Microneedling is treatment that can be used to improve the appearance of scars, boost collagen and rejuvenate the skin’s tone, texture, and color.
How Does it work
The treatment uses ultrafine needles and heat to penetrate the top layer of the skin and trigger the body’s natural healing process to regenerate new collagen and elastin. The number of passes and penetration to the skin will vary by patient and affect the results seen.
When will I see results?
The elastin and collagen-building typically takes place 4-6 weeks after treatment, with optimal results usually seen at 12 weeks after the last treatment. The number of passes and penetration to the skin will affect the results seen.
Combining Microneedling and PRP
Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) along with micro-needling provides natural growth factors to act synergistically with skin needling in order to enhance the wound healing response. Because of the platelets’ unique ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production, the use of PRP along with microneedling helps repair wrinkles, facial lines, acne scars, and even skin tones.
