Microneedling Q&A

What is microneedling?

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-wounds in your skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production.

Collagen is a vital protein in your connective tissues. It keeps your skin elastic and plump. As you age, you naturally produce less collagen. Microneedling is a nonsurgical technique that helps restore lost collagen while optimizing cell function for more youthful-looking skin.

What can microneedling treat?

Microneedling offers a number of benefits as a nonsurgical skin treatment. If you have one or more of the following skin concerns, talk to Alure Wellness about microneedling:

  • Acne 
  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Stretch marks
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Brown spots
  • Uneven skin tone or texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Redness
  • Minor scars

Microneedling can give you the radiant skin you’ve always wanted with minimal pain or downtime. As a minimally invasive treatment, you can get microneedling anywhere on your body.

What happens during microneedling?

A single microneedling treatment typically takes around 10-15 minutes. However, 20-30 minutes before the treatment, your provider uses a topical anesthetic to numb your skin for a more comfortable experience.

Next, your provider uses a microneedling device to create tiny punctures in the surface layer of your skin. Depending on your skin type and goals, they may increase the depth of the micro-wounds for maximum benefits.


How does PRP increase the benefits of microneedling?

The best way to get the most out of your microneedling treatment is to combine it with a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy treatment. PRP is a substance in your blood that’s rich with growth factors.

When applied to or injected into the skin, PRP stimulates collagen production to promote healing in your skin.

Your provider uses the PRP in your blood for these treatments. They first draw your blood before running it through a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. Then, they apply it to your skin after microneedling.


How many microneedling treatments do I need?

For the best results, Alure Wellness recommends at least 3-5 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Microneedling requires very little downtime, so you can return to your regular activities after treatment. Over the coming weeks and months, your skin should look tighter, firmer, and clearer.

Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and pigments. To learn more, call Alure Wellness, or schedule an appointment online today.
