- Join me as I try a microneedling facial with a difference! This one involved needling an exosomes serum into the skin to turbo-charge the rejuvenating results.
The treatment was carried out at the DrVictoria medical aesthetics clinic in Edinburgh and in this video I share what was involved including before and after pics, the benefits of using growth factors and exosomes in skincare as well as the risks.

good work clare !
Fabulous, thank you for bringing us along with you, Clare. How gorgeous you look with no make up half way through the facial!! Your skin is plump and glowing pre-microneedling session 🤩 I'll be following with interest to see if you notice a significant difference after a few of these facials.
Thank you so much. Always lovely to hear from you!
Your results are spectacular. You're absolutely glowing in the after photo. I'm very excited to explore this treatment now. 🤩
I feel my results are visible too so I’m glad you can see it in the pic. ❤️
Looks like a fantastic treatment
I see a difference in your skin since I've been following you. It looks great!
Thank you!
Your skin looks great! Thanks for sharing.
🥰
Your skin looks beautiful ❤️
Thank you!
I just subscribed and love learning about options for skin care from you! Thank you! ❤
Welcome and thank you!
Looks really interesting 🙏 I would be up for that treatment
Thanks for sharing. Exosomes are definitely on trend for 2024!
Thank you for watching and supporting!
You are getting younger every day.❤
🥰
You’re so gorgeous, Claire ! Your hair looks especially great today and your skin looks even more glowing ❤. You’ve aged in reverse on the channel . I trust your recommendations too . That means a lot . ❤
Thank you so much - and I treat that trust very seriously ❤️
@@thehonestchannel , You’re very welcome! I can tell you take our trust very seriously. That’s precisely why I watch your channel. It’s so easy for people to fake things these days . You absolutely don’t do that . And you even tell us if something is a flop . Even if 3/4 of people make videos raving about it , I come straight to your channel to find out the real scoop 🥰
I just started using the Calecim cream but will be trying the serum right away! Your skin looks absolutely fabulous Clare. Thank you!!!!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy using the serum.
Hello 👋 how have you got on with it? 🥰🥰🤔🏴🇬🇧
@@HellBelle666 Nothing too spectcular! I micro needled the pink serum onto my face but there was no WOW! So back to the drawing board!
Very interesting podcast. Thank you. I will be ordering!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I love the Calecim treatment . I’ve used it for quite a while now . Also had quite a number of gentle Radiofrequency microneedling with the calecim after . The difference it makes is mind blowing and it made my skin heal so quickly .
Great to hear!
So good to see your video! I just had my very first microneedling session on Jan. 13th, the process actually being done by my very own family doctor who now specializes on skincare. I have been putting it aside for years because of the cost and my fear of needles but wow, am I glad I finally went! Even from the first session alone, I already experienced a huge change in the smoothness of my skin! I can't wait for my next session which will be in mid-February. Here in Vancouver, one session costs Cdn $400 and that will be 4 - 6 sessions, 1 per month, so we're looking at 4 to 6 months. I have melasma and this is why microneedling is going to be a huge improvement for my skin. I documented my first journey as well and am looking forward to sharing the rest of my sessions down the road. I love your channel.
Thanks for sharing this Jackie. So glad you’re noticing benefits already
@TheHonestChannel yes!!! I wish I didn't wait this long! Lol but glad I'm having it now. Yay!!!
Do you know what product your dr is using with the microneedling?@@JackieDiy
Your skin is looking lovely xxx
Thanks Ann!
Hi Claire, this is very exciting and your skin looks absolutely wonderful. When I first found you last year, one of the first videos I watched, was you discussing Calecim. So reading more about it, I decided to invest in a pot and trial it. Well, I’m on my second pot now and 4 months later, there is absolutely no doubt that my face looks plumper, the skin is more hydrated and definitely younger and healthier looking. It’s been a very subtle change over the course of these months, but it has worked for me. Before Christmas I bought some of the Calecim serum and a Dr Pen thinking I might try Microneedling with the serum. I have since tried microneedling a small patch on my chin at 0.5mm depth but was absolutely terrified of it and hated the sensation, so haven’t got round to attempting the full thing as yet.
I’m so pleased to hear you’re seeing results Susan. Mine were also gradual and built over time. Totally hear you when it comes to microneedling. I can’t bring myself to really go for it! I liked the little Qure stamps that I used, but the pens scare me.
Your skin looks great! My concern about using growth factors is my history of skin cancer. Some research has suggested that would eliminate them from any skincare for me. I love the results I see on people but I’m afraid of anything that might stimulate the growth of more melanoma
Totally understand and I think you’re right to take a cautious approach.
I’m a melanoma survivor and my Derm told me not to use them. Wish I could try these☺️
@@LisaNix2 Thanks for sharing this and glad you are okay now..
@@LisaNix2Where did you have your melanoma if I may ask? I also had skin cancer/melanomas a long time ago but still had my first exosomes treatment today. I usually trust my intuition and I don't think it would negatively affect me. But you are right it's better to be cautious and if your Derm told you not to use then that's what you should do.
Hi Clare, I've been thinking about doing the same in-clinic treatment with Calecim, only because they can go deeper than I do at home. I do .5mm and my clinic does 1mm. I use Calecim with my .5mm and 1005 believe it makes recovery so much faster. Within hours, my redness has gone down and there's no evidence the next morning at all. I'm huge fan of the Calecim serum.
Well your skin looks absolutely amazing so it's clearly working for you : ) It's great stuff. I think you'd love the clinical treatment. I was very taken with my results - it just ups it a notch from anything you can do at home. Speak soon!! x
I am so glad you spoke of the ethical concerns regarding growth factors! I have stopped using several products on the basis of not having full disclosure of where and how these cells are derived. Even if some of those products appear to be working.
Fantastic video - and I do love Calecim as well ... for their transparency as well as the efficacy of their products.
Thank you Clare ... Blessings
Yes, it's so important to know how they are sourced. Sending blessings right back!
One can get stem cells legally from Korea which is the skincare age ing resource here. I’ve done a deep dive into a lot of products. Stem cells new ones from umbilical cord is best it needs to be cryofreezed for transport. However here is aa problem because these stem cells are mostly incubated in transport to multiple. When a new stem cell is pit in incubation regenerate producing a daughter ( that’s what it’s called) that daughter is now not new and in it actually causes inflammation and god knows what else .This is how most people are getting from South America and other countries Mexico Korea others. So make sure you know what you’re actually getting. Please check out Dr Joy, She is brilliant and knows so much and has a stem cell clinic. Thankyou for all of your information.
The procedure of micro needling creates fiber blast to produce collagen and elasticity! .
This is very interesting! I would be interested to hear how you feel the Calecim products compare to Adipeau. I realize they are two completely different products but I am interested in your experience regarding the results of both.
It’s so hard to compare them. Adipeau seems to be helpful for those who have lost facial fat, and particularly those who lost it suddenly due to a heat or energy-based treatment. That’s certainly the feedback I’ve had from viewers. I found it effective in my cheeks but not my forehead, temples or upper eyelids. Calecim is more of an overall rejuvenation product that will improve skin health over time but, from my experience, just at a superficial level. I don’t think it replaces lost volume. That turned into an essay! Hope it makes sense 😁
@@thehonestchannel Thank you, that's very helpful!
Excellent as always. What is the name of the serum and can we buy online?
So glad you found it interesting! The serum is made by Calecim and I’ve included a link in the description.
The after actually looks worse under the eyes, I see more wrinkles...
can u recommend a clinic near London or the south east that does this. very excited to try this!
I Googled Calecim and microneedling in London and this one came up. I can’t speak to it as I’ve never been but they do the treatment drpreema.com/treatments/face/stem-cells/calecim-stem-cell-treatment/
Id love to try it. I medical microneedle at home. I used GF for a wile but when i had a bought of a mild skin cancer i stopped so i would be looking for safety from that stand point
It's definitely wise to be extra cautious when you have this history.
Hi Claire, have you considered testing the exosomes serum from plated? The exosomes are derived from human platelet and they also claim they found a way to allow them to penetrate the skin barrier. it’s the only brand that uses platelet which I find intriguing. I was hesitating between their serum and the Calecim cream and eventually I went for the Calecim because it’s cheaper but may be I’m missing out.
Interesting. I've made a note of them and I'll take a close look at how the exosomes are sourced. I could do a round-up of some of the market leaders in these treatments at the moment.
In the results for your dad show his hair grew back but not grey ... His hair had color. Did i see that correctly?
For the hair, micro needling most likely did the legwork here.
From my experience microneedling (or stamping) yield the same results with exosomes or saline water.
Thank you Clare, but £170 a month for this treatment is outrageous. Microneedling at home with a Dr Pen (or similar) and your own serum or Hyaluronic acid gives amazing, if not better results.
Microneedling in general is just amazing as it produces more collagen and elastin to our skin, shrinks pores and reduces scars, so it's always a win win situation, you just have to make sure your serum is not going to irritate your skin. There are also plenty of growth factors on sale for less money or in great sales .
I've been doing mine for a while...agreed, save a heap of money, and got great results. DIY all day long for me.
This was really helpful to watch thanks. I recently bought myself a pen to start nano-needling myself at home with a view to trying shallow cosmetic microneedling (0.25mm) once I'm confident enough. Do you think the Calecim could be effective with nano needling and a more shallow microneedling depth? Also, is there any reason this couldn't be applied to the neck and dec area?
I think you’d still see results at that depth. They used a shorter depth around my eyes and I saw an improvement in skin texture there. You can microneedle on your neck and chest too though I would follow a tutorial with a reputable expert first. Hope this helps.
@@thehonestchannel thank you! I'm tempted to buy a vial of the serum and try it at home, maybe with nano needling first (as I see you can use the serum even without needling it?)
How often you go for a treatment
Thanks for this info! What was the depth of the needles they used? :)
She said the used .5mm but shorter depth around the eye area & forehead.
@@WhatsEvenRealAnymore thank you!
Regarding the exosomes from AnteAge? Have you tried those?
I haven’t, no.
Hi Claire! Are you still using the qure system or taking a break while you get professional treatments?
I used it the other day to apply the Calecim serum at home as I still haven’t booked my follow-up 🤦♀️ But my intention is to intersperse with a pro treatment from time to time
Where can i buy the Oil you are speaking 🔊 of? Id love to buy it...
The exsomes ???
And growth facters for my hair and husband hair.. much appreciated.
Hi. I’ve linked to the face and hair serums in the description - just click under the video where it says ‘show more’
I purchased the Calicem multi action cream last year and used the whoe jar. Unfortunately, i was uderwhelmed and saw no results to speak of so have not repurchased.
Sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing your experience. It's always good to gather different views.
Please is it with 12 needles ? 1,5 deep right ?
Hi, have you done for another session and can you provide an update ?
I have done a second session which had a very similar outcome to the first. I'll do an update after several sessions later this year.
@@thehonestchannelthanks, that would be great. I'm thinking of going for exosomes as well. I think the equivalent of calecim here in the US is benev.
This seems to be great news, but even better news would be that it was more affordable.
Ouch AUD400 after a 10% discount for 6 x 5ml vials. Glad the price is for 6 treatments, hopefully you only need one vial per treatment.
The clinic used 1 5ml vial for my treatment. It is very expensive.
Just had my very first exosomes treatment. However I did not get them microneedled in I actually had them injected. And mine were human exosomes, not from deer. Curious to see how much of a change I'll be able to see in the coming days and weeks.
Oh wow. I hope you get great results.
Do you mean human umbilical cords?
I saw an interview with you where you talked about using Adipeou serum with good results, did you give up? Curiosity, thank you and sorry
Hi. That's right - I used Adipeau for 6 months and felt my results peaked after 3. I saw it more as a short-term treatment rather than a long term daily moisturiser.
@@thehonestchannel muito obrigada
I have a serious question
Have you ever considered speaking with an orthoganist about how they approach anti aging ? Since a lot of the time as we age we loose bone density and although people believe adults can’t benefit from mse expansion on the other hand doctors acknowledge that there is such thing as facial osteoporosis.
Could it be that it is the bone under your skin that is affecting your skin? Our faces lengthen and widen as we age our ligaments aren’t the same neither is the cartilage .
Are there any orthodontic devises that adults could benefit from in terms of anti aging?
I mean the oralift is similar to that as well.
I would like to look in more detail at bone aging and its effect on the skin. I covered bone health last week on the channel and it's so important.
Thank you I will check it out !
And yeah it would be great if you did , because I saw you have used oralift and to some extent that has to do with facial bones and ligaments and muscles
I use this serum at home, 2x a week after I exfoliate...I have seen improvement with sagging and tone...its kind of amazing
That's great to hear!
I was wondering if exfoliation may be sufficient to allow the serum to penetrate. That's great you've achieved positive results. How do you exfoliate?
@@davidsotir4318 You know, not sure...and a great question. I've been using Alastin Skin Polish, which is a physical and AHA scrub...still seeing a nice lifting.
@@danaconnor8255 Thanks Dana for your reply. That's good to know!
One of the respected dermatologist that I watch said she wouldn’t use exosomes and she does lots of different anti-aging procedures.
A women grow bone on her eye lid after plastic surgery using exosomes around the eyes.
In Asia this treatment has been around for a while and everyone is raving about it. Never heard that someone grew bone.
@@IloveCamels335I researched it. Not sure if it’s the same. It was her own stem cell from blood but they added a filler. They think that was what grew the bone. I guess it’s not the same? I was going to try this exosomes thing but I chickened out. It wasn’t from red deer it was from people that gave cells from bone marrow.
@@gd8740 Wow that’s frightening. I actually scheduled my first exosomes treatment for the end of this month 🙈 They use from people as well, not from deer.
I watch Dr. Stefani Kappel 😄
I remember this from years ago! The patient used calcium hydroxylapatite or Radiesse as a filler, not the usual hyaluronic acid-based type. It's thought that mesenchymal stem cells can stimulate Radiesse to form bone. I'm not sure if mesenchymal stem cells are considered to be exactly the same things as exosomes though
Can you try fat transfer?
There have been some scary issues with scaring from microneedling.
You have to choose your practitioners carefully, that's for sure.
What is the name of the serum?
Calecim. I've linked to it in the description.
Apologies Claire!.. 😅 P.R.P. Obviously you caught my mistake.
Hello Claire! I'm new to your channel & wondering.. have you tried P.L.P. yet?? ❤
I haven’t but it’s such an interesting treatment. I’m hoping to get an expert on the channel soon to discuss. ❤️
What is PLP?
@@user-qd1uj3du1t
Apologies,! P.R.P. Platelet rich plasma.
@@user-qd1uj3du1t Platelet Rich Plasma injections.
which would be PRP. But many folks (including Rajani) are saying PRFibrin is the way to go.@@thehonestchannel
Just ordered exsomes cant wait
Hope you get great results ❤️
Exosomes which are harvested from the umbilical cords of red deer!!I Dont know how safe that would be to use on my face!!
Yes, I understand it’s not for everyone but from a safety perspective these serums have been used for years now without any reported issues.
@@thehonestchannel Exosomes have come out in the market quite recently...This is a new treatment!!!
In some ways animal exosomes are more safe than human exosomes.
With humans, I’d worry about the viral status of the cell donors. Have they been tested for HBV, HIV, HTLV, EBV? Companies should do this, but I’ve never seen it on any of the websites for brands using human exosomes (worryingly).
Exosomes for skincare have been available since 2019. They’ve been available for other medical uses since early 2000’s. Growth Factors became commercially available in early 2000’s. They’re similar but not the same. I’ve seen people use them interchangeably online but they’re not.
Stem cell therapy has been used in medicine for decades. It is well established science even if some of us are only becoming aware of it recently.
FYI. I get professional regular micro needling every 2 months and it's my go to facial treatment. Works well. And it's $100. Personally I wouldn't touch growth factors and my sense is they are totally unnecessary.but I have no data on that.
Good to hear you're getting results with microneedling. There are definitely mixed feelings around the use of growth factors.
r they giving u free treatments? im concerned that causes bias...
I mentioned in the video that this treatment was done free of charge for the purposes of review. It is pretty standard practice to provide theatre tickets, car test runs etc to journalists so that we have the opportunity to try new things and share with audiences.
later i heard u say the first visit was free and u have to pay for follow up visits.
I like hearing about new products. So what if there is a bias. I trust her. I also believe women are smart and capable of doing additional research on their own.
@@jillpotts7472 Yes, that's right. Usually I pay for my treatments at this clinic but they offered me the chance to review this one along with several other local journalists.
@@kristieellis6455 I appreciate that trust and I do try to give an honest, unbiased account of my experience where I have been given the chance to review something for free. Most importantly though I declare it. That in itself attracts criticism because you're flagging that you didn't pay, but I think the main thing is to be up front.
I’m sure many people appreciate the information you are privileged to deliver. I am one of them -usually - and am a subscriber. However, that you use your journalism background as a convenient excuse to be a content creator comes off to me as insincere. There’s something that doesn’t feel right about getting all these treatments for free to use as advertisements for products or services that are either unneeded, might not work, or even dangerous. I find your over concern with your appearance to be sad. Is every little sag, bag or wrinkle some kind of problem with your or others ‘ character? No - I’d say the opposite is true. I believe that selling a “exterior beauty is everything” attitude as an ideal to the public is sending the wrong message. And by the way, I I’m not against cosmetic procedures, and desiring to look our best as I have had cosmetic procedures also and I am very much into skincare but I’m not to the point of feeling like I have to do something every month or two or even every year or 10! It is my opinion that as a content creator you are misguided in encouraging people towards value systems which pursue a desperate obsessive narcissism of me, me, me! It’s now running rampant out there, which doesn’t say much for those who chase beauty to an extreme. The world isn’t going to end without cosmetic procedures. I’d say that what’s really important Is learning to treat each other with love, kindness and respect all while serving others. That’s where real beauty and self-esteem shine. This post is my opinion and reflects what I see as issues and concerns. Others might see something else.
I think some TH-camrs resonate with us and others don't and I'm obviously not the one for you. What's important to me as a journalist is that I state whether I paid for the treatment (as I often do) or was offered the treatment for the purposes of review so there is full disclosure. How often do you see that? Not very often.
I'm guessing you haven't watched Clare very much. Of the many beauty AND health influencers, she seems to me the most down to earth and even admits that some of her 'flaws' of her own perception. I agree that in the age of heavy filters and social media, many women (and men) are going in the opposite direction. But as you admitted, caring for our appearance and even doing cosmetic treatments is A -ok if we can keep it in perspective. Cheers to you both.
@@cindysmallwood2695 Thanks Cindy. I appreciate the support. My approach isn't going to chime with everyone but I try to keep it real. Still trying to figure out along with everyone else what aging well looks like and how to get the balance right.
I’d say it’s up there for me to, to do my best to treat others the way I would like to be treated, although challenging on occasion. But you mention what is really important is learning to treat others with love kindness and respect. You haven’t done that here and actually contradicted yourself. In fact you have been quite unkind in your words. There is an old saying “if you can’t be kind be quiet.” I find skipping on and watching something else, if I don’t agree with what I am watching or hearing, to be the best solution. We are not always going to resonate or agree with all we see and hear, but being unkind is not the solution.
@@susancollins4362 Wise words. Thank you. ❤
