What is microneedling and how does it work?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

What is microneedling with PRP?

Microneedling with PRP combines traditional microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is derived from a small sample of your own blood. PRP contains growth factors that may enhance the skin’s healing response and support collagen stimulation.

What skin concerns can microneedling and microneedling with PRP treat?

These treatments are commonly used to address fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, mild skin laxity, and overall skin quality. PRP may provide additional support for skin rejuvenation in some patients.

How many treatments are needed?

Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on skin concerns, treatment goals, and individual response.

Is microneedling with PRP better than microneedling alone?

Microneedling with PRP may enhance results for certain patients, particularly those seeking more advanced skin rejuvenation. A consultation can help determine whether microneedling alone or microneedling with PRP is more appropriate.

Is microneedling painful?

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to improve comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or vibration.

What is the downtime after treatment?

Redness, sensitivity, and mild swelling are common and typically resolve within 24–72 hours. Downtime may vary slightly with PRP due to individual healing responses.

Is microneedling with PRP safe?

Microneedling with PRP is generally considered safe when performed by a trained medical provider using sterile technique. PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reaction.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Microneedling is often combined with other aesthetic treatments such as neurotoxins, dermal fillers, or skin care regimens as part of a comprehensive plan.

Who is a good candidate for microneedling or microneedling with PRP?

Candidates typically include individuals looking to improve skin texture, scarring, or signs of aging. A consultation is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Microneedling For Skin Rejuvenation and Scar Treatment

Q: When will I see results?

Some improvement may be noticeable within a few weeks, with continued improvements developing over time as collagen production increases.

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This minimally invasive treatment improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks, and enhances the absorption of skincare products, offering a smoother, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.

Scarring

The treatment can significantly improve the texture and appearance of acne scars by promoting new skin growth and collagen formation.

Stretch Marks

Microneedling helps diminish stretch marks by encouraging the skin to regenerate and repair itself.

Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage

It can reduce dark spots and even out skin tone by accelerating the turnover of pigmented cells.

Large Pores

The procedure can make pores appear smaller by plumping up the surrounding skin and improving its texture.

Overall Skin Texture and Tone

Regular microneedling treatments can enhance the overall texture and tone of the skin, making it look more youthful and radiant.

Aimee

feel like I hit the jackpot and you will, too!

I did a basic online search for microneedling service with PRP. Although I've had a variety of aesthetic procedures (including microneedling sans PRP) over the past 5+ years, this was going to be new. After reviewing multiple websites and reading review after review, I chose Evercare. And I am so grateful I did! Chrissy is a true gem: responsive, professional, so darn knowledgeable!, thorough, reasonable, caring and passionate - about her work, your comfort and results. I went to my appointment with a casual mindset and zero expectation. I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by Chrissy. And one week later, I can honestly say: I already see the benefits brewing. I can't wait to continue my skin care journey...especially with Evercare Wellness & Aesthetics in my arsenal ;)

Jessica

Highly recommend Evercare Wellness & Aesthetics! Chrissy is extremely knowledgeable, personable, attentive and my skin looks amazing! I had the best microneedling treatment and my husband had botox done. We both had such an amazing experience and we will be coming back. :)

Microneedling Aftercare: What To Do & What To Avoid After Your Treatment

Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, acne scars, and boosting collagen. If you’ve just had microneedling at Evercare Wellness & Aesthetics, or you’re considering booking, it’s important to follow the right aftercare steps to maximize your results and keep your skin healthy.

Here’s your easy-to-follow microneedling aftercare guide, including what you should and shouldn’t do post-treatment:

✅ Microneedling Aftercare – DO:

• Wash your face with a gentle cleanser

Stick with a fragrance-free, non-exfoliating cleanser for the first few days to avoid irritation.

• Apply a moisturizer daily

Hydration is key after microneedling. Use a calming, non-comedogenic moisturizer to support healing.

• Wear sunblock daily

Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun. Apply SPF 30+ every morning—rain or shine!

• Avoid direct sunlight

Try to stay indoors or wear a wide-brim hat and sunglasses when outside to protect your healing skin.

• Increase your water intake

Staying well-hydrated promotes faster healing and glowing, healthy skin from the inside out.

❌ Microneedling Aftercare – DON’T:

• Don’t use liquid makeup for at least 4 days

Allow your skin to breathe and avoid clogging your pores with foundation or concealer.

• Avoid exercise for 72 hours

Sweating can lead to irritation or breakouts. Skip the gym and intense activity for a few days.

• No swimming, saunas, or jacuzzis

For at least 72 hours, avoid any activity that may expose your skin to heat, chlorine, or bacteria.

• Don’t use retinol or Vitamin C for 2 weeks

These active ingredients can be too harsh on freshly microneedled skin. Wait until your skin barrier has fully healed.

• Avoid chemical peels or laser treatments for 60 days

Give your skin time to fully recover before undergoing any other intensive treatments.

When Will I See Results?

Most clients begin noticing smoother, firmer skin within a week of treatment. However, the full benefits of microneedling—especially for scarring and texture—often appear over the course of 4–6 weeks as new collagen develops. If you’re preparing for an event, we recommend planning ahead!

FAQs About Microneedling Aftercare

Can I wear makeup after microneedling?

You should wait at least 4 days before applying any liquid makeup to allow your skin to fully heal and reduce the risk of clogged pores or infection.

How soon can I go back to the gym?

Avoid strenuous workouts and sweating for at least 72 hours. This helps prevent irritation and bacterial exposure to your skin.

What skincare should I avoid?

Avoid active ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and Vitamin C for two weeks post-treatment. Stick with gentle, hydrating products.

Why can’t I swim or use a sauna?

Microneedling opens micro-channels in the skin, making it more vulnerable to bacteria and heat. Avoiding pools, saunas, and hot tubs reduces the chance of infection and inflammation.

Can I do laser or chemical peels soon after microneedling?

No—your skin needs time to fully recover. Wait at least 60 days before scheduling another intensive skin treatment.
