Want smoother, firmer skin? Look no further than microneedling, one of the most innovative and game-changing treatments on the market. No more gatekeeping. Here’s what you need to know about microneedling and the treatments that pair perfectly with it so you can experience a one-stop skin rejuvenation this summer.
Microneedling works by creating micro-injuries to the skin, triggering a healing response in the body that stimulates elastin and collagen production. These essential proteins are responsible for the skin’s strength, elasticity, and overall youthful appearance.
Still, these benefits only scratch the surface. In addition to triggering new collagen growth, microneedling can also treat uneven texture, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. The breadth of its abilities is one of the core reasons this treatment is so popular in medical aesthetics. Another reason is its versatility. Microneedling can be performed on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
The treatment is safe and suitable for most skin types and colors with minimal downtime, making it a great treatment to add to other classics. These are our top four:
Chemical Peel
On its own, Chemical Peels are powerful exfoliating tools, removing the outermost layer of skin to treat texture concerns and trigger cell signaling. While chemical peels are effective on their own, they are further enhanced when paired with the benefits of microneedling.
A knockout duo, combining microneedling with a chemical peel is sure to address your skin concern. The powerful combination enhances exfoliation, improves skin texture, and addresses concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne, and sun damage.
HydraFacial
If you’re looking for skin like butter, HydraFacial is for you. The 3-step, 30-minute facial on its own penetrates the skin and provides intense hydration — done after microneedling, it’s even more effective.
This is because microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, which can improve the absorption of topical serums used during HydraFacial for maximum plumpness and improved hydration, texture, and overall look.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Here at Coastal Dermatology + Aesthetics, we proudly offer a thoughtful and restorative approach to anti-aging. Our goals are to align with yours – to maintain self-confidence and preserve your natural beauty. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an effective and all-natural treatment we provide for those who wish to maintain a youthful and radiant look.
In restorative aesthetics, PRF may be utilized to enhance the outcomes of procedures such as dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation, and hair restoration. PRF is the second generation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and offers even greater results than its predecessor. In comparison to PRP, PRF contains a higher concentration of white blood cells, fibrin, and a small number of stem cells. The PRF is extracted and then immediately injected into the desired areas, such as the face or scalp. The growth factors and other bioactive substances present in PRF can potentially stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and elasticity, and promote tissue regeneration, leading to improved aesthetic results.
Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency (RF) treatments use energy waves to heat the deep layers of the skin and tighten the skin.
When traditional microneedling is paired with RF, like with Potenza, the results of both standalone treatments are amplified, particularly for concerns like sagging skin and wrinkles.
Whether you’re looking to stick with the classic microneedling or make a day of it, this is your sign to book an appointment today for glowing skin you’ll want to show off: (805) 544-5567.
