MICRONEEDLING
& PRP (platelet-rich-plasma)
Microneedling ranges in time depending on the area of treatment. The face and neck are commonlytreated 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.
