Microneedling

| Skin Science

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny punctures, or micro-injuries, on the surface of the skin. These small wounds stimulate the body's natural healing process, which in turn promotes collagen and elastin production—two proteins that are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.
 

The procedure is often used to treat various skin issues,
such as:
●  Fine lines and wrinkles ● Acne scars ● Enlarged pores
● Hyperpigmentation ● Stretch marks
●  General skin texture and tone improvement
 

 After the procedure, the skin may appear red and feel sensitive for a few days as it heals. Over time, as collagen production increases, the skin can appear smoother and more rejuvenated.

PRP - Platelet-Rich Plasma

| Skin Science

A vampire facial, also known as a platelet rich plasma (PRP) facial or vampire facelift, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a patient's own blood to stimulate collagen growth under the skin. The procedure can improve skin texture and tone, reduce wrinkles, and plump skin. It can also be used to contour the cheeks, plump lips, and treat scars.

PRP contains growth factors which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, creating a glowing, smooth, volumized, brightens skin, youthful skin.

The 4 Key Stages of Microneedling Healing Explained

​Understanding the microneedling healing timeline is crucial for setting realistic expectations and ensuring optimal results. Microneedling promotes skin rejuvenation through controlled micro-injuries, triggering a natural healing process that unfolds in four distinct stages

01

Inflammation and Initial Tissue Response
(Day 1-2)

The first stage, known as inflammation and initial tissue response, occurs within the first two days post-treatment. During this phase, your skin exhibits several noticeable symptoms:
 

  • Redness: Immediately after microneedling, expect significant redness akin to a moderate to severe sunburn. This is a normal inflammatory response as your body begins to heal.

  • Swelling: Mild to moderate swelling may occur around the treated areas, which is another sign of your body’s natural defense mechanisms kicking in.

  • Pinpoint Bleeding: Tiny pinpoint bleeding spots are common during the procedure and shortly after, reflecting the micro-injuries created by the needles.
     

Inflammation facilitates the removal of damaged cells and debris while promoting increased blood flow to deliver essential nutrients needed for repair. During this stage, it’s vital to:
 

  • Avoid sun exposure

  • Refrain from using harsh skincare products

  • Keep your skin moisturized and protected
     

These steps help mitigate adverse reactions and support the skin’s initial recovery.

02

Proliferation and New Collagen Formation
(Day 3-10)

During the proliferation stage of the microneedling healing timeline, you may notice several changes in your skin. The initial redness and sensitivity start to subside, indicating the beginning of the healing process. However, it’s not uncommon to experience some flaking or peeling as your skin renews itself.
 

Symptoms During the Proliferation Stage:
 

  • Subsiding redness

  • Sensitivity

  • Potential flaking or peeling
     

A key feature of this phase is the formation of new collagen. Microneedling stimulates the body to produce collagen, a vital protein that aids in skin repair and regeneration. This collagen formation helps to improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance as part of the stages of microneedling healing.

The Role of Collagen in the Healing Journey:
 

Collagen plays a pivotal role in strengthening skin structure, reducing fine lines, and minimizing scars.
 

Another essential aspect during this phase is healthy epithelial cell migration. The tiny micro-injuries caused by microneedling encourage these cells to move to the surface, promoting faster healing and contributing to a more radiant complexion.
 

Promoting Healthy Epithelial Cell Migration Through Microneedling:
 

  • Encourages quicker wound healing

  • Enhances skin renewal

  • Contributes to improved skin texture
     

Understanding this stage in the microneedling healing process allows you to better manage expectations and care for your skin appropriately during these crucial days. Keeping your skin hydrated and avoiding harsh products can help optimize these benefits.

03

Remodeling and Maturation of Skin Tissue
(Day 11-14)

During the remodeling stage of the microneedling healing timeline, you may notice mild redness or discoloration. This period is crucial for achieving optimal skin maturation. The body’s natural healing mechanisms are in full swing, working to strengthen and refine the new tissue formed during the earlier stages.
 

Characteristics of the Remodeling Stage:
 

  • Mild Redness or Discoloration: It is common to observe some lingering redness or slight discoloration as your skin continues to heal.

  • Skin Texture Improvement: The structural integrity of your skin improves, resulting in a smoother texture.
     

To promote optimal skin maturation after microneedling:
 

  1. Hydration: Keeping your skin well-hydrated is essential. Use a gentle moisturizer to support the healing process.

  2. Sun Protection: Shield your skin from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

  3. Gentle Care: Avoid harsh skincare products and treatments that might irritate sensitive areas.
     

Understanding these stages of microneedling healing helps you manage expectations and optimize your recovery process. Proper aftercare ensures a smooth transition into the next phase of sustained improvement and long-term results.

04

Sustained Improvement and Long-Term Results
(Weeks 2-4)

During weeks 2 to 4, you’ll start seeing the sustained improvement phase of the microneedling healing timeline. This is when you’ll notice significant changes in your skin texture and appearance, thanks to the continuous production of collagen and elastin triggered by the treatment.
 

What to Expect During This Phase
 

Here are some key things you can expect during this phase:

 

  1. Enhanced Skin Texture: Your skin will feel smoother and more refined as a result of the microneedling process promoting new cell turnover.

  2. Improved Skin Appearance: Any remaining redness or discoloration will gradually fade away, giving way to a more even-toned and radiant complexion.

  3. Long-Term Effects of Microneedling: With consistent aftercare, you may experience long-lasting benefits such as reduced fine lines, diminished acne scars, and an overall rejuvenated look.

How to Maintain These Benefits

To make sure you maintain these benefits in the long run, it’s important to continue taking care of your skin even after the initial healing period. Here are two crucial steps:
 

  1. Hydration: Keeping your skin well-moisturized supports the healing process and helps maintain its newfound smoothness.

  2. Sun Protection: UV rays can damage your skin cells and undo the positive effects of microneedling. That’s why it’s essential to keep using sunscreen daily and protect your skin from sun exposure.


Understanding these stages of microneedling healing can help you manage expectations and take proactive steps to optimize your results.
