Microneedling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, precise needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin — the proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

Microneedling can improve many common skin issues, including:

• Fine lines
• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven texture
• Stretch marks
• Mild skin laxity

Because microneedling promotes natural renewal rather than relying on chemicals or heat, it’s safe for most skin types and gentler than many other aesthetic procedures.

How does microneedling work?

During treatment, a specialized device with ultra-thin needles glides across your skin, creating microchannels that trigger new collagen production. Joshua applies a topical numbing cream beforehand to keep you comfortable.

Most patients describe the sensation as light pressure or mild scratching. Afterward, your skin may be slightly red (similar to a sunburn); however, this usually resolves within 24–48 hours.

What is microneedling with PRP?

Microneedling can be enhanced by adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP), often called a collagen-boosting upgrade.

After drawing and processing your blood, Joshua applies the PRP to your skin during or immediately after microneedling. The microchannels created by the device allow the growth factors in PRP to penetrate deeper layers, intensifying collagen production and speeding up healing.

This combination is especially effective for stubborn acne scars, fine lines, dull skin, and overall rejuvenation.

What results can I expect?

Most patients notice brighter, smoother skin within a couple of days, with continued improvement over the next few weeks as collagen continues to build.

A series of treatments spaced around 4–6 weeks apart provides the best results, especially for deeper lines. When paired with PRP, results often appear faster and look even more refined.

Is microneedling safe?

Microneedling is considered safe in the hands of trained professionals. Temporary redness, mild swelling, or tightness are normal, but these effects fade quickly.

You’ll receive simple aftercare instructions, such as avoiding makeup for 24 hours and protecting your skin from the sun. Joshua may also recommend soothing or hydrating products to support healing.

Because the treatment doesn’t involve harsh chemicals, it’s a good option for patients seeking natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
