Microneedling
A naturally therapeutic path to timeless skin renewal.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production and enhancing its overall texture and tone.
This procedure is versatile and can address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. Results are gradual, with optimal improvements visible in the weeks following the treatment.
During microneedling, a device with fine, sterile needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These microchannels trigger the body's natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining youthful and resilient skin.
Two different solutions can be utilized to achieve results - Hyaluronic Acid Serum or Platelet Rich Plasma.
Microneedling
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) serum is a skincare marvel derived from the patient's own blood. PRP is rich in growth factors, platelets, and healing proteins, making it a potent elixir for skin rejuvenation. In this serum, a small blood sample is processed to isolate the concentrated PRP, which is then applied topically to the skin. Known for its regenerative properties, PRP serum stimulates collagen production, accelerates tissue repair, and promotes a more youthful complexion.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid serum is a skincare essential celebrated for its exceptional hydrating properties. Naturally present in the skin, hyaluronic acid is a moisture-retaining molecule that diminishes with age. In serum form, it acts as a powerful humectant, attracting and holding water to enhance skin hydration. Applied topically, hyaluronic acid serum helps plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and promoting a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Yes, when performed by a trained professional, microneedling is safe. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with a low risk of complications. However, the risk of infection or scarring can be higher if aftercare instructions aren’t followed. It’s important to seek treatment from a licensed and experienced practitioner.
-
Most patients experience mild discomfort, but the pain is usually manageable. A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Some people describe the sensation as a slight prickling or tingling feeling.
-
Immediately after treatment, your skin will likely be red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically fades within 24 to 48 hours. Some patients may experience light peeling or flaking in the following days, as the skin renews itself.

For most people, 3 to 6 sessions are recommended, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows the skin to recover and produce new collagen between sessions. Maintenance treatments may be needed every 6 months to a year, depending on individual goals.

You may start to see some improvements in your skin within a few weeks, but the full effects typically take about 6 to 8 weeks to become visible, as collagen and elastin continue to rebuild. Improvements often continue for up to 6 months after the final treatment.
