Microneedling with MDPen

Learn how this procedure creates the natural production of collagen and elastin in your skin.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled injury in your skin and trigger collagen and elastin production as part of your body’s natural healing process. Microneedling can produce dramatic improvements in your skin without surgery or downtime.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

Microneedling is often applied to your face, neck, hands, décolleté, abdomen, arms, legs, or other areas of your body with skin imperfections. The technique can produce the following aesthetic benefits:

  • Diminished skin pigmentation
  • Improved skin thickness
  • Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enhanced collagen and elastin production
  • Improved skin texture
  • Refreshed skin
  • Reduced acne scars
  • Fewer stretch marks

Microneedling is an excellent alternative to plastic surgery and other invasive aesthetic procedures when you want to improve your skin’s appearance and reduce unwelcome signs of aging.

What is PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is the part of your blood that contains a more concentrated source of platelets, which enhances your body’s natural healing abilities.

Your aesthetic specialist can use PRP with microneedling to optimize anti-aging results. To isolate PRP, we take a sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge, and apply it to your skin.

What should I expect during microneedling?

To determine if you’re a good candidate for microneedling, your Selah MediSpa specialist will review your medical history and examine your skin. We use lidocaine gel to numb your skin prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort, as the treatment involves a handheld device which creates tiny microtears in the skin.

As an add-on service, we can use PRP with microneedling to allow the additional platelet-rich plasma to penetrate deep within skin layers to further enhance collagen and elastin production. The length of time your procedure takes depends on the size of the treatment area.

What happens after the procedure?

After microneedling sessions, expect to experience some swelling and redness for up to five days. You may also notice some tightness, burning, and mild flaking.

A noticeable improvement in your skin’s texture and overall appearance occurs within several weeks. Your provider might recommend a series of 3-6 treatments to achieve the most desirable outcome, and yearly maintenance sessions after that.
