What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a medical-grade collagen induction therapy that uses fine, sterile needles to create precise micro-channels in the skin.
This process activates the body’s natural healing cascade, boosting collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Benefits

  • Smooths fine lines and wrinkles

  • Reduces acne scars and pigmentation

  • Improves skin tone and texture

  • Tightens pores

  • Enhances absorption of serums and PRP (platelet-rich plasma)

Most cosmetic-grade PRP centrifuges only process a small volume of blood - usually only 10-20 mL. That means there’s a limited supply of platelets to concentrate from the start, often resulting in a low total yield of growth factors. 

What to expect at your PRP appointment

1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, you’ll meet with our physician to review your medical history and treatment goals. We’ll discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure and collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan. Pricing and financing options will also be discussed at this time.

 

2. Anesthesia: Topical numbing creams will be applied to the face to ensure a comfortable experience.

 

3. Treatment: Microneedling is used to create microchannels across the treatment area.

​

4. Post-Care: Mild redness for 24-48h; full glow develops over 1-2 weeks.
