Microneedling
How Microneedling Works
The pen-type microneedling device features a cluster of fine needles that rapidly puncture the skin at a controlled depth. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's repair mechanisms, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep the skin firm, smooth and youthful. The controlled injuries also enhance the absorption of topical serums, making the treatment even more effective.

Who Are the Candidates?
Ideal candidates for microneedling are individuals looking to improve the overall appearance and texture of their skins. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones. Candidates typically include those who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or stretch marks. It is essential that candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are not experiencing active skin infections or severe skin conditions.
The Procedure
During the microneedling procedure, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort. The microneedling pen-type is then gently moved across the treatment area, creating micro-injuries in the skin. The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. You may feel a mild pricking sensation, but the treatment is well-tolerated.
The Results and Recovery
Post-treatment, you can expect some redness, and mild swelling, like a sunburn, and may experience some pin spot bleeding. Results typically start to become visible within a few weeks as the skin heals, and new collagen and elastin are produced. Detailed after-care instructions are provided on how to properly care for your skin, but it will be essential to protect new skin from sun exposure. For optimal results, multiple sessions may be recommended, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Over time, you will notice an improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Microneedling + PRP
Enhance your microneedling results by combining the treatment with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP involves using a concentrated sample of your own blood platelets, rich in growth factors, to further stimulate skin healing and rejuvenation. After the microneedling procedure, PRP is applied to the skin, allowing the growth factors to penetrate deeply and accelerate the repair process. This combination can lead to faster healing, enhanced collagen production, and more dramatic results.
