Microneedling

What is it?

AKA collagen-induction therapy, where we poke tiny, microscopic holes into the skin to create “micro-injuries,” which stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving overall skin tone and texture.
It helps resurface the skin by smoothing fine lines, deep wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks. Works on any part of the face and body.
A series of 3-6 treatments spaced six weeks apart will significantly improve your skin.

What to Expect

The treatment is started with 30 minutes of topical numbing so that your treatment is pain-free.
Your skin will look and feel similar to a bad sunburn for 1-3 days post-treatment
You may experience slight skin peeling or dryness 4-5 days after treatment.

Post Care

Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! This will help increase your healing time and maximize your results. We recommend a simple yet effective moisturizer to keep that skin hydrated.
Keep it simple- for the first 24 hours, rinse your skin with cool water only, no soaps!
No makeup for 24 hours

Microneedling with PRP in NYC

Have you heard about microneedling with PRP or collagen induction therapy?

It’s an incredible skin rejuvenation treatment that uses your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The beauty of it? There’s no recovery time needed, allowing you to flaunt your enhanced skin tone and texture immediately! This procedure has gained immense popularity in NYC because it targets many skin concerns, from aging and fine lines to acne scars and wrinkles, improving skin tone and texture. Consider it your secret weapon against a range of skin concerns!

What is PRP, and how does it enhance microneedling?

Platelet-rich plasma, commonly known as PRP, is a substance naturally present in your blood and has been employed in sports medicine for ages to expedite collagen production. Similarly, it stands out as a special ingredient in skincare, enhancing the skin’s healing processes due to its abundance of growth factors that stimulate cell reproduction and tissue regeneration. Give your skin a front-row seat to its beautification process, all thanks to the magic of PRP!

Combine PRP with microneedling, and you’ve got a dynamic duo for achieving smoother and glowing skin. Who would have thought that your blood held such potential? It’s like a little skincare secret that’s been right under our noses all along!

 What is microneedling with PRP like?

The procedure is quite simple. During your treatment, we’ll take a small sample of your blood, which will then be placed in a centrifuge. This device separates the platelet-rich plasma from your red blood cells, resulting in a concentrated solution of platelets.

To ensure minimal to no pain, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream. The microneedling pen will create tiny, microscopic holes in your skin, inducing “micro-injuries” that stimulate collagen and elastin production. These microchannels formed on the skin’s surface create the perfect canvas for the PRP treatment. Following microneedling, the PRP serum will be applied to your skin’s surface, and we’ll leave it on to allow your skin to absorb all the nourishing benefits of PRP.

 

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment generally takes about an hour to complete, including the topical numbing at the start of the process, followed by microneedling with PRP.

 What is the downtime, and what should you expect after the treatment?

The recovery time is brief, with the skin resembling a sunburn for 1-3 days after the treatment. Generally, any redness subsides within a few days, and most patients can resume normal activities immediately. You may experience slight peeling or dryness of the skin around 4-5 days post-treatment.

Post Care after the treatment:

Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! This is key to expediting your healing process and optimizing your results. We recommend a simple yet effective moisturizer to maintain your skin’s hydration.

Keep it accessible – during the first 24 hours, rinse your skin with cool water, avoiding soaps! Additionally, refrain from applying any makeup for 24-48 hours.

How long does it take for the results to appear?

The results are apparent; many people begin experiencing the benefits right after the initial treatment! Improvement continues over the next few days and reaches desired levels after a few sessions. Optimal outcomes are achieved with 3-6 treatments spaced six weeks apart, leading to a significant skin enhancement.
