid, synthetic growth factors, and peptides. Best all-around option for most patients.
Eco Booster Microneedling ($275): Plant-derived growth factors, botanical peptides, zero synthetic actives. Best for sensitive skin, rosacea, clean beauty preference.
Microneedling + PRF ($350): Your own blood-derived platelet growth factors infused post-needling. Best for anti-aging, hair restoration, and patients who want autologous (self-derived) biology.
Microneedling + Exosomes ($400): Lab-derived stem-cell exosome infusion — highest-concentration growth factor delivery, best for advanced anti-aging and post-acne scarring.
Dr. Flávio recommends Eco Booster for patients with diagnosed skin sensitivity, rosacea, or strong clean-beauty preferences. The structural results are comparable to standard microneedling; the difference is in ingredient profile and recovery experience.
