Microneedling
Microneedling
Microneedling works by way of a controlled injury. A sterile microneedling system moves fine needles across the skin, creating thousands of microscopic channels that set off your own repair response and prompt fresh collagen and elastin.
Adding PRP takes that further. We draw a small amount of your blood, separate the platelet-rich portion, and layer it into those open channels, where its growth factors speed cell turnover and sharpen tone and texture.
The treatment suits acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, sun damage, and stretch marks, and works on the face, neck, and décolleté. Most people book a series of at least three, then hold results with one or two visits a year.
Questions About Microneedling
What areas can be treated with microneedling?
Almost anywhere, depending on your goals. The face, neck, and décolleté are the most common, and it works well over scarring and stretch marks.
How is microneedling performed?
With a sterile single-use needle tip on a handheld microneedling system, paired with either a hyaluronic acid serum or your own PRP, depending on what your skin needs.
Does microneedling hurt?
Not much. The needles are microscopic and most clients describe a vibration. Numbing cream goes on 30 to 45 minutes beforehand.
When do I begin to see results?
Most clients notice a tightening, glowing effect and more even tone one to two weeks after the first session. Collagen keeps building for four to six months.
Is there any downtime? Side effects?
Expect redness for 24 to 48 hours, and skin that feels dry and taut for a day or two. A hydrating cream handles it.
How do I prepare for the procedure?
Stop blood thinners, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic and salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, and retinols one week before, and skip alcohol for the 24 hours prior.
Toskani
Toskani solutions are made for exactly this kind of delivery. They are formulated in a lab rather than drawn from your body, so the same blend of biomimetic peptides, vitamins, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid goes on every visit.
Once the microchannels are open, those ingredients travel past the surface and talk directly to the cells that do the repairing: fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, and the matrix around them. Moisturizing sits on top and stops there.
On skin, that shows up as smoother texture, smaller-looking pores, better elasticity and hydration, and gradual change in fine lines and acne scarring. Formulas are matched to your skin rather than picked off a shelf.
Questions About Toskani
How do Toskani peptides work?
Once microneedling opens the channels, the peptides reach deeper and signal fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and the surrounding matrix to repair, rather than sitting on the surface as a moisturizer would.
What are the benefits for skin rejuvenation?
Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, texture, elasticity, hydration, and firmness all tend to improve, along with overall skin quality.
How many sessions are typically required?
Usually three to six, spaced four to six weeks apart, with maintenance every three to six months. The protocol depends on the formula and your skin.
When will I see results?
Hydration shows within days and texture around two to four weeks. Collagen remodeling lands at eight to twelve weeks, and skin keeps improving for up to six months.
Can I wear makeup afterward?
Usually after 24 hours on the face. You can wash with a gentle cleanser at 12 to 24 hours, following the post-care instructions you are given.
Can I exercise or go in the sun?
Skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours and direct sun for at least 48. Once your skin is ready, use SPF 30 or higher and stay in a hat or shade while it heals.
PDGF
PDGF stands for platelet-derived growth factor, one of the signaling proteins your body leans on to knit tissue back together. Here it arrives as a purified serum, so nothing is drawn from you.
Applied through the same microchannels, it signals cells to multiply and move into the area that needs work, which reads as firmer collagen, a stronger barrier, calmer skin, and quicker recovery.
It is also concentrated well past what your own blood can offer. The manufacturer reports up to 300,000 times the PDGF found in platelet-rich plasma, and because it is made to a set strength it performs the same way visit after visit. That suits clients who want growth factor therapy without the variability of blood-based options.
Questions About PDGF
What is PDGF?
Platelet-derived growth factor, a signaling protein central to how tissue repairs itself. Here it comes as a purified topical serum, so there is no blood draw.
How is it different from PRP?
PRP comes from you, so its strength varies. PDGF is made to a set concentration, which keeps each treatment predictable and takes the blood draw out of the visit.
What does it help with?
Collagen production, skin firmness, tone and texture, barrier strength, and inflammation, along with faster recovery after microneedling.
How many sessions will I need?
Most plans run a short series alongside microneedling, spaced several weeks apart, then maintenance as needed. We set the number at your consultation.
Is there downtime?
About the same as microneedling on its own, meaning redness for a day or two. Leave the skin unwashed for the first 24 hours.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It layers into a microneedling session and sits comfortably alongside Toskani, peels, or Tox, as long as the timing is planned.
