What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a cost-effective and highly sought-after treatment option that works by activating your skin’s natural healing processes. By stimulating the release of growth factors such as VEGF, PDGF, and FGF, it promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin.
Compared to more expensive treatments like lasers or RF devices, which can cost over $1,000 per session, microneedling offers similar results in terms of texture refinement and collagen rebuilding, all at a significantly lower cost. With minimal downtime, this treatment can help smooth fine lines, tighten skin, reduce pore size, and diminish acne scars by harnessing your body’s regenerative capabilities. For enhanced results, adding PRP or PDGF+ can further amplify skin renewal and rejuvenation.
Microneedling Science
At its core, microneedling uses a device with fine needles that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, including the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen, a key structural protein found in the skin, is essential for maintaining firmness, elasticity, and a youthful appearance. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling encourages the skin to repair itself, leading to a reduction in the appearance of imperfections over time.
Versatility of Microneedling
One of the greatest advantages of microneedling is its versatility. We customize microneedling to address a wide range of skin concerns. For individuals with acne scars, microneedling helps to break down scar tissue while promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. Similarly, those struggling with fine lines and wrinkles can benefit from the skin-tightening effects of increased collagen production. Additionally, microneedling is effective in improving the appearance of large pores and uneven skin tone.
Adaptability of Microneedling
Beyond its proven effectiveness, microneedling is highly adaptable to different skin types and conditions. Unlike more aggressive treatments like chemical peels or laser therapies, microneedling is suitable for a broader range of individuals, including those with darker skin tones, who may be more prone to hyperpigmentation following certain procedures. It is also relatively quick and requires minimal downtime, so patients enjoy visible results without the need for extended recovery periods.
Microneedling Procedure
The microneedling procedure begins with a thorough consultation. We’ll go over your skin goals and determine the optimal needle depth for their treatment. Before beginning the process, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The microneedling device is then gently guided across the skin, delivering precise punctures that allow the skin to absorb serums and other beneficial ingredients more effectively. Many patients find the experience to be tolerable, with only mild redness and sensitivity afterward.
How Often Do I Get Microneedling?
For optimal results, multiple microneedling sessions may be recommended, spaced out over several weeks. While some patients notice improvements after just one treatment, the cumulative effects of consistent sessions often lead to more dramatic, long-lasting benefits. Combining microneedling with other treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, can amplify its results. PRP, derived from the patient’s own blood, contains growth factors that enhance the skin’s healing process, making it a popular add-on option.
