PRP Skin
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses small, sterilized needles to prick the skin. The purpose of this treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue to smooth, firm, and tone skin. Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores. It can also be done to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. Combining the power of PRP, we can take microneedling one step further and enhance the results. Read more about the benefits of PRP here. This can be done anywhere on the body.
Microneedling
Using a microneedling pen and sterile needles, we will create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. For this treatment we will use hyaluronic acid to maximize results. Numbing cream is applied before the treatment to provide maximum comfort. This is an ideal treatment for deeper fine lines, deep acne scarring, stretch marks, loss of elasticity, hyperpigmentation and overall improved appearance and texture.

Microneedling with PRP
Take microneedling to the next level, using your own blood’s special healing cells to improve your skin tone and smooth out any imperfections.
For this treatment will begin by drawing your blood, spinning it down in our centrifuge and collecting the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). We will then preform the microneedling using the PRP. Studies show microneedling with PRP can dramatically improve results.

How many treatments will I need?
Ideally, microneedling should be done every 4-6 weeks. Plan on a minimum of three sessions and you may need up to 6-8 session depending on your goal.
Does it hurt?
Most people experience little if any discomfort. We apply the numbing cream to help alleviate any discomfort. Your skin will feel like it has a sunburn for a few hours and this is normal. Very rarely do people experience bruising.
What should I expect after treatment?
It is normal for your face to be red after treatment and the rest of the day. It can take up to seven days for your face to look and feel normal. Only use warm water and any provided serums for 24-48 hours post treatment. After that, it is safe to use gentle skin cleansers and gentle facial moisturizers. You will want to avoid the sun 48 hours after treatment and after that use physical (mineral i.e. zinc and titanium dioxide) sunscreen rather than chemical sunscreen while you are healing. Complete after care instructions will be provided.
