What Happens During Microneedling?
During a session, a specialized device creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. Before treatment begins, a topical numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable.
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. These microchannels trigger collagen and elastin production while also allowing skincare serums to penetrate more deeply for enhanced results.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling offers several benefits with minimal downtime. Treatments are customizable for different skin types and concerns, and results continue to improve over time as collagen production increases. Patients appreciate that microneedling is non-surgical, has a relatively quick recovery, and delivers natural-looking improvements without dramatically altering facial features.
What Are the Aftercare Instructions?
After microneedling treatment, your skin may appear red or feel slightly sensitive for a day or two. Patients should avoid direct sun exposure and skip makeup and harsh skincare products for at least 24 hours. Keeping the skin clean, hydrated, and protected helps support healing and maximize results.
How Can I Enhance My Microneedling Results With PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a natural add-on that can take your microneedling results to the next level. Since PRP is created from your own blood, it’s a biocompatible option that supports skin repair and revitalization from within. PRP works by activating the body’s built-in regenerative response, releasing powerful growth factors that encourage collagen formation, promote tissue renewal, and support faster recovery.
To begin, a small amount of blood is collected and placed into a specialized centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, creating a serum rich in growth factors. After your microneedling treatment, the PRP is applied directly to the skin, where it can absorb through the microchannels created during the procedure.
When used alongside microneedling, PRP can help improve overall skin tone and texture, often leading to smoother, brighter-looking skin and more noticeable rejuvenation.
