What is Micro-Needling?
Micro-needling has long been used in the aesthetics industry to gently rejuvenate skin without surgery or downtime. At Glow Medispa, we utilize an automated, pen-like micro-needling tool with multiple tiny needles in a sterile, single-use tip for increased patient safety. This treatment can target multiple skin imperfections, such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged pores
- And more!
Not all skin imperfections respond to this treatment. The best way to find out if micro-needling is right for you is to schedule a consultation at our Seattle or Kirkland office.
How Does Micro-Needling Work?
As the micro-needling device is moved over treated areas, the needles penetrate below the surface to a specific depth, creating microchannels through the epidermis into the dermis where all of the collagen and elastin is. Growth factors from your own blood (PRP) or from a serum are used topically during microneedling, so that the growth factors travel through the channels into the dermis. This process stimulates the production of new collagen, which creates tighter, smoother skin over time. Micro-needling also gently exfoliates and opens up the skin, allowing for better penetration of beneficial products such as growth factors.
Micro-Needling with Growth Factors
Many spas offering micro-needling merely use hyaluronic acid as a glide. At Glow we always use growth factors with micro-needling to enhance results. This growth factor serum absorbs below the skin surface, stimulates collagen production and aids in the skin healing process. Growth factors can help aid in improving circulation below the surface, restoring a youthful glow to the skin. While micro-needling is a safe and effective standalone treatment, growth factors can help enhance results.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM)
The big advantage of undergoing a blood draw for this procedure is to use the natural growth factors circulating in your own blood. The magic of PRP and PRFM is that it can be reinjected into the skin to produce a more robust result than with micro-needling alone. We can use these products to rejuvenate any part of the face, but we especially like it for the under-eye area. Because PRP and PRFM are triggering collagen production, the results are much longer-lasting that that of fillers.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Micro-needling is a popular aesthetic treatment due to its ability to target skin imperfections at the source with minimal risk of complications. Most patients are able to return to normal activities with only slight flushing or reddening of the skin, which typically fades within a few days. Dr. Dee, Dr Otto and our medical team will let you know what you can expect as well as if multiple sessions may be necessary to create the best results for your condition.
