Microneedling Q & A
What is microneedling?
Microneedling provides anti-aging benefits by creating a controlled skin injury. The procedure uses a tool equipped with fine needles that make tiny punctures in your skin. These punctures stimulate your natural healing process, boosting the production of collagen and elastin, which give your skin the strength and elasticity it had when you were younger.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling can improve many common skin concerns, including:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Acne and acne scarring
- Dark spots
- Sun damage
- Rosacea
- Dull skin
- Sagging skin
Microneedling helps your body regenerate skin tissue, producing dramatic anti-aging results without surgery.
What happens during a microneedling treatment?
The skilled team at BSN Regenerative Institute offers three microneedling options:
Standard microneedling
Your provider cleanses your face and then applies a topical anesthetic gel to keep you comfortable during the treatment. They carefully roll the microneedling tool across your face to create the puncture wounds that stimulate skin repair.
Microneedling with RF
This treatment uses Morpheus 8®, a specialized microneedling tool that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy into your skin as the needles create punctures. The RF energy heats the deep layers of your skin, causing it to tighten and increasing collagen production, so your microneedling results are even more dramatic.
Microneedling with PRP
This treatment begins with your provider taking a small amount of blood from your arm and processing it to create platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors that enhance skin healing. Your provider performs the microneedling procedure, then topically applies the PRP to your skin. This option offers natural enhancement of results that appear gradually over time.
In most cases, the team at BSN Regenerative Institute recommends a series of 3-4 microneedling treatments to achieve optimal skin rejuvenating results.
Does microneedling require downtime?
You can resume normal activities right after your treatment, but you might have some soreness or swelling. Your provider may recommend using an ice pack on your face on the day of your treatment. You might also experience a little redness or mild bruising, which should subside in a few days.
Microneedling can brighten, tighten, and rejuvenate your appearance, leaving you with smoother, healthier skin that glows with youthful radiance. To learn more about microneedling, schedule a consultation at BSN Regenerative Institute. Call the office or book online today.
