Benefits of Microneedling
Embrace the revitalizing power of Microneedling with PRF at PureMargins Aesthetics Clinic, a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the natural healing capabilities of Platelet-Rich Fibrin with the innovative technology of microneedling. This dual approach not only enhances the skin’s texture and tone but also actively repairs and renews the skin at a cellular level, promoting a more youthful and radiant appearance.
Enhanced Collagen Production
Microneedling with PRF significantly boosts collagen synthesis by creating micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process. The addition of PRF enhances this effect by delivering a high concentration of growth factors directly to the treatment area, accelerating the production of collagen. This results in firmer, smoother skin and a substantial reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines over time.
Reduction of Scars and Imperfections
The precision of microneedling allows for targeted treatment of various skin imperfections, including scars, acne marks, and other textural irregularities. PRF amplifies the healing process, enabling the skin to repair itself more efficiently. Patients typically notice a significant improvement in the smoothness and overall appearance of their skin, with scars becoming less noticeable and the skin surface looking more uniform.
Improved Skin Tone and Texture
Microneedling with PRF is highly effective in addressing issues like uneven skin tone and rough texture. The treatment promotes the turnover of skin cells, which not only helps in fading hyperpigmentation and sun spots but also enhances the overall luminosity of the skin. The growth factors in PRF further support skin renewal, leading to visibly brighter and more even skin.
Minimizes Pores and Reduces Oiliness
The procedure is excellent for reducing the size of enlarged pores. By stimulating the deeper layers of the skin, microneedling with PRF encourages the pores to contract, simultaneously reducing excess oil production. This benefit is particularly advantageous for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin, as smaller pores and less oil lead to fewer breakouts and a clearer complexion.
Versatility and Customization
Microneedling with PRF can be tailored to address specific areas of concern on the face and body. Whether it’s rejuvenating aging skin, treating stretch marks, or reducing cellulite, the treatment can be customized to target diverse skin issues, making it a versatile option for comprehensive aesthetic care.
Long-Lasting Results and Natural Healing
The improvements from Microneedling with PRF are long-lasting due to the natural regeneration of skin tissues. As the skin continues to heal and regenerate over several months, the benefits of the treatment become more pronounced, leading to sustainable and naturally beautiful results.
Safe for All Skin Types
This therapy is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, which are sometimes at risk of pigmentation issues with other types of treatments. Microneedling with PRF utilizes the patient’s own biological material, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions and making it a universally suitable option.
What is Microneedling
Microneedling is a dermatological procedure that involves using a device equipped with small, fine needles to puncture the top layer of the skin. This treatment is designed to trigger the body’s natural healing response. By creating micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are crucial for maintaining youthful and resilient skin. The procedure is performed under clinical conditions and typically targets concerns related to skin texture, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
The microneedling process utilizes a specialized tool that systematically creates these tiny punctures across the treatment area. This controlled approach ensures that the skin’s healing process is activated uniformly, helping to rejuvenate the skin by improving its texture and firmness. As the skin repairs itself, it thickens and becomes more supple, effectively diminishing the appearance of aging signs and other superficial skin concerns. This treatment is widely recognized for its ability to naturally enhance the skin’s appearance without the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
What To Expect
Step 1 – Initial Consultation The process starts with a thorough consultation where a skincare specialist assesses your skin type, discusses your skincare concerns and goals, and determines if microneedling is appropriate for you. This step ensures that the treatment plan is personalized to your specific needs.
Step 2 – Skin Preparation On the day of the procedure, the treatment area is cleaned and disinfected. A topical numbing cream is then applied to minimize discomfort during the treatment. This cream needs some time to take effect, typically about 30-45 minutes.
Step 3 – Microneedling Procedure The numbing cream is removed, and the skin is cleansed again. The practitioner then uses a sterile microneedling device to create tiny punctures in the skin. This device is typically a pen-like instrument equipped with fine needles which is carefully moved across the skin in a controlled and systematic manner.
Step 4 – Application of Topicals Directly after the microneedling, therapeutic agents such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C serum, or sometimes PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are applied to the skin. These agents penetrate deeply through the micro-channels created during microneedling, enhancing the treatment’s rejuvenating effects.
Step 5 – Soothing the Skin Immediately following the procedure, a calming treatment, such as a cooling gel or mask, is applied to soothe the skin and reduce inflammation or redness that typically appears after microneedling.
Step 6 – Post-Treatment Care Instructions Patients are given specific aftercare instructions to follow, which include avoiding direct sunlight, applying recommended skin care products to aid healing, and avoiding makeup or other potentially irritating skincare products for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
Step 7 – Follow-Up and Maintenance A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled to monitor the skin’s progress and healing. For best results, a series of microneedling sessions might be recommended, typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s response and healing process.

Treatment Areas & Goals
Microneedling is particularly effective on the face for reducing the signs of aging and improving overall skin health. It targets fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, as well as more problematic issues like acne scars and enlarged pores. The treatment promotes the regeneration of skin cells, leading to smoother, more even, and younger-looking skin. It also enhances the effectiveness of topical treatments by increasing their penetration into the deeper layers of the skin.
The neck often ages faster than the face and shows signs such as sagging skin and horizontal ‘necklace’ lines. Microneedling helps by stimulating collagen production, which tightens and firms the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular treatments can significantly improve the texture and elasticity of the neck’s delicate skin.
Sun exposure and aging can lead to a crepey texture, wrinkles, and sunspots on the décolletage. Microneedling addresses these issues by encouraging the growth of new collagen and elastin fibers, revitalizing the skin’s appearance. It helps to smooth out wrinkles and can diminish the visibility of hyperpigmentation and sunspots, restoring a more youthful appearance to the chest area.
On the scalp, microneedling is used to stimulate hair growth by improving blood circulation to hair follicles. This increased blood flow can help to revive dormant hair follicles and improve the efficacy of topical hair growth serums or PRF treatments. This approach can be particularly beneficial for those experiencing thinning hair or hair loss.
Hands show age quickly as the skin is thin and often exposed to environmental damage. Microneedling can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin by increasing collagen production, leading to thicker and more resilient skin. It can also help fade age spots and improve the overall skin tone, making the hands look younger.
The abdomen, particularly post-pregnancy or after significant weight changes, can have stretch marks. Microneedling works on these by stimulating the skin’s healing response, which can reduce the depth and coloration of stretch marks over several sessions. This process helps to blend the stretch marks with the surrounding skin, making them less noticeable.
Similar to the abdomen, the arms and legs can benefit from microneedling when treating scars, including those from injuries or surgery, and stretch marks. The procedure helps to smooth the skin’s texture and even out skin tone inconsistencies, enhancing the overall appearance of the skin on the limbs.

Preparation
- Avoid Certain Substances: Stop using skincare products that contain retinol, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and any exfoliating agents at least one week before your treatment. Also, halt anti-inflammatory medications and herbal supplements to ensure a better healing response.
- Protect Against Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least one week prior to your session to prevent any sunburn or skin damage, which could complicate the microneedling process.
- Arrive with Clean Skin: Make sure your skin is clean and free of any makeup, lotions, or perfumes on the day of your treatment. If the area to be treated is covered by clothing, wear loose, comfortable clothing that does not rub against the skin.
- Stay Hydrated: Increase your water intake in the days leading up to the treatment. Hydrated skin can help enhance the results of microneedling and aid in recovery.
Aftercare
- Sun Protection: Protect your skin from the sun by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. This is crucial as your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after the procedure.
- Use Gentle Skincare Products: After treatment, use gentle, non-irritating skincare products. Avoid anything with alcohol, fragrances, or harsh chemicals. Stick to simple, soothing moisturizers and serums that support skin healing.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from engaging in strenuous activities that lead to excessive sweating for at least 48 hours after the procedure. This helps prevent irritation and ensures the tiny punctures heal properly.
- Keep the Skin Clean but Gentle: For the first 24 hours, avoid washing the treated area. After that, you can gently cleanse the area with lukewarm water and a soft cleanser. Do not rub the skin; pat it gently to dry.
