How does microneedling work?  

Microneedling with the SkinPen is an FDA-cleared treatment designed to stimulate healing processes and make them occur quicker, especially since collagen production slows down with age. The SkinPen creates microwounds with dozens of tiny needles that penetrate your skin in a controlled manner.

These very small wounds trigger cell signaling — since your body knows an injury is occurring — which forces increased blood flow to the area, as well as rapid cell turnover.

As your skin heals over the following days and weeks, new collagen and elastin fibers build up from deep below. These new skin-firming components stack neatly together to completely remodel your skin and restore your skin’s youthful texture and appearance.  

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-rich plasma consists of two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body. Platelets are well-known for their clotting abilities, but they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area.  

PRP, or liquid gold as it’s known in the industry, is an enhancement that can be added to your microneedling treatment to boost results and speed up collagen production. Contact our staff today to learn more about adding PRP to your microneedling treatment.

What can microneedling treat?

Microneedling with the SkinPen is ideal for improving the appearance of a wide variety of skin imperfections and blemishes, all with a single type of treatment. Your microneedling treatment plan from Natural Body Spa & SkinReMEDI is ideal for resolving:

• Skin elasticity
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Surgery, injury, or acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Sun damage  
• Age spots

Even though microneedling is most commonly requested to enhance the skin on your face, your dedicated aesthetician at SkinReMEDI by Natural Body Spa may be able to treat other areas, including your neck and décolleté, too.

When can I expect results after microneedling?

There is minimal downtime associated with Microneedling treatments. You may experience some minor redness, swelling, or tenderness after your microneedling session, which should resolve within a few hours. As your skin continues to heal, you begin noticing that your skin’s tone, texture, and overall appearance are improved within a few weeks.

Most SkinPen microneedling services from Natural Body Spa & SkinReMEDI include a series of three sessions, spaced about a month apart. Your skin continues to heal itself for as long as six months after your last treatment.

The skin care experts at Natural Body Spa & SkinReMEDI also have several types of clinical-grade skin care products available for purchase. Your aesthetician can help you select the right types of skin care products to use at home to promote healing after microneedling and help your skin continue to combat the effects of aging.
