Microneedling Q&A

​

What is Microneedling with PRP(Platelet-Rich Plasma)?

Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a medical aesthetics treatment that leverages your body's natural healing capabilities to enhance your skin's appearance. This procedure involves a handheld device with tiny needles that puncture the skin, creating micro-injuries that initiate a healing response. PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in growth factors that accelerate this healing process.

 

Applied to the treated areas, PRP intensifies the natural regeneration, boosting collagen production, improving blood circulation, and addressing issues like hyperpigmentation and scar tissue more effectively than microneedling alone. This combination not only smooths and plumps the skin but does so more efficiently, offering a solution for multiple skin concerns in one treatment without harsh chemicals or lasers.  

 

What kinds of skin conditions can microneedling treat?

The versatility of microneedling is part of why this treatment is so popular. Some of the common skin issues microneedling works to improve include:

• Acne

• Acne scarring

• Enlarged pores

• Sun spots

• Age spots

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Loose or sagging skin

Although your skin will look better after just one treatment, many people need a series of treatments to achieve optimal effects.    

 

IV Hydration Lounge and Med Spa also offers the chance to incorporate platelet-rich plasma into microneedling treatments. This process uses a small sample of your blood to create a powerful healing solution, accelerating new skin growth and promoting swift healing. 

 

Is microneedling painful?

All this talk of microinjuries and needles may lead you to believe that microneedling is painful. In reality, most people find these treatments easy to tolerate.

​

A numbing cream reduces sensation in the treatment area. You may feel mild stinging or burning, but no significant pain or discomfort exists.    

 

A degree of swelling and some mild bruising or bleeding is normal in the hours after microneedling. Your body quickly adjusts, and your results develop over the coming days and weeks.    

 

If you’re ready to try this innovative and all-natural treatment, call IV Hydration Lounge and Med Spa to book a consultation. Online scheduling is also an option and takes very little time to complete.
