Microneedling

Microneedling may help improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and other textural scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven or rough skin texture
• Uneven skin tone
• Sun-damaged or aging skin
• Loss of firmness and elasticity
• Stretch marks
• Dull or tired-looking skin

Because microneedling works by stimulating the skin’s own natural renewal process, results develop gradually as new collagen and elastin are produced. A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and desired results.

Phase 1: Inflammation

• Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.

Phase 2: Proliferation 

• The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

Phase 3: Remodeling

• The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessel

Our traditional microneedling treatment is performed using SkinPen®, an FDA-cleared microneedling device designed to create precise, controlled microchannels in the skin.

These microchannels trigger the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production while encouraging healthy skin renewal. SkinPen microneedling is an excellent option for clients looking to improve skin texture, soften the appearance of acne scars and fine lines, minimize the appearance of pores, and achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment for comfort. Following your treatment, temporary redness, warmth, tightness, or sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn is normal. Downtime is generally minimal, although the skin may remain pink or sensitive for several days.

Take your microneedling treatment to the next level with PRP — Platelet-Rich Plasma.

PRP is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains naturally occurring platelets and growth factors involved in the body's normal healing processes.

During the treatment, SkinPen® microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin, and your PRP is applied topically to the treatment area. This combines collagen-induction therapy with your own platelet-rich plasma as part of an advanced skin-rejuvenation treatment.

Microneedling with PRP may be selected by clients seeking improvement in the appearance of:

• Acne scars and uneven texture
• Fine lines and signs of aging
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Overall skin texture and quality

Because PRP is obtained from your own blood, each treatment is personalized to you. A consultation is required to determine whether SkinPen microneedling or microneedling with PRP is appropriate for your skin, health history, and treatment goals.

• A plan for optimal results. Your physician may recommend a course of procedures based on your individual goals. Maintenance of your procedure might require multiple treatments.
• A comfortable procedure. Based on your needs, your esthetician will likely apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment area.
• A short procedure time. The treatment will likely take about 30-60 minutes.
• A mild sensation. Most patients report feeling only the slight vibration during the procedure.
• Minimal post-procedure effects. The skin will appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Additionally, the most common treatment responses experienced were dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, discomfort, tenderness, and burning. These conditions resolved over time without any further complications.
• Soothing aftercare. Your clinician will provide the proper after care to be used to prevent the skin from drying out post-treatment.
• An effective post-procedure protocol. Your provider might recommend an aftercare regimen.
