intro

Microneedling

Microneedling, or microneedling, is a minimally invasive medical-aesthetic procedure that naturally stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Through multiple micro-perforations in the skin, carried out with a device with sterile microneedles, skin regeneration and the optimal absorption of active substances with specific properties for each case are promoted.

This treatment is often combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or revitalizing serums, enhancing their effects. When associated with capillary PRP, it enhances the results of the plasma itself, increasing the effectiveness of the protocol.

Indications

How does the procedure work?

The Microneedling procedure consists of the controlled passage of a device with microneedles over the skin, creating microchannels that trigger a natural regeneration process. This stimulation promotes the production of collagen and elastin, improving the firmness, texture and uniformity of the skin. In addition, it increases the absorption of the active ingredients applied during the treatment, enhancing the results obtained. During or after microneedling, substances such as vitamins, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants or PRP can be applied for a deeper regenerating action.

 

The session lasts an average of 30 to 40 minutes, ensuring the patient’s comfort. The number of sessions varies depending on the clinical indication and the desired goals, and a plan of 3 to 5 initial sessions is usually recommended.

Results

Faqs

Microneedling stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, attenuating acne scars, blemishes, enlarged pores, fine wrinkles and even stretch marks. The results include a more even, firmer and luminous skin, with progressive improvement throughout the sessions.

Yes, Microneedling can be performed on most skin types, including oily, combination, acne-prone or aging skin. However, a prior diagnosis is necessary to assess skin sensitivity, the presence of infections or active dermatological diseases.

Yes, Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration mechanisms without permanently altering its structure. The process is biological and progressive, and does not cause definitive changes.

Microneedling uses a device with microneedles to create microchannels in the skin and stimulate collagen production. Mesotherapy, on the other hand  , consists of the direct application of active substances through microinjections. Although both can improve firmness and skin tension, the mechanisms of action are different and the choice depends on the clinical goal.

Microneedling is generally well tolerated, and may cause only mild discomfort.

Yes, it is a safe procedure when performed by qualified professionals. The most common side effects are redness, a feeling of heat or slight swelling, which disappear within 24 to 72 hours. Infections are rare when hygiene and asepsis standards are respected.

Microneedling is contraindicated in cases of pregnancy, breastfeeding, severe active acne, rosacea in the inflammatory phase, open wounds, skin infections, autoimmune diseases, coagulation disorders or the use of anticoagulant medications. Clinical evaluation is essential before starting any protocol.

Some improvements can be noticed right after the first session, such as more luminosity and better texture. However, the most significant results come between 2 to 4 weeks, as the cell regeneration process develops.

Yes, Microneedling can be combined with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), mesotherapy, gentle peels or revitalizing products, which enhances the absorption of active ingredients and improves results. In the case of hair PRP, Microneedling acts as an ideal complement, facilitating plasma penetration and stimulating the scalp’s regenerative response. The ideal combination should be defined by a professional, depending on the goals and the condition of the skin or scalp.

Within 48 hours of treatment, you should:

  •     Avoid direct sun exposure
  •     Not wearing make-up on the first day
  •     Do not apply products with acids or retinol
  •     Avoid swimming pools, sauna and intense physical exercise
