Microneedling typically uses needles that penetrate the skin to a depth of 2-3mm. The sterilized needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. Suitable for most skin types, microneedling is a natural approach to skin rejuvenation that requires minimal downtime and delivers long-lasting results with a series of sessions.

Microneedling is a highly effective treatment for individuals seeking to enhance the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, as well as those with scarring or uneven skin texture. Some specific examples of people who may benefit include:

• Individuals with fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, or chest
• People with acne scars or other types of scarring
• Those with uneven skin texture or tone
• Anyone looking to achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance and improve the overall health of their skin. 

Here's a step-by-step overview:

1. Preparation: The skin is cleansed thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort during the procedure.
2. Microneedling Process: Once the numbing takes effect, the practitioner gently glides the microneedling device over the skin, creating tiny punctures at a controlled depth. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, prompting the production of collagen and elastin.
3. Aftercare Serum: Following the treatment, a soothing serum or growth factor is typically applied to enhance healing and further stimulate skin rejuvenation. The micro-channels created by the needles allow the skin to absorb these products more effectively.

Here’s how it works:

1. Preparation: The procedure begins with a small blood draw from the client, usually from the arm. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is rich in growth factors that aid in tissue repair and cell regeneration. Meanwhile, the skin is cleansed and a numbing cream is applied for comfort.
2. Microneedling Process: A microneedling device equipped with fine needles is gently rolled over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels not only stimulate collagen production but also serve as pathways for the PRP to penetrate deeply into the skin.
3. PRP Application: Once microneedling is complete, the PRP is applied to the treated areas. Thanks to the micro-channels created during microneedling, the PRP can absorb more effectively into the skin, enhancing its regenerative effects. PRP is known to accelerate healing, promote the growth of new cells, and improve skin texture and tone.

Redness and mild swelling are common immediately following the treatment, resembling a sunburn, and typically subside within 1-2 days. Skin may feel slightly tight or sensitive, but these effects subside quickly. There is minimal downtime, and most clients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.

Over the course of several weeks, as collagen and elastin production increases, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal results, particularly for treating deeper wrinkles, scars, or stretch marks.

Microneedling treatments can typically be performed every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin type, concerns, and the depth of the treatment. This allows the skin enough time to heal and produce new collagen between sessions.

For most people, a series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended for optimal results, especially if you're targeting specific concerns like acne scars or deep wrinkles. After achieving the desired results, maintenance sessions can be done every 6 to 12 months to preserve the skin’s improvements. Always consult with your skincare provider to create a personalized treatment schedule.
