Microneedling
What Is Microneedling?
Think of microneedling as a wake-up call for your skin — not a harsh one, but a gentle, intentional nudge that gets things moving again beneath the surface.
Using ultra-fine needles, the treatment creates tiny micro-channels in the skin. Your body reads these as minor injuries and immediately goes to work repairing them — producing fresh collagen and elastin in the process. That’s where the magic happens. Not from the outside in, but from the inside out.
The result is skin that gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone. Not an overnight transformation, but the kind of improvement that builds quietly and stays.
We use SkinPen® — an FDA-cleared microneedling device — paired with a signature serum that gets drawn deep into those freshly opened channels. It’s a detail that makes a real difference in what your skin absorbs and how it responds.
Microneedling + PRP: When Your Skin Gets to Heal Itself
If regular microneedling is a wake-up call, adding PRP is like handing your skin everything it needs to rebuild even better.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is made from a small sample of your own blood — drawn, spun in a centrifuge, and concentrated into a solution that contains 4 to 8 times the growth factors your blood naturally carries. Applied directly during your microneedling session, it travels right through those open micro-channels and gets to work — accelerating healing, boosting collagen production, and giving your skin a clarity and glow that’s hard to get any other way.
No foreign substances. No guesswork. Just your body’s own biology, working at its best.
Benefits of Microneedling
1. Your skin stops stalling and starts healing. Microneedling doesn’t cover up what’s bothering you — it activates the repair process your skin is already capable of, and lets it run.
2. Those stubborn scars and rough patches finally budge. Acne scars, uneven texture, and discoloration are notoriously hard to shift with topicals alone. Microneedling works at the level where that damage actually lives — and over a series of sessions, you’ll see real softening and smoothing.
3. Everything you put on your skin works harder. Those micro-channels don’t close immediately — which means your serums and post-treatment products absorb more deeply than they ever would on their own. Your skincare routine gets a serious upgrade just by showing up.
4. The results keep coming, even after you leave. Collagen production doesn’t stop when your appointment ends. Your skin continues improving for weeks afterward — which means the best version of your results often shows up a month later, not the next morning.
5. Real improvement without real downtime. A day or two of mild pinkness, and you’re back to everything. No surgery, no recovery week, no dramatic before-and-after window — just steady, visible progress that fits into your actual life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a nonsurgical and minimally invasive skin revitalization therapy. The technique creates small channels in the skin, causing tiny painless injuries. These channels stimulate elastin and collagen production to help tighten and lift your skin.
What does microneedling treat?
Microneedling helps address many skin-related issues, including:
- Wrinkles
- Scarring
- Stretch marks
- Rosacea
- Acne
- Skin pigmentation
- Loose skin
At The MD Aesthetic, the team consults with you to learn your aesthetic goals. Once decided, you can look forward to microneedling for skin revitalization and the complexion you desire.
What can I expect during a microneedling procedure?
Before your procedure begins, your esthetician applies a numbing cream to your face to minimize any discomfort during your treatment. Then, they clean your skin and start the procedure using their signature serum to deliver potent ingredients deep into the microchannels of your skin.
Microneedling puts tiny punctures into your skin to stimulate your body to produce new skin cells and prompt collagen growth. The needles break up pigmentation, damaged skin cells, and scar tissue. The damaged tissues then shed naturally or reabsorb harmlessly into your body.
After your procedure, your provider discusses after-care for your skin. It takes about 2-4 days for your skin to recover and a full week to see results.
What are the benefits of combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy?
PRP is a newer treatment for managing many skin conditions and injuries. Your provider obtains PRP by taking a small amount of your blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate your platelets — growth factors that contain 4-8 times the concentration of your blood.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be used topically or injected during microneedling treatments to soften wrinkles and brighten skin. It can also be injected into your scalp to stimulate hair growth or into your joints to naturally stimulate repair and healing.
The MD Aesthetics uses it topically to improve the effectiveness of microneedling. It helps naturally increase collagen production to enhance the quality of your skin and texture, making it appear glowing and youthful.
