Microneedling

Microneedling is an excellent, affordable way to unlock your skin’s full potential. Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin to trigger the skin’s healing response and break up scar tissue. This leads to new skin growth and rejuvenation.

We offer standard microneedling, as well as microneedling with PRP or exosomes to introduce growth factors into the skin during treatment. Request your appointment to learn which option is right for you!

How to Prepare for Microneedling

• Avoid sun exposure on the area that’s going to be treated to help make treatment safe and effective.

• Tell your provider about any medications you’re taking or topical medications you’re applying so that they can ensure there won’t be any adverse reactions.

• Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications at least one week before your treatment as these can heighten the likelihood of bruising.

• Hydrate well on the morning of your treatment.

Microneedling Steps

1. Consultation - Dr. Alkadri will discuss your goals, determine the best treatment options, and give you an idea of what to expect from treatment.

2. Numbing - The face is topically numbed with an anesthetic cream to help you feel comfortable during application.

3. Microneedling - Using a microneedling pen, your provider creates tiny channels in the skin and activates collagen production.

4. Healing - You will experience some redness for 2-3 days following and should be sure to wear sunblock and protect the skin as it heals.

5. Result - You will begin seeing improvements shortly after the procedure, with the full results taking hold within several months and lasting up to 1-2 years.

Microneedling FAQ

What areas can be treated with microneedling?

Microneedling is appropriate for the face, chest, back, and more. Treatment will help break up damaged tissue or scar tissue, prompt cell growth in other skin tissues, and provide overall anti-aging.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of total sessions will depend on your skin’s aging and your treatment goals. Talk to your provider at your consultation about what he anticipates being ideal for your skin. Most clients benefit from several treatments spaced at least one month apart.
