Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that is used to induce neocollagenesis (new collagen) using small, sterilized needles creating hundreds of thousands microscopic punctures into the skin. This "controlled damage" helps stimulate your skin's healing process. Additionally, this cascade effects produces more collagen and elastin! These proteins are KEY to keep your skin firm, smooth, and overall improved appearance.

SUPERCHARGE YOUR TREATMENT

​

Microneedling with PRP is one of the most powerful ways to tighten facial skin and improve other common issues! Results are long-lasting, making treatment a worthwhile investment in your future! THINK PREVENTATIVE SKINCARE!

There are numerous research studies conducted on PRP and its healing and tissue regeneration. Activated growth factors in platelet rich plasma stimulate healing and tissue growth to some degree. It does this (in simple terms) by attracting uni-potent and multi-potent stem cells to the area of treatment.

Microneedling POST-treatment Instructions​

​

  • Immediately after you will be red and flushed, similar to a sunburn. This is expected and should resolve in 3-5 days.

  • SPF 50 must be applied daily post treatment and onward. 

  • Wear a wide-brimmed hat and avoid direct sun exposure during this time to avoid hyperpigmentation.

  • Wash pillow cases and sheets to avoid cross contamination 

  • Got Pets? We love them too! But for 48 hours, avoid snuggles or kisses to your face while you are healing to avoid infection to open channels

  • Your skin may be swollen, dry, and tight, with slight sloughing. This is normal and should resolve within 7-10 days. 

  • DO NOT physically peel any skin off as this can cause scarring and/hyperpigmentation that can be permanent.

  • Best results are seen with a series of 3-5 treatments, depending on each patient’s skin quality and goals. For certain treatments such as acne scarring, it is typical to expect to have a series of 6-8 treatments for best results. This will be discussed with your provider at your visits and will vary for each patient.

  • Skin improvement may be seen as early as after the first treatment and will continue to improve with subsequent treatments.

  • Once you leave the office, you do not have to do anything to the treatment area. Keep the area clean by avoiding touching your hands or clothing directly to the area
