Micro-needling should be a part of everyone’s skincare regimen.
Collagen. It’s what makes us look younger. Adequate collagen makes our pores less noticeable, wrinkles and lines less deep, and our skin tighter and texture smoother. The body’s collagen production starts decreasing in our early to mid-20s. Micro-needling triggers a wound-healing cascade of events, with the end product being more collagen!
Add PRP to the mix and take your results to the next level, and it’s natural!
Micro-needling is a controlled micro-injury to the skin using a high-speed device to quickly and precisely inject tiny needles into the skin. When your body heals from these micro-injuries it stimulates collagen and elastin production, and over the course of 6 weeks, you see tighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin. Serums or platelet-rich plasma may be used to augment results.
Acne scarring, stretch marks, and surgical scars can be treated with microneedling. The needles break down the old scar strands tethering down the surface of the skin. Expect 4-6 sessions about a month apart to effectively improve these conditions.
Why Microneedling? Anything that you can do to aid in collagen banking is beneficial and prevents premature aging. It helps better regulate your skin health, pushing out old damaged cells and making way for new healthy skin cells! Giving you brighter, smoother skin.
Microneedling is boot camp for your face! Microneedling creates thousands of micro-channels that stimulate your body’s natural wound-healing process which rejuvenates your skin from the inside out.

With skincare, there is no such thing as a one-time fix. Maintenance is key.
Your skin is being damaged by the minute. UV damage and pollution cause further collagen breakdown. To keep up with the aging process you need to incorporate professional treatments such as micro-needling or peels at least 3-4 times a year, more often for more dramatic results.
Depending on the treatment you may only be slightly pink to 1-3 days of redness decreasing to a pink, some peeling may happen 2-5 days out. Expect to see visible improvement at the end of the first week. Microneedling is not something you need to take time off for. The after-effects are similar to having a sunburn. You can even apply makeup the next day after the procedure.
Microneedling is worth the hype and buzz, but make sure you have a professional perform the treatment. Some people would argue that micro-needling is better than some lasers in terms of skin rejuvenation. Contact us today at Urban Dragonfly Aesthetics for a free consultation!
