Our skin tells the story of our lives, both the good and the bad. Fun in the sun, years of smiling and laughter, acne, and injuries can all leave their mark on our complexion. At drs skincare in Hamilton, Ontario, we provide dermatological solutions to revitalize and refresh your appearance, including microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). If you have been searching for microneedling services near you that are performed by a skilled dermatology team providing patient-centred care, we are here to help! Read on to learn about the benefits of this time-tested procedure.
Many people think that cosmetic dermatology treatments are only designed for people with ageing skin, but the reality is that nearly everyone can benefit from rejuvenating treatments such as microneedling. Also called “collagen induction therapy,” microneedling with PRP harnesses the power of your body’s own healing potential to improve the appearance of a wide variety of skin concerns.
Ultra-fine needles are used to puncture the skin, creating micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s healing response and the production of youthful elastin and collagen. Combining this procedure with PRP boosts your skin’s regenerative potential for amazing results – all with minimal downtime and recovery. Patients with the following skin conditions can benefit from microneedling:
Additionally, the period following your microneedling treatment is an excellent time to apply topical treatments such as anti-ageing serums, acne therapies, or other treatments designed to improve the health and radiance of your skin. This is because microneedling creates small channels in your skin, helping topical treatments penetrate more deeply into the dermis for more powerful therapeutic action.
Microneedling is a versatile therapy that is suitable for all skin types and textures. Nearly everyone can benefit from this rejuvenating treatment, but it is important not to have any active infections or wound healing issues. Additionally, microneedling cannot be performed in areas with active acne breakouts or cysts because it will increase the inflammation in the area and potentially spread bacteria. To schedule your consultation at drs skincare and learn whether microneedling is right for you, call (905) 524-1712 or request your appointment online.
