Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating its natural healing processes. Using fine needles, this treatment creates tiny punctures in the skin, which triggers the production of collagen and elastin—key components for healthy, youthful skin. Microneedling is highly effective for a variety of skin concerns, helping you achieve a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion. For enhanced results, microneedling can be combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), PRP facelifts, or hyaluronic acid to further boost skin rejuvenation.

Area’s That Microneedling Can Help:

Advanced Microneedling Options

PRP Microneedling

Also known as the "vampire facial," this treatment involves applying Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to the skin during microneedling. PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing and enhance collagen production, leading to faster and more pronounced results.

PRP Facelift

This advanced treatment combines microneedling with PRP injections to not only rejuvenate the skin's surface but also to lift and tighten deeper layers of the skin. It's an excellent option for those seeking a non-surgical facelift with natural-looking results.

Hyaluronic Acid Microneedling

This treatment involves infusing hyaluronic acid into the skin during microneedling. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful hydrator that plumps the skin, reduces fine lines, and enhances overall skin elasticity and moisture retention.

What to expect

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen production, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and overall skin texture.

Procedure involves several steps:

1

Consultation: The process begins with a thorough consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine the best treatment plan for you. We’ll discuss your goals and any specific areas you want to target, including whether you would benefit from adding PRP or hyaluronic acid to your treatment.

2

Preparation: A topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

3

The Procedure: The microneedling device uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to rejuvenate and improve the skin's appearance. PRP or hyaluronic acid will be infused into the skin for enhanced results, depending on your treatment plan.

4

Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Your skin may also feel tighter and more sensitive for a short period. We’ll provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Instructions

Pre-Treatment Instructions

To ensure the best results from your microneedling session, it’s important to follow these pretreatment instructions. Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, or sunburn for at least two weeks before your treatment, as sun-damaged skin can be more sensitive. Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliants, and any harsh or irritating skincare products, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and benzoyl peroxide, for 3-5 days prior to your appointment. If possible, avoid taking blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil, for at least 7-10 days before your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Additionally, refrain from undergoing chemical peels, laser treatments, or other skin resurfacing procedures for at least two weeks before microneedling. Stay wellhydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment, as this can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. On the day of your session, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, and avoid using lotions, perfumes, or other products on the area to be treated. Finally, be sure to inform your provider of any medications you’re taking and discuss any skin conditions or concerns you may have, including a history of cold sores or herpes simplex virus, as a prophylactic antiviral medication may be recommended. Following these guidelines will help ensure a safe procedure and optimal results from your microneedling treatment.

On the day of your microneedling treatment, make sure to arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and avoid applying any lotions, perfumes, or skincare products to the area being treated. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing if the treatment involves areas like your neck, chest, or body, to allow easy access. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before your appointment, as this can enhance your skin’s response to the treatment. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or activities that may cause excessive sweating before your session to reduce the risk of irritation. If you’ve been prescribed any pre-treatment medications, such as antiviral medication for cold sores, ensure you’ve taken them as directed. Lastly, arrive on time to allow for any lastminute consultations or questions with your provider. Following these instructions will help ensure a smooth and effective microneedling experience.

After your microneedling treatment, it’s essential to follow these post-care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. Avoid touching your face or the treated area for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection, and expect some redness and sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn, which should subside within a few days. Refrain from using makeup, sunscreen, or skincare products containing active ingredients like retinoids or acids for the first 24 hours. Stay hydrated and apply a gentle, hydrating serum or moisturizer as recommended by your provider to soothe your skin. Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least a week, and when outdoors, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) after the first 24 hours. Also, steer clear of strenuous exercise, saunas, and other activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 48 hours, and avoid exfoliating treatments or chemical peels for at least two weeks to allow your skin to fully recover. If you notice any unusual symptoms, such as prolonged redness, swelling, or signs of infection, contact your provider immediately. Following these guidelines will help you achieve the best possible results from your microneedling treatment.

 

When you choose microneedling, you can expect a personalized and comfortable experience. The entire procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and any additional treatments like PRP or hyaluronic acid.

 

You’ll start to notice improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few weeks as new collagen and skin cells develop. For the best results, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended, depending on your skin’s needs and goals. Adding PRP or hyaluronic acid can enhance and accelerate these results, providing a more youthful, hydrated, and glowing complexion.
