What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a facial rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of fine needles to stimulate collagen production, also called Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI). It is used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars (including acne scars), stretch marks, and pigmentation. Microneedling is customized according to the needs of the patient. There are a variety of serums and plant stem cell extracts that can be added to the procedure to address specific skin concerns.
Microneedling With PRP
PRP microneedling, also known as a vampire facial, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that can be used to improve the appearance of the skin. The process involves using a device called the Amiea Exceed Pen to create microscopic punctures in the top layer of skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which leads to an increase in collagen and elastin production. The new collagen and elastin help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a substance that is derived from the patient’s own blood. PRP is rich in growth factors and other nutrients that can promote healing. We use the TruPRP from Magellan to harness the growth factors and stem cells in your blood. When PRP is used in conjunction with microneedling, it can help to further improve the results of the procedure.
Benefits of PRP facials include:
- Fast results and no downtime
- Tighter, firmer-looking skin
- Enhanced skin tone and texture
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduced appearance of acne or surgical scars
- Lighten sun spots and spider veins
Microneedling With Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally found in the skin. It helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump and improves tone and texture. This treatment can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. The results of this treatment are immediate and can last for several months.
Benefits of microneedling with HA include:
- Immediate results
- Long-lasting results (up to 6 months)
- Tighter, firmer skin
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhanced skin tone and texture
- Hydration
- Increased elasticity
- Glow
Microneedling With Ozone (Oxygen)
Ozone is a gas that has been shown to have therapeutic benefits. When used in conjunction with microneedling, topical ozone can help to improve the appearance of the skin. Ozone is thought to help kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. It can also help to stimulate collagen production.
Ozone has been shown to aid in wound healing and can help to improve the appearance of scars. This therapy has been shown to reduce fibrous tissue by encouraging the phagocytic activity of excessive collagen fibers in connective tissue.
Ozone is an effective acne treatment. It reduces edema and hyperemia, softens inflammatory infiltrates and eliminates acne infection. After treatments with ozone, there is a decrease in inflammatory lesions and edema, a decline in pustular eruptions, and a decrease in oxidative stress markers in plasma (Malondialdehyde).
Benefits of Microneedling with Ozone include:
- Reduced inflammation
- Reduced appearance of scars
- Stimulated collagen production
- Reduced inflammation
- Acne Reduction
How the Procedure Works
First, the face is cleansed and prepped for treatment. A numbing cream is applied to help minimize any discomfort. Next, the Amiea Exceed Pen is passed over the skin. The needles create microscopic punctures in the top layer of the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which leads to an increase in collagen and elastin production.
Serums, plant stem cell extracts, or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) can be applied to the skin during the procedure. These substances help to further improve the results of the microneedling treatment.
What To Expect After the Procedure
After the procedure, the treated areas of the face may be slightly red and swollen. This is normal and will resolve within a few days. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately after the treatment. It is important to avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds. Do not itch, rub or pick at your face. Use a gentle soap on your skin with warm water and a mild moisturizer. You will receive more specific instructions after your treatment.
You will start to see results within a few weeks, but optimal results will become apparent after 3-6 months as new collagen and elastin are produced.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is safe for any skin type and tone and can be used to treat a variety of concerns. It is a good option for anyone seeking a minimally invasive alternative to surgery or other more aggressive procedures.
Microneedling is not suitable for all patients. If you have any of the following conditions, you should consider alternative therapy.
- Active skin infection
- Hepatitis C
- History of keloid scarring
- History of using Accutane or any other isotretinoin products in the past six months
- Pregnant or nursing
Advantages Over a Facelift
Microneedling provides many of the same benefits as a facelift, but it is much less invasive. There is no cutting or incisions made in the skin, so there is no scarring or lengthy recovery times. The procedure is also much less expensive than a facelift.
Another advantage of microneedling is that it can be performed on patients of any age. It is a great option for younger patients in their 20s and 30s who are just starting to see the first signs of aging or who have acne scars and patients in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who are seeking a more dramatic rejuvenation.
Unicorn Facial
The Unicorn Facial is a more natural treatment that combines PRX-T33 (non-peeling chemical peel) and microneedling. PRX-T33 detoxifies the skin, stimulates the production of collagen, and smoothes the skin, while microneedling accelerates collagen and elastin production. PRX-T33 stimulates collagen from the deeper layers of dermis, and the microneedling resurfaces to achieve the hydrated glow – this hits both layers for the perfect complete facial.
The result is a more youthful appearance with tighter, brighter skin. It can be used to treat concerns such as acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, melasma, rosacea, and more.
