Medical Microneedling

Microneedling: Your Shortcut To Younger Looking Skin

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. During the procedure, thin needles are used to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. This helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin and keeps your skin firm and smooth. It’s a very simple, safe, effective and minimally invasive therapeutic technique for skin rejuvenation.

Most people get microneedling on their face, but you can also get it on your legs, back, neck or other areas where you notice damaged or aging skin. Multiple treatments are usually needed in order to achieve your desired results.

“After a dermatologist burned a sunspot off my face and left me with a pockmark scar I was extremely self-conscious. I did a lot of research on cost effective ways to minimize the scar that didn’t require a lot of down time. One of the top treatments was microneedling. After 3-4 treatments my scar wasn’t just minimized, it was gone. I loved the way my skin looked so much I make sure to get maintenance treatments 1-2 times a year.”

Microneedling With Plasma-Rich Platelets (PRP)

With Microneedling with PRP, we’ll use your own plasma-rich platelets to expedite the healing process of tissues and reduce the appearance of pigmentation and acne scarring. It involves using your own blood as a resource to isolate the platelets with a centrifuge.

PRP contains proteins and several growth factors that regulate and activate cell migration and stimulate the production of elastin and collagen.

Because it’s your blood, the risks of your body rejecting the plasma are minimal. During the process, your blood is separated into three layers which leaves the PRP available for use during the microneedling process.

You’ll be able to see a youthful radiance and tightening of your ski directly following microneedling with PRP. However, to optimize skin rejuvenation, 3+ treatments four weeks apart are recommended.
