• Do you have fine lines and wrinkles?
• Has acne left you with scars that never went away?
• Does your skin appear dull or even sallow?

• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
• Fading or elimination of scarring.
• A hydrated, youthful glow.
• Minimized pores and an even surface.
• MicroNeedling and PRFM also offer a solution for stretch marks!

• MicroNeedling is based on collagen induction therapy, which means it causes microscopic damage to your skin which stimulates it to naturally produce new replacement collagen.
• The controlled damage to the skin causes your body to produce new collagen and elastin.
• As the body’s healing processes are stimulated, your skin becomes firmer and smoother and even long-term blemishes like acne scarring will fade.
• For best results, most patients require a series of 3-6 MicroNeedling treatments.

• The PRFM procedure – platelet-rich fibrin matrix – involves drawing your blood and centrifuging it so that the plasma with platelets separates and collects in the tube. This plasma is rich in growth factors and cytokines from your own drawn blood.
• During and immediately after MicroNeedling the treatment area, the highly concentrated plasma is massaged onto your skin where it releases the growth factors and stimulates the body’s healing and tissue regeneration processes.

• To begin a combined MicroNeedling and PRFM treatment, we draw a small tube of your blood.
• Next, we spin your blood in our centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) from the rest of the blood.
• While the centrifugation takes place, we begin the Micro-Needling treatment, which makes microscopic penetrations in your skin, preparing it to receive the benefits of your own PRFM.
• The centrifugated PRP is then massaged into your skin so that the proteins and growth factors are readily absorbed.
• By combining these treatments, significant healing, collagen and elastin production, and tissue production and growth are stimulated, leaving you with smoother, youthful skin over time.
• Based on the needs of your skin, a series of 3-6 treatments may be recommended.

• MicroNeedling utilizes fine needles to puncture the top layers of your skin. To maintain patient comfort during the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied 30 minutes prior to the procedure.
• Treated areas will likely appear red like a sunburn, and some swelling will occur for a few days.
• Following treatment, you may return to normal activities immediately, although some medical grade skin care products and sun exposure should be avoided for 2 weeks.

• When you complete the recommended series of MicroNeedling treatments, your skin will appear permanently smoother with a reduction in winkles, fine lines, and scarring or blemishes. Additional treatments may be performed as desired to boost collagen production.
• Results from PRP will fade over time, and a touchup is typically needed every year or two.

• Your treatment plan will depend on the starting condition of your skin and the results you hope to achieve.
• Particularly when considering MicroNeedling for acne and other scarring, a series of treatments will be needed.
• Treatments are performed 1 month apart.
• A personal consultation is needed to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
• At Radiance, consultations are always complimentary.

MicroNeedling offers one of the best permanent solutions to acne scars because it damages the outer layers of the skin to promote production of collagen, elastin, and new tissue. Typically, a series of 3-6 treatments is needed to produce results, however, you will likely notice improvement from the first visit.

The benefits to the skin’s appearance provided by MicroNeedling and PRFM can be even more dramatic when the treatments are combined with other treatments, such as Juvéderm dermal fillers or BOTOX®. While MicroNeedling and PRP work to smooth the skin’s appearance and tackle fine lines and wrinkles, injectables can aid with other issues like deep lines, jowls, and loss of facial volume. Our experts will work with you to create an overall treatment plan that will work like a non-surgical facelift.

What’s more, because of its ability to speed healing, PRFM provides an excellent addition to IPL and laser resurfacing treatments because it pumps the body with proteins and growth factors.

While the blemish and acne-reducing benefits of MicroNeedling are permanent, time and gravity will continue to work on your skin. Most patients desire a touchup every one to two years, similar to the timeframe of today’s long-lasting dermal fillers.
