Microneedling/PRP

What are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Microneedling procedures turn back the clock to your more youthful skin by:

• Softening lines and wrinkles of varying depths.
• Tightening and smoothing skin.
• Lightening hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
• Reducing enlarged pores.

Am I a Candidate for Microneedling?

You are an ideal candidate for the procedure if you want to improve aging skin, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. Patients should be in good health. If patients have a skin infection, they should wait until it heals before a Microneedling treatment.

What Can I Expect During the Microneedling Procedure?

• The procedure is performed in a comfortable treatment room.
• It takes 1 to 2 hours.
• For optimum results, 3 to 6 procedures are recommended. Patients with severe sun damage, or hyperpigmentation will benefit from more sessions. We advise patients wait 4 to 6 weeks in between treatments.
• We apply a numbing cream to make the procedure more comfortable.
• We glide the SkinPen™, which contains tiny surgical steel needles in a disposable cartridge, to sterilely penetrate the skin.
• A topical serum may be applied before or after the procedure.

What Can I Expect During Recovery?

Patients return to work within 24- 48 hours after the treatment. The treated area may be bloody and swollen for the first 24 hours. You may have light redness 1 to 3 days after treatment. Most patients see results in only a couple of days after treatment. Patients report skin is plumper, tighter and smoother. Several months following the procedure, the skin will continue to generate new healthy cells at the skin’s surface, further enhancing a youthful appearance.

Is Microneedling Safe?

Microneedling provides desired rejuvenation results for a minimally invasive procedure. The needles are safe for every skin type. When Microneedling is combined with other anti-aging treatments such as Botox or Dermal Fillers, the results can be dramatic.
