MICRONEEDLING in Wilmington, NC

Microneedling Treatment

Microneedling creates tiny microchannels on the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to produce new collagen and elastin. These, in turn, improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and even out skin tone. The treatment can be combined with a Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) to enhance the results. If you want to address concerns related to aging skin, the procedure takes about an hour and involves a small blood draw and PRP preparation (if you choose PRP). The microneedling procedure itself lasts around 20 minutes.

Following microneedling, most individuals experience a sensation similar to a sunburn for a day. Remember to avoid sun exposure and strenuous exercise for 24 hours after the treatment. The healing process occurs in three phases, with initial inflammation signaling the body’s immune response. The body generates new cells and blood vessels to rebuild the treated area. In the final phase, fresh dermal tissues and blood vessels replace the microchannels, creating a radiant complexion.
