What to Put on Skin After Microneedling

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.  *Individual results may vary 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.

How Often Should You Get Microneedling Treatments?

About Microneedling Microneedling uses a needle-studded device to make tiny micro-injuries to your skin, encouraging it to produce collagen and elastin. The therapy relies on skin cells' response to stress. Damaging the skin puts it into repair mode, increasing the energy cells dedicated to maintenance. This process changes how skin behaves and has the effect of making your complexion appear brighter and more vibrant. *Individual results may vary The procedure is powerful because of its ability to target a broad range of skin ailments. Patients at the Laser Skin Care Center use microneedling to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars.  Traditional microneedling is entirely mechanical.

We draw PRP from your blood, isolate it, and then reapply it to the face. PRP can also be utilized for hair restoration. Typical Microneedling Schedule Microneedling [...]
