What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Trusetd Source Checkbox Trusted Source Microneedling StatPearls Go to Source 2  These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. There are three phases to the wound-repair process:

Phase I – Inflammatory Response:
When the skin is punctured, the immune system responds by cleansing the area, eliminating damaged cells, boosting circulation, and initiating tissue regeneration.

Phase II – Tissue Formation:
Fresh granulation tissue forms as part of the repair process, laying down new structural components. During this stage, capillaries and other blood vessels begin to regenerate.

Phase III – Remodeling Stage:
Over time, the newly formed tissue is refined and strengthened, replacing the temporary matrix with mature dermal layers and stable vascular networks.

The result is improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and diminished acne scars.

Preparing for Microneedling

Before your microneedling session, avoid injectables like Botox® or fillers for at least two weeks. Refrain from using active skincare products such as retinoids or acids a few days prior. Our team will provide a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimal results.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

Microneedling treatments typically begin with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. Once the skin is prepped, a specialized microneedling device is passed over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries using tiny needles. The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. You may feel a slight tingling or prickling sensation, but most clients find the experience easily tolerable.

PRP Add-On for Enhanced Healing

For an added boost, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) can be combined with your microneedling treatment. PRP is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors that support the skin’s wound healing process. When applied during or after microneedling, PRP enhances the body’s natural healing response, accelerating results and improving overall skin rejuvenation. This powerful add-on is ideal for those seeking more dramatic improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

Microneedling Recovery

After treatment, you may experience redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within 24 to 72 hours. It’s essential to keep the treatment area clean and moisturized. Avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous activities for a few days to allow your body to recover. Most clients notice visible improvements after a single microneedling treatment, with optimal results after multiple sessions.
