This treatment involves using a microneedling device to create tiny micro-channels in the skin, this triggers your body’s natural healing response to produce more collagen and elastin. When we incorporate the application of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or one of our boosters this will enhance your healing, decrease downtime and inflammation and increase the speed of collagen production.

PRP is your Platelet Rich Plasma. It is rich in growth factors, cytokines, and adhesive proteins like fibrin. While you’re numbing for your procedure, we will take a small blood sample, via a blood draw. Your blood is then placed into a centrifuge. This device isolates your plasma, we extract your plasma and use it during your procedure. This process enhances natural healing, reduces pain and inflammation and decreases downtime. Don’t worry if you are not comfortable with a blood draw, we have many other options to promote healing. 

Patients may experience minor discomfort, we numb you for this treatment so that it is generally well tolerated. There may be some redness and swelling for a few days post-treatment. Expect an improvement in overall skin tone, pore size, texture, scars, luminosity, smoothness, fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks etc. 

Typically, 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for the best results. The severity of the condition, the age of the patient, lifestyle and desired outcome may increase the number of sessions needed.

- Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure as well as a spray tan for 2-4 weeks prior

- Refrain from using retinoids and exfoliating products for 48 hours before treatment.

- Do not undergo other aesthetic procedures 10-14 days prior to your microneedling appointment.
