What is Microneedling?
The concept of microneedling is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical injury such as cuts, burns and other abrasions. We us the SkinPen ® - the only FDA-approved microneedling device available for use in U.S. It is used to rejuvenate the skin and to improve the skin surface by reducing fine lines, expression lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and acne scars. As the microneedling device moves across the skin, it makes pinpoint punctures to create very minor micro-“injuries.” In response to the perceived “injury,” a cascade of growth factors is released, which in turn triggers new collagen synthesis. This process has two major benefits - it effectively stimulates collagen formation and provides a clear channel for topical serums to be absorbed through the surface of the skin. By persistently triggering this healing process with a series of needling treatments, the body keeps repairing the skin incrementally and cumulatively to offer a result similar to fractional laser treatments or chemical peels, but without the side effects and extended downtime. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin.

Additional PRP (platelet-rich plasma) stimulates tissue healing even more. It is derived from the serum portion of the blood, which contains platelets. The platelets contain high levels of growth factors, which, when applied to the skin, will stimulate cell turnover." In laymen's terms: It's a facial that essentially uses your own blood to help promote the healthy activity of your skin cells. A small blood sample is taken from the person being treated and put into a centrifuge that spins at high speed. This process separates platelets from other blood components. The concentration of platelets is then microneedled into the skin that needs to be treated.
Microneedling is safe for all colors of skin and all types of skin.

How many treatments are needed?
  • When treating acne scars, pore size and anti-aging we recommend 3-6 sessions, each about 4 weeks apart.
  • In the case of surgical scars and stretch marks on the body, usually 5-8 essions each 5-6 weeks apart are recommended.
Once the desired result has been achieved, it is important to maintain collagen stimulation by returning for quarterly maintenance treatments.

Actual Microneedling + Microneedling with PRP Procedure:
Microneedling is performed in a safe and precise manner with the use of a sterile, disposable tip that allows effective treatment to hard-to-reach places (e.g. around the eyes, nose, and lips). Prior to the procedure, topical anesthetic cream is applied for patient comfort. The basic microneedling treatment includes the application of healing gels during the procedure.

When microneedling is administered as a part of the PRP Facial, the patient’s own blood-derived growth factors and platelet rich plasma (PRP) are applied during the procedure after a blood draw and centrifuge treatment
The entire procedure is normally completed within 30-45 minutes depending on the required treatment and the anatomical site. New healthy skin appears about 4 weeks after treatment and continues to generate collagen for up to 4-6 months.

​
When will I see results?
​Patients have varying experiences. Some reported having the "glow" a week after the initial microneedling. Others report having better skin texture and smaller pores after four weeks. This comes around the time when the skin renews itself and sloughs off the damage caused by the microwounds. There are also reports of diminished acne scarring 4-6 weeks after microneedling. However, this becomes more obvious after the second or third treatment.


Discomfort & Risks:
We use a potent numbing cream which makes the sensation of microneedling very comfortable.
​
​Immediately following the procedure the skin will feel tight, dry, swollen, and sensitive to the touch. It’ll also look and feel sunburned. The sensitivity and redness will diminish significantly within 24 hours. Other common short-term side effects include itching, discomfort, pinpoint bleeding or bruising, scabbing, and darkening of the treated area. Additionally, the skin may look and feel like sandpaper; these effects generally last 2-7 days as the treated skin flakes off and is replaced by new tissue. While adverse reactions are extremely rare, there is a possibility of temporary side effects including but not limited to: infection, scarring, skin and tissue necrosis, herpes simplex outbreak, hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin), and hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin). Darkening or lightening of the skin usually fades within 6 months, but in rare cases, could be permanent. This reaction is more common in patients who are tan or who have darker skin tones. It can result or worsen when treated areas are exposed to the sun too soon following treatment. This risk can be minimized by avoiding sun exposure for 4 weeks before and after treatment and by adhering to pre and post treatment instructions.

Before your treatment: You will be asked to discontinue use of Retin A, Retinols, Vitamin A creams and other topical medications for 3-5 days before your micro needling treatment. It is required that you wear a sunscreen daily and use the appropriate home care topical products.

What to avoid immediately after your treatment:
To ensure the proper healing environment, be certain to observe the following:
  • For at least 48 hours post treatment, do NOT use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare.
  • Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours. No tanning beds.
  • Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
  • No exercising or strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Sweating and gym environments are harmful, rife with bacteria, and may cause adverse reactions.
