Microneedling has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its effectiveness in treating various skin concerns. It is know for the minimal downtime, and its versatility across different skin types and tones.
As more people seek non-invasive alternatives to traditional cosmetic procedures, microneedling offers a safe and customizable option for achieving smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
Westside Aesthetics, located in Los Angeles, offers professional microneedling treatments tailored to individual needs. With packages of 3 sessions available, patients can experience enhanced results over time. These packages include a variety of options, such as microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), microneedling with exosomes, and microneedling with topical Sculptra application.
What is Microneedling and how does it work?
Microneedling is a gentle procedure that helps the skin heal naturally, leaving you with a refreshed and improved look. During microneedling, a specialized device with fine needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. Tiny injuries on the skin cause the body to start healing itself. This process helps create new collagen and elastin fibers, which are important for keeping skin firm, elastic, and youthful.
The micro-injuries created by the microneedling device prompt the skin to enter a state of repair. As the body perceives the micro-injuries, it activates various cellular mechanisms to initiate tissue regeneration.
Fibroblasts, specialized cells responsible for collagen production, are recruited to the site of injury. These fibroblasts begin synthesizing new collagen and elastin fibers to repair the damaged tissue. Additionally, the microchannels created by the needles allow for better penetration and absorption of topical serums or growth factors, further enhancing the skin’s rejuvenation process.
Over time, the increased production of collagen and elastin fibers leads to significant improvements in the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. The newly formed collagen helps to plump and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other imperfections. By harnessing the skin’s natural healing abilities, microneedling offers a safe and effective solution for individuals seeking to address various skin concerns and achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion.
When used in combination with PRP, Exosomes or Sculptra, Microneedling is even more effective. Topical application of the PRP, exosomes and Sculptra after Microneedling permits the growth factors to access the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing the effects of collagen growth and cell turnover.
Microneedling with PRP: How is it different?
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a cosmetic procedure that combines two techniques to rejuvenate the skin. Here’s how it works:
As we know, microneedling involves the use of a device with fine needles that create tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, boosting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Microneedling can improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and hyperpigmentation.
The addition of PRP Therapy helps take the Platelet-Rich Plasma to a whole different level. PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood. It is processed to isolate the plasma, which contains a high concentration of platelets. Platelets are rich in growth factors and other bioactive substances that promote tissue repair, cell growth, and collagen production.
PRP is then applied topically to enhance the healing and rejuvenating effects of microneedling.
When combined, microneedling with PRP can enhance the results of both treatments. The micro-injuries created by microneedling allow for better absorption of the PRP into the skin, maximizing its benefits. This combination therapy can result in improved skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, as well as enhanced collagen production and skin regeneration.
It’s often used for facial rejuvenation, but it can also be applied to other areas of the body, such as the neck, chest, and hands. A “PRP facial” with Microneedling provides your skin with a wonderful youthful glow with minimal downtime, as the PRP actually speeds the healing process.
Microneedling with Exosomes: the newest trend in the beauty industry
Exosomes are small vesicles released by cells, including stem cells, that contain a variety of growth factors, cytokines, and other signaling molecules. Exosomes derived from stem cells or other sources are often used in regenerative medicine and cosmetic procedures for their ability to promote tissue regeneration and rejuvenation.
When combined with microneedling, exosomes can enhance the effects of the treatment by delivering a potent cocktail of growth factors and other regenerative substances directly into the skin. The micro-injuries created by microneedling allow for better penetration and absorption of the exosomes, maximizing their benefits.
Microneedling with exosomes is a modern way to rejuvenate the skin. It is commonly used for facial rejuvenation but can also be used on other parts of the body if necessary. It offers a non-surgical option for individuals seeking to address signs of aging and improve the overall health and appearance of their skin.
MICRONEEDLING WITH SCULPTRA: what you need to know
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable filler composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic material. Sculptra stimulates the production of collagen, helping to restore volume and improve skin texture over time. It is commonly used to treat facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines, as well as to enhance facial contours and restore youthful facial proportions.
When combined with microneedling, Sculptra can enhance the effects of the treatment by delivering additional collagen-stimulating properties to the skin. The micro-injuries created by microneedling allow for better penetration and distribution of Sculptra, maximizing its volumizing and rejuvenating effects. This combination therapy can result in improved skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, as well as enhanced collagen production and skin regeneration.
