Microneedling is a highly effective, non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve overall skin quality, texture, and tone. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling involves the creation of controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine, medical-grade needles. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, prompting collagen and elastin production, which are essential for youthful, smooth, and resilient skin.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling is minimally invasive and does not require surgery or general anesthesia, making it ideal for patients seeking safe, effective skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. The procedure can target multiple skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth
- Acne scars and post-surgical scars
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores and rough skin texture
- Overall skin laxity and loss of firmness
During treatment, tiny needles penetrate the superficial layers of the skin, creating micro-channels. These channels not only trigger collagen production but also allow serums, growth factors, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to penetrate more deeply, maximizing the efficacy of adjunct treatments.
PRP Microneedling for Enhanced Results
Combining microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is one of the most advanced non-surgical techniques available. PRP uses the patient’s own blood to extract growth factors that accelerate healing, improve texture, and enhance skin radiance. When applied during microneedling, PRP can:
- Boost collagen and elastin production
- Reduce pigmentation and fine lines more effectively
- Promote a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion
