Microneedling at Prejuve Medspa:
So which modality will give you the benefits you’re looking for?
When considering microneedling, it’s important to choose the right modality based on your specific skin or hair concerns. Here are a few things to consider:
- Depth of Needling:
- Superficial Microneedling (0.25-0.5 mm): Ideal for improving skin texture, fine lines, and product absorption.
- Deeper Microneedling (1.5-2.5 mm): More effective for treating scars and stretch marks. Deeper penetration is also used for hair restoration treatments.
- Device Type:
- Dermaroller: A manual device with a rolling mechanism. It’s generally used at home but offers less precision and can be more uncomfortable.
- Dermapen/Microneedling Pens: Automated pens that allow for adjustable needle depths and greater precision. This is the preferred method in professional settings.
- Morpheus8: Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to heat the tissue, which can enhance collagen stimulation. This is particularly effective for more severe wrinkles, scars, and skin tightening.
- Add-Ons:
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Often combined with microneedling to accelerate healing and enhance results. PRP uses your own blood to extract growth factors that promote regeneration.
- Topical Treatments: Vitamin C serums, hyaluronic acid, and other growth factors can be applied immediately after microneedling to maximize their absorption and benefits.
- Treatment Area:
- Face: Focused on skin rejuvenation, treating wrinkles, pigmentation, and scars.
- Scalp: Used for hair loss treatments, often combined with PRP or hair growth serums.
- Body: For stretch marks and surgical scars.
- Skin Type:
- Lighter Skin Tones: This skin type generally tolerates microneedling well, but it’s essential to avoid excessive sun exposure post-treatment.
- Darker Skin Tones: There’s a higher risk of hyperpigmentation, so choosing a provider with experience in treating darker skin is crucial. RF microneedling may be a better option for skin tightening without the same risk of pigmentation issues.
While microneedling is generally safe, it’s important to consider potential side effects such as redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation, scarring, and bleeding. Also, we find clients see microneedling as scary, but we use numbing medicine to help with comfort and most people tolerate it very well. Our experienced providers ensure that each treatment is customized to your skin type and concerns, minimizing risks and maximizing results. We focus on providing safe, effective, and tailored treatments that help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Choosing the right microneedling modality depends on your specific skin or hair concerns, desired outcomes, and skin type. Whether you’re looking for superficial improvements in texture and fine lines, deeper treatments for scars and stretch marks, or advanced skin tightening and wrinkle reduction, Prejuve Medspa offers a range of options to suit your needs. Our team is dedicated to creating a personalized treatment plan, ensuring comfort, safety, and exceptional results.
