Harness Your Body’s Natural Healing Powers

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with tiny needles to treat facial wrinkles and acne scars while improving your skin’s overall tone and radiance. The microneedling device creates tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen healing process and ultimately rejuvenating the skin. We use the most recent FDA-approved microneedling device to treat facial wrinkles and acne scars. 

The device uses six tiny needles to create controlled punctures by repeatedly rolling along the skin. These microneedles penetrate the skin and stimulate the body’s natural healing response — boosting the formation of new collagen fibers and rejuvenating the skin. The procedure takes place in the office and lasts 10-20 minutes. Patients often take part in multiple sessions to achieve optimal effects. Microneedling is quick, minimally invasive, effective, and well-tolerated, with high patient satisfaction and minimal downtime.

How the Procedure Works

What Is the Microneedling Procedure Like?

We will provide you with specific instructions before your procedure. Microneedling is an outpatient procedure and typically lasts 10-20 minutes.

Before & Preparation

  • Remove make-up before your procedure.
  • Your provider will apply a topical anesthetic cream to the treatment area.
  • Once the treatment area is numb, the provider will cleanse and dry your skin.
  • Your provider will use moisturizing cream to ensure smooth device movements over the treatment area.

During the Procedure

  • We will use the microneedling device with sterile, tiny needles, gently gliding it across your skin.
  • The needles move back and forth as it moves across your skin.
  • You may experience minor bleeding and redness as this induces skin rejuvenation and triggers collagen growth.
  • Your provider will apply a serum and cooling mask to the treated area. 

Microneedling With PRP

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a serum with powerful biostimulatory properties that is created from a small sample of your blood. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate out the plasma, which is rich in platelets and growth factors. Microneedling with PRP combines the collagen-inducing effects of microneedling with the rejuvenating properties of PRP. We apply this “liquid gold” after microneedling is performed, letting it absorb deeply into the tiny channels created by the needles. The platelets and growth factors in PRP enhance the healing process, accelerating tissue repair and regeneration. Experience the synergy of microneedling and PRP for a vibrant, revitalized look that truly glows.

What Conditions Does Microneedling Address?

By stimulating your body’s natural collagen production and inducing healing throughout treated areas, microneedling offers comprehensive complexion enhancement, diminishing a variety of concerns at once:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles. As cellular regeneration takes place, you will notice fine lines and wrinkles gradually fade.
  • Skin laxity. Through new, healthier collagen structures and skin cells, microneedling can help you restore your skin’s youthful thickness and elasticity.
  • Enlarged pores. With increased health and function, your skin will become plumper and firmer, causing your pores to shrink for a flawless appearance.
  • Acne scars and other scars. As microneedling boosts your body’s natural regenerative powers to replace damaged skin with healthy cells, you can effectively fade scars from acne or other causes.
