Microneedling

Revitalize and Rejuvenate Your Skin with Microneedling

Microneedling

Microneedling treatments utilize tiny needles to create controlled microscopic injuries in the skin. This prompts the body’s wound healing response which triggers the release of growth factors and stimulates collagen and elastin production.

It also creates microchannels for deeper penetration of topically applied serums, PRF and/or exosomes. Microneedling can be done on any area of the body and is safe for all skin types.

Optimal outcomes often require 3-6 treatments spaced 1-2 months apart and will depend on your skin’s needs and goals.

Benefits of Microneedling

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling involves the use of tiny needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries activate the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. The treatment also opens microchannels in the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of serums, PRF, or exosomes. Microneedling is safe for any area of the body and is ideal for improving acne scars, wrinkles, and skin texture. For optimal results, 3-6 treatments spaced 1-2 months apart are recommended based on individual needs.

 

Who is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is suitable for anyone looking to improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, or minimize wrinkles. It’s safe for all skin types and can be performed on various parts of the body. Those with realistic expectations and no active infections are ideal candidates for this treatment.

 

Risks and Side Effects of Microneedling

Microneedling is generally safe, but some common side effects include redness, swelling, and minor skin irritation. These effects typically resolve within a few days. There is a small risk of infection or hyperpigmentation, especially in individuals with darker skin tones. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize potential complications and ensure optimal healing.
