Microneedling is a procedure that uses an automated pen equipped with fine needles of varying lengths to microscopically puncture the skin several hundred or thousands of times, resulting in improvement in skin color, quality, pore size, acne scars, firmness and in hair density.
Microneedling may also be used to increase delivery of certain molecules through the epidermis, such as platelet-rich plasma to increase hair density, improve skin quality, stretch marks, or pigmentation, or Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) to further boost the collagen synthesis effects of microneedling in skin toning or acne scarring.
The procedure needs to be repeated monthly for several months, and is often used as part of a maintenance program to maintain your skin’s healthy, youthful quality.
