Frequently Asked Questions
-
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that creates controlled microchannels in the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing response and collagen production. It can improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and certain acne scars.
-
Microneedling with hyaluronic acid focuses on skin hydration and improving texture using a sterile, procedure-appropriate serum.
Microneedling with PRP involves platelet-rich plasma prepared from a sample of your own blood. PRP may support skin rejuvenation.
-
We offer microneedling for the full face or face and neck. Treatment areas are selected based on your skin concerns, goals, and medical assessment.
-
This treatment combines facial microneedling with injections of platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood. It is intended to support skin rejuvenation and improve the appearance of skin texture. Your provider will assess whether this combination is appropriate for you.
-
This treatment combines microneedling with PRP injections around the under-eye area and topical hyaluronic acid. It may help improve the appearance of skin quality and fine lines in suitable patients. Results vary, and it may not correct all causes of dark circles or under-eye hollowness.
-
Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort. A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to improve comfort. PRP injections may cause additional temporary discomfort.
-
Redness, sensitivity, and mild swelling are common for approximately 1–3 days after microneedling, although recovery can take longer. PRP injections may also cause bruising or swelling lasting several days or more.
-
Many patients benefit from a series of approximately 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart. The recommended number of sessions depends on your skin condition, treatment goals, and individual response.
-
Some patients notice smoother-looking skin after initial healing. Collagen remodeling takes time, so improvements in texture and fine lines may develop gradually over several weeks to months.
-
Avoid excessive sun exposure and inform your provider about any active skin infections, recent cosmetic procedures, medications, or medical conditions. Your provider will advise whether to temporarily avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, or other irritating skincare products.
-
Follow your provider's specific aftercare instructions. Generally, avoid direct sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and irritating skincare products until your skin has recovered. Use only recommended skincare products during the initial healing period.
-
Microneedling is not appropriate for everyone. Patients with active skin infections, certain inflammatory skin conditions, impaired wound healing, or other medical concerns may need to postpone or avoid treatment. PRP procedures also require additional screening. Potential risks include infection, pigment changes, scarring, and prolonged irritation.
