Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat skin concerns by stimulating collagen. This treatment creates micro-punctures in the skin using miniature sterilized needles.
The skins healing process after microneedling can help reduce the appearance of scars and dark spots as well as improve skin elasticity.
Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The pinpricks cause a slight injury to the skin and the skin responds by making new collagen rich tissue. This new skin tissue is more even in tone and texture.
At the office, one of our Aesthetic RNs will apply a topical serum or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as they are microneedling your skin. After the service, you may notice pin point bleeding, redness, and tightness of the skin. This service has very little downtime.
