Microneedling in King of Prussia

Microneedling is a safe skin treatment when performed by a medical esthetician, nurse, or physician. This treatment is safest when done sterilely in a clinical environment.

There are virtually no adverse side effects. The few that do exist are swelling or bruising during the recovery phase. A herpes simplex virus (cold sore) outbreak is possible if you have a history of them. Since the tiny 'micro-wounds' close within one hour, post-procedure infections are extremely unlikely.

Most people will experience redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. There may be minimal pin-point bleeding or bruising. After those symptoms subside, your skin will look smoother and more radiant.

The inflammatory reaction of the skin is extremely short and fades significantly within hours from redness to pinkish. To reduce visible redness, we recommend hyaluronic acid after the procedure and protecting the skin with SPF 50+ sunblock outdoors.

Microneedling can be safely repeated until you achieve the desired results. For collagen induction, we recommend starting with three treatments. The number of treatments required will depend on how each individual responds to the treatments and the extent of the damage. Microneedling can be used on multiple parts of the body—neck, décolleté, arms, legs, etc. Most people will begin to see results after just one session.

Do not use products with AHAs, retinol, or acidic ingredients after microneedling to ensure optimal healing. Exposure to sun should also be avoided, and sunblock should be used.

Yes! We often recommend the powerful combination of microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and exosomes for a comprehensive and rejuvenating skincare approach. PRP, derived from the patient's blood, contains growth factors that enhance tissue repair and promote a youthful complexion. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles loaded with regenerative signals, amplify the rejuvenating effects. These modalities work synergistically to address various skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to overall skin texture improvement. This integrated approach harnesses the body's natural healing abilities, providing our patients with a personalized and effective solution for radiant and revitalized skin.
