Microneedling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling at Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation uses tiny needles to stimulate new cell growth and revitalize skin naturally without invasive procedures. This treatment makes tiny microtears in the skin, promoting increased collagen and elastin production. 

Your specialist often combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) sourced from your blood or stem cells to enhance anti-aging benefits. 

What is microneedling used for?

Microneedling at Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation provides the following advantages:

• Fewer wrinkles and fine lines
• Smaller pore size
• Smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin
• Diminished stretch marks
• Reduced scarring from burns or acne
• Even-toned skin
• Thicker hair
• Less cellulite

While often used on your face, other areas of the body that can benefit from microneedling include your back, neck, legs, and any tissues containing aging or damaged skin.

Is microneedling right for me?

The Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation experts determine if you’re a candidate for microneedling by discussing your medical history, examining your skin, and reviewing your aesthetic goals. They customize a cosmetic treatment plan that provides superior results.

What happens during microneedling?

If you’re a candidate for microneedling with PRP, your specialist first takes a sample of your blood using a fine needle. They spin the sample in a centrifuge to obtain a more concentrated source of platelets.

Your provider cleans and numbs your skin, uses a handheld pen-like device to make tiny micro-punctures in the skin, and applies PRP or stem cells to the treatment area to optimize new cell growth if desired. You might feel warmth or scratching sensations during the treatment, but it’s not painful. Each session could last 15 minutes to an hour or longer, depending on the size of the areas treated. 

Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation also offers Profound® treatment using radiofrequency energy and tiny microneedles to smooth the skin and promote cellulite reduction.

What should I expect after the procedure?

After microneedling treatments, you can resume typical daily activities. There’s no downtime needed. However, the treated areas may be temporarily swollen, tender, and red. You might also experience scabbing during the healing process. Apply an ice pack if needed to reduce any irritation. 

During the next few days and weeks, skin cells regenerate, and you can expect smoother, tighter, healthier-looking skin and a younger appearance. 

Your Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation specialist typically recommends a series of microneedling treatments with periodic maintenance treatments to achieve the best outcome. They let you know when to schedule your next treatment session.
