Stimulate collagen for a youthful complexion

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that helps rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Using a device with ultra-fine needles, tiny controlled micro-injuries are created on the skin’s surface, triggering your natural healing response. As new collagen forms, your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned and textured. Microneedling is suitable for treating a variety of concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall dullness, and helps achieve a refreshed complexion.

Aesthetic concerns that microneedling treats:

  • Fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Enlarged or visible pores
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Mild skin laxity and crepiness
  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
  • Dull, lackluster complexion
  • Stretch marks on the body

How does
microneedling work?

Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine, sterile needles. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, triggering the release of growth factors and promoting the production of collagen and elastin, key proteins responsible for skin strength and elasticity. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone and texture. This regenerative process results in gradual, natural skin rejuvenation.

Amplify the results of
microneedling with PRP

Enhance your skin’s regenerative response by combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Derived from your own blood, PRP is rich in growth factors that boost healing and stimulate collagen production. When applied during microneedling, PRP penetrates deep into the microchannels, amplifying results and reducing recovery time. This helps improve texture, tone, and overall radiance more effectively than microneedling alone.

How is microneedling
administered?

During microneedling, Dr. Patel will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a numbing cream to ensure comfort. Once your skin is prepared, a microneedling device will be passed over the treatment area, creating precise micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production. You may feel a prickling sensation, but the procedure is well-tolerated. The entire session lasts 30 to 60 minutes, and post-treatment serums may be applied to enhance healing and rejuvenation.

What happens during recovery
after microneedling?

After microneedling, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for 24 to 48 hours. Your skin might feel tight or slightly sensitive as it heals. Downtime is minimal, but it’s important to avoid makeup, sun exposure, and intense workouts for the first 24 hours. You’ll be advised to use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Following Dr. Patel’s aftercare instructions will support optimal healing and comfort.

What are microneedling results like?

You may begin to notice brighter, smoother skin within a week of your microneedling session, with continued improvements over the following weeks as collagen production increases. The results are gradual and build with each treatment. With proper skincare and sun protection, your results can last several months and continue improving over time.

How many microneedling sessions will I need?

The number of microneedling sessions you need depends on your individual goals and skin concerns. For mild texture issues or early signs of aging, three sessions spaced four weeks apart may be sufficient. For deeper acne scars, stretch marks, or more advanced concerns, a series of five to six treatments may be recommended.
