Our microneedling in Nashville, also known as “collagen induction therapy,” can significantly improve facial skin quality. The micro-injuries created by the needles send a signal to the skin to repair and regenerate, building new, fresh collagen fibers for firmer, more supple skin.

What is microneedling, and how much difference does PRP make in results?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation technique. Tiny needles create pinpoint injuries on the skin surface, and the body responds by increasing natural collagen production and elastin – nature’s skin-firming proteins.

Young skin is loaded with collagen and elastin, giving it the plump, resilient texture that is so beautiful in children. When your skin has more proteins, it becomes firmer, smoother, and plumper. The results are even more dramatic with the addition of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), as the growth factors in the PRP flow through the microchannels created by the needling, speeding and enhancing the healing process.

How can injuring my skin make it look better?

It may sound like a contradiction, but the tiny injuries improve the health and appearance of your skin. The injuries are very tiny and don’t create scars but send your skin a message that it is time to heal from within. This proven treatment is minimally invasive; the needles only penetrate the skin at a shallow depth.

Unlike a traditional facial, microneedling lasts for up to six weeks after treatment. You should not try this procedure at home with instruments available online as you are putting yourself at risk of serious complications such as a bacterial infection. Having a microneedling treatment performed by a qualified aesthetician, on the other hand, is completely safe.

Microneedling Overview & Testimonial

What does it feel like to have microneedling? Does it hurt?

You will rest comfortably in a soft chair during your microneedling treatment. The sensation may feel as if your skin is being scratched. You may feel minor discomfort when the needles are passed over the cheekbones or other facial areas where the bone is closer to the surface. Some clients find the treatment reasonably easy to experience, while others may prefer a numbing cream before the treatment.

How is PRP made?

PRP is a serum extracted from a small blood sample. First, the blood is extracted, just like a regular blood draw at the doctor, and then processed to concentrate the healing factors in the blood. Once the serum is made, it is applied to the face following microneedling.

Microneedling FAQ

Does microneedling really work?

Microneedling is a proven way to trigger natural collagen and elastin production, smoothing the skin naturally from within. Many people rely on regular microneedling treatments to keep the skin looking healthy, fresh, and firm.

Does microneedling with PRP work better?

The results of microneedling with the addition of PRP can significantly improve the treatment results.
