Boost Collagen Production and Reverse Signs of Aging

Microneedling is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. The treatment effectively addresses various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. At Serotonin Tampa Centers, our skilled practitioners tailor each microneedling session to meet your unique skin needs, ensuring optimal results.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin using a device equipped with fine needles. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that maintain skin structure and firmness.

 As the skin heals, new, healthier tissue replaces damaged skin, improving overall texture and appearance. Microneedling promotes overall skin rejuvenation to treat fine lines, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation.

Boost Microneedling Results With PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. This rich solution contains essential proteins and growth factors that promote healing, tissue regeneration, and collagen production.

When combined with microneedling, PRP enhances the procedure's effectiveness by delivering growth factors directly to the treated area. The micro-injuries created during microneedling allow for deeper penetration of the PRP, maximizing its regenerative properties. This accelerates the healing process, reduces inflammation, and amplifies collagen synthesis, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. By incorporating PRP into your microneedling treatment, you can achieve more dramatic and long-lasting results.

    What Happens During the Microneedling Treatment

    During your microneedling treatment, a trained aesthetic provider begins by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once the numbing takes effect, a microneedling device is moved across your skin to create controlled micro-injuries.

    This process typically lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, a nourishing serum may be applied to enhance the results and soothe the skin, following which you can resume daily activities.

    Side Effects After Microneedling in Tampa

    After your microneedling treatment, you may experience some side effects, including redness, mild swelling, and tenderness in the treated area, similar to a light sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days.  You can return to your daily activities shortly after the procedure, but it's essential to avoid strenuous workouts, direct sun exposure, and harsh skincare products for a few days to allow your skin to heal properly.

    Microneedling Results: Onset and Longevity

    You may start to see noticeable improvements in your skin within a few weeks after your microneedling treatment as collagen production continues to enhance your complexion. Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The effects can last several months, but individual factors may influence longevity. To maintain your results, consider scheduling maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months and incorporate a good skincare routine to support skin health.
