Activate natural healing and boost collagen growth

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture and tone. Often referred to as collagen induction therapy, microneedling effectively addresses various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be customized to meet individual needs, ensuring optimal results with minimal downtime.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling works by utilizing a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, activating collagen and elastin production. This regenerative process enhances skin texture, firmness, and appearance, making it an effective treatment for various skin concerns.

As the skin heals, it undergoes a rejuvenation process that improves the overall structure and function. The increased collagen production helps reduce the visibility of fine lines, scars, and other imperfections. Additionally, microneedling allows for better absorption of topical serums and treatments, maximizing their effectiveness and leading to healthier, more youthful skin.

Boost microneedling results with PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves using a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood, which is rich in growth factors and proteins that promote tissue regeneration. During the PRP process, a small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to isolate the platelets. These platelets are then applied to the skin after microneedling to boost the results.

When combined with microneedling, PRP amplifies the skin’s healing response, accelerating collagen production and improving overall skin texture. The growth factors in PRP help reduce inflammation and enhance cellular repair, resulting in quicker recovery and more pronounced results, leaving you with a radiant, youthful complexion.

Your microneedling session

During your microneedling treatment, a trained professional will cleanse your skin to prepare it for the procedure. A topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort. Once ready, the microneedling device will gently create micro-injuries in your skin. The treatment typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterward, you may receive a hydrating serum or PRP to enhance the results.

Side effects and recovery process

After microneedling, you may experience mild side effects like redness, swelling, and slight discomfort, similar to a sunburn. These side effects typically subside within a few days. You might also notice some dryness or flaking as your skin heals. Recovery is generally quick, with most individuals returning to normal activities within 24 hours. However, it’s essential to avoid strenuous workouts and direct sunlight for up to 48 hours and use sunscreen.

Onset and longevity of results

You can expect to see initial results within a few days after your microneedling treatment, with optimal results appearing over the following weeks as collagen production increases. Typically, a series of 3 to 6 sessions is recommended for the best outcomes, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The results can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on your skin type. To maintain your results, consider scheduling maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months.
