Microneedling and PRP microneedling treatments can reduce signs of aging. Microneedling stimulates your skin’s natural collagen building processes, so incorporating healthy skincare habits after the procedure can make all the difference.

Microneedling Overview
As an anti-aging treatment, skin rejuvenation treatment, microneedling delivers remarkable results that last for up to six months. Treating your skin right after a microneedling procedure can make the results last even longer.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling triggers the skin’s collagen-producing activities. Since healthy levels of collagen gives skin a taut, supple appearance, microneedling’s effects help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and also leaves behind an even skin tone.
For even more stunning results, there’s PRP microneedling, which uses your own platelet-rich plasma cells to boost the effects of microneedling.
What Does Microneedling Do to the Skin?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a micro-needling technique to trigger your skin’s natural repair and rebuild processes. And collagen production plays a central role in your skin’s rebuilding process. In effect, microneedling forces the growth of new, healthy skin.
Microneedling’s collagen building effects offer many benefits to your skin’s health, including:
- Improves texture
- Increases elasticity
- increases suppleness
- Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles
- Lightens dark patches
- Reduces acne
- A 30-minute procedure
- Little to no discomfort
Since collagen induction therapy does cause minimal trauma to the skin’s surface, applying a medical-grade skin care product can actually extend the benefits of the procedure. Laser Skin Care Center offers many skin products designed to do just that. Below is a list of the medical-grade skin care products that we are proud to offer:
Microneedling Recovery
After a microneedling treatment, you’ll likely experience redness, a little swelling, and pinpoint bleeding. You may also feel like you have a mild sunburn. However, there’s no downtime so you can go on with your normal daily activities the next day.
Using a medical-grade skin care product helps reduce these residual effects while supporting your skin’s natural healing processes. You can expect to see fresh, healthy, supple skin for up to six months after the procedure.
Consider PRP Microneedling
Combining a PRP treatment with your microneedling procedure can deliver even more stunning results than just microneedling alone. PRP stands for “platelet-rich plasma,” which is science-backed, evidence-based treatment. The procedure uses your body’s own cells to fortify and rejuvenate your skin.
The results of a PRP microneedling session will:
- Further reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Lighten acne scars
- Reduce pore sizes
- Smooth out skin texture
Laser Skin Care Center has an expert team of dermatologists with ample experience in performing PRP microneedling treatments.
