Microneedling Treatment Options
- Microneedling
Stimulates collagen production by creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin using precise, medical-grade needles. This controlled process triggers your body’s natural healing response for improved skin texture and tone. A series of 3-6 treatments is advised, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
- Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Enhances traditional microneedling by applying your body’s own platelet-rich plasma to the treatment area, delivering concentrated growth factors deep into the skin. This advanced combination therapy accelerates healing and maximizes collagen production for superior results. Series of 3-4 treatments recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes SkinPen® and Candela® microneedling devices superior to other options?
SkinPen® was the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, setting the standard for collagen induction therapy. It features precisely manufactured surgical-grade needles that create consistent, clean microchannels without tearing or damaging surrounding tissue. The Candela® device offers advanced technology with adjustable depth settings and superior needle quality for targeted treatment customization.
How does adding PRP enhance microneedling results?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) significantly enhances microneedling results by delivering concentrated growth factors directly into the microchannels created during treatment. These growth factors enhance the healing process and stimulate more robust collagen and elastin production, resulting in more significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Is microneedling painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during microneedling treatments, thanks to our comprehensive approach to ensuring your comfort. We will apply a strong topical numbing cream before your procedure, which significantly reduces sensation in the treatment area. Many clients describe the feeling as a light vibration or mild prickling sensation during the procedure.
How soon will I see results from microneedling, and how long do they last?
You’ll notice initial improvements in your skin’s texture and glow within days of your first microneedling treatment as mild inflammation subsides and cell turnover increases. However, the most significant results develop over time as collagen production increases. Many individuals see noticeable improvements after just one session, with optimal results typically appearing after a series of 3-6 treatments.
What is the typical downtime after a microneedling treatment?
Microneedling offers impressive results with minimal social downtime. Immediately after treatment, you’ll experience redness similar to a mild to moderate sunburn, along with possible slight swelling. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours, though it may last slightly longer for more intensive treatments or those combined with PRP.
