Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment for achieving multiple skin health benefits with almost no downtime!  This treatment can improve signs and symptoms of aging, improves the appearance of skin texture, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, diminish acne scars, and can improve the appearance of stretch marks.

Microneedling works by causing controlled micro-injuries to the skin of the face, neck, and/or decolletage.  These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound recuperation process and enhance the natural production of collagen and elastin.

By adding Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to your Microneedling session, you can take your results even further!  We will take a small sample of your blood, which is then spun, resulting in enriched plasma that we will apply to the area being treated.  PRP promotes the natural healing process, can shorten recovery time, and improve results!

Microneedling (with or without PRP) is typically done as a series to achieve optimal results.  Depending on your goals and concerns, anywhere from 3-6 treatments may be recommended.  Visits are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Potential Contraindications to Microneedling:
