Microneedling
Microneedling is one of the most in-demand ways to rejuvenate skin and boost youthful collagen. Enjoy your best skin yet with a customized treatment package from our skin rejuvenation experts.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, sometimes called collagen induction therapy, is a technique that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production response through generating tiny wounds in the skin. By creating very fine channels in the skin, new collagen can be generated over time to reduce skin concerns like fine lines, scarring, pigmentation, and volume loss. With regular treatments, microneedling can achieve a more youthful, refreshed look and can be easily incorporated into your regular skincare regimen. It’s great for many different types of skin and can accomplish a variety of different skincare goals.

The Types of Microneedling
At Skin Addict Studio, we offer several different methods of microneedling, depending on your individual needs. You specialist will analyze your skin and provide a personalized treatment plan to provide you the best possible results.
Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a complex sugar naturally found in your skin. It’s responsible for keeping your skin soft and supple and can be found in many different skincare products and serums. HA can be microneedled into the skin to improve skin concerns like dryness, texture, and aging. It can also boost collagen production and improve cell turnover, keeping your skin bright and youthful. You’ll see noticeably younger, smoother skin after HA microneedling, and it can be an excellent option for virtually any skin type.
Microneedling with PRP
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a new therapy that uses your own blood sample to generate a concentrated serum rich in growth factors. Growth factors can boost many of the body’s regenerative functions like cell turnover and collagen production. PRP microneedling is a popular new skincare treatment (sometimes called the Vampire Facial) that can effectively rewind signs of aging and rejuvenate the skin – all without the risks that come with harsh chemicals and products. Because PRP is made from your own blood sample, it’s a great option for patients who might not be good candidates for other treatments, like those who are prone to allergic reactions.
Microneedling with PRF
PRF microneedling is similar to PRP microneedling, except PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is considered the next generation in PRP therapy. PRF is created from your own blood sample, except it’s prepared using specialized technology to preserve many additional benefits that are typically lost during the PRP preparation stage. PRF can produce transformative results when microneedled into the skin, including boosting cell turnover, protecting against many types of damage, and promoting faster healing. PRF microneedling is one of the most advanced skincare treatments available and is a great option for virtually any skin type.
What Can I Expect From Microneedling?
You’ll first meet with our microneedling technicians to create a customized treatment package that fits your goals. Microneedling works best as a regular treatment package, so you’ll discuss factors like frequency and number of treatments based on your skincare concerns. Microneedling can be performed in our comfortable office and can take as little as 30 minutes. Once your skin has been cleansed and prepared, a specialized handpiece with very fine micro-needles will be applied to your skin. Then, active ingredients can be applied for better, deeper absorption through the generated wounds in the skin. Finally, your skin will be neutralized and made ready for the rest of your day.
Microneedling Aftercare and Results
After microneedling, you’ll be given detailed instructions on how to take care of your skin. It’s very important to avoid sun exposure, so make sure to wear SPF 30 or more daily. Additionally, avoid active ingredients for at least one week after treatment and opt instead for a gentle, unscented moisturizer. For the first 24 hours, make sure to avoid exercise and heat exposure, since it can irritate your treated skin. You’ll see gradual results emerge over the following weeks and months which can be improved with subsequent treatments. Most patients benefit from a package of 4-6 treatments spaced about one month apart, and you can opt for touch-up appointments as needed to maintain collagen growth.
