Stimulate Healing and Renewal
Microneedling is a noninvasive procedure that uses small needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. The punctures from the needles stimulate our natural wound healing process and encourage collagen and elastin production. This is what renews the skin and addresses signs of aging. Microneedling can also be used to treat acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.
We use Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to enhance our Microneedling procedures. This technology is used to speed up the rejuvenation process. To accomplish microneedling with PRP, our professionals take a small sample of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge. This is what separates the red blood cells from the plasma and platelets. Then it is applied to your face and microneedled into the skin. The skin will appear red for a few hours.

Reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
The tiny injuries from a microneedling session boost collagen and elastin production to minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen and elastin are compounds in your skin that add structure and strength, lending a youthful quality. The wound-healing mechanisms also stimulate your body to produce new skin cells.

Scar Treatment
Because microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, it’s also super effective in addressing acne and other scars on your skin. The only type of scar not possible to treat is keloid, or raised scars.
-
Sun Damage
Microneedling is effective in reducing the appearance of sun damage, particularly hyperpigmentation and age spots. If you have a blotchy, brownish complexion, which is probably a result of too much sun exposure, microneedling and its ability to stimulate new collagen and skin cells can reduce dark spots and even out your skin tone.

Anti-Aging
As you get older, your skin loses its elasticity and it appears lax. Aging skin may also look dull and lack a lustrous glow. A buildup of collagen that occurs in response to the tiny wounds can improve skin structure to fight sagging.
-
Shrinks Pores
Microneedling helps your pores appear much smaller. When the collagen around your pores is stimulated, the area around each pore plumps, making the pore itself almost disappear.
-
Improves Effectiveness of topical products
Post-microneedling is the prime time to apply anti-aging treatments, moisturizers, and other topical treatments that boost skin health and appearance. The micro-holes receive creams, serums, and gels more readily and deliver them deeper into your dermis than when applied regularly.
-
Fights Stretch Marks
Microneedling works just about anywhere on your body. It can be effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks that show up after periods of rapid growth, such as during pregnancy.
-
Rosacea Reduction
The ruddiness and skin thickening of rosacea can be addressed with microneedling. If you suffer from this skin condition, you experience a hastened breakdown of collagen. Microneedling stimulates the growth of collagen to offset and replace this breakdown, so your skin looks less inflamed and irritated.
-
Acne Imrovements
Because of the improved delivery of topical applications, you can use microneedling to help improve the effectiveness of topical acne treatments. Regular microneedling sessions can help your skin clear up.
-
Fewer Side Effects than Laser or intensive peels
Microneedling’s effects are comparable to laser and chemical peel treatments but without the long downtime. You can enjoy a glowing complexion 24-72 hours after microneedling, but with laser resurfacing, your recovery may take three to 10 days. Your complexion needs 14-21 days to bounce back after a medium or intensive peel.
