Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation procedure that uses needle penetration to create controlled dermal injury, in order for the body to respond with production of collagen.

Microneedling With PRP Procedure
The procedure begins with cleaning the targeted areas of skin and an application of a local anesthetic. The Microneedling procedure lasts about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treated area. A professional needling device known as a Collagen P.I.N is used to promote new collagen and elastin production. The PRP solution, prepared from a small sample of your blood, is then applied to the treatment area for effective penetration. Most daily activities can be immediately resumed after the procedure is completed, so long is there is no discomfort following the treatment.
