Microneedling

​

Automated microneedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is used for treating the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance.

 

During this procedure, a microneedling pen is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Microneedling creates superficial micro-channels which can be used with topical gels, serums, PRX T-33, or PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) to help improve the appearance of the skin. The skin’s repair process results in the improvement of the appearance of the skin. Minimal downtime is expected. Patients typically experience 2-4 days of skin redness and mild swelling.

 

The benefits of microneedling can include a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This results in younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. Microneedling may also have a positive effect on the appearance of hyper-pigmentation, hypo-pigmentation, scars and generally creates a fresher appearance or glow to the skin.

Microneedling with PRX-T33

The PRX-T33 contains a combination of trichloroacetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid. The peel penetrates deep and acts on the epidermal layer down to the basal layer, stimulating it to regenerate and renew. It is able to remove toughened skin without damaging the epidermis. When PRX T-33 is used in conjunction with microneedling you will see an improvement in skin texture, tone, and discoloration.  

​

Patients typically experience 2-4 days of skin redness, mild swelling.  Typically 2-4 treatments are needed, 4 weeks apart.  Immediate improvement in texture with maximum benefits  in skin tightening seen at 6 months. 

​

With these procedures, patients typically start with a series of 2-4 treatments and then receive maintenance treatments as needed, typically 1-2 times a year.

Microneedling with PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) or the “PRFM Facial”

​

The PRFM Facial uses platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) in conjunction with microneedling to improve skin texture, tone, and discoloration. A small blood sample is taken then carefully separated into a Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix serum. Once the serum is prepared, it is then applied topically to the problem area and a microneedling device is used to push the serum into the skin at various depths. Minimal downtime is expected.  Patients typically experience 2-4 days of skin redness, mild swelling.  Typically 2-4 treatments are needed, 4 weeks apart.  Immediate improvement in texture with maximum benefits seen at 6 months.
