Microneedling
This procedure creates micro-punctures in the skin which triggers a production of collagen-rich tissue.
This fairly simple treatment offers many skin benefits by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
These benefits include:
​
-
reducing enlarged pores
-
diminishing the appearance of scars including acne scars
-
improving skin elasticity
-
reducing fine lines and wrinkles
-
smoothing the skins texture overall
PRP
PRP stands for platelet-rich-plasma therapy which is used for regenerative purposes. Platelets contain many growth factors and proteins and play an essential role in healing. The addition of PRP makes microneedling more effective and encourages cell proliferation. This leads to an increase in elastin and collagen production. When microneedling is combined with PRP), the results can be even more impressive. This procedure amplifies collagen production which improves and refines skin texture, resulting in a more regenerated and radiant complexion.

Microneeedling - Before & After Care
Microneedling ranges in time depending on the area of treatment. The face and neck are commonly treated areas and treatments can range between 30-60 minutes. Some patients notice improvements within the first 2 weeks, however optimal results can take 4-6 weeks to notice. We recommend 3 treatment sessions to encourage maximum collagen induction. For those with deeper pockets or scarring 4-6 treatments are recommended. Treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Microneedling procedures can cause mild discomfort and a topical anesthetic is used to minimize this discomfort.
After you have microneedling some side effects are expected. Your skin will appear red or flushed and these symptoms will most likely fade within 48 hours. Mild flaking of the skin and breakouts may also occur within the first week.
It is best to refrain from the use of skincare products containing retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, AHA, and BHAs for a week prior to treatment.​

PRP - Before and After Care
If you are receiving a PRP treatment with your microneedling it is best to refrain from the use of Nsaids as these medications can decrease the effectiveness of the PRP treatment.
After treatment we encourage you to wait at least 6 hours prior to washing your face to allow time for the micro-injuries to close. Use a mild facial cleanser. You may apply a calming moisturizer with SPF as needed. Avoid wearing make for 48-72 hours following the treatment.
Refrain from strenuous activity for 72 hours following the treatment.
Avoid direct sun exposure for 1 week.
Avoid chemical peels and any abrasive procedures/treatments for 2 weeks following the treatment.
