Aesthetic FAQs

What do I need to do before booking?

Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types; however, there are specific precautions & contraindications. Before your procedure, the doctor will consult with you about your specific aesthetic goals, assess target treatment areas, and confirm that you are a good candidate for the procedure. This 20-minute consultation is complimentary for all patients (valued at $95).

Please come to your appointment with a clean face (no makeup, lotion, oil, powder, perfume, or sunscreen). Do not shave or use harsh facial creams or cleansers on the day of your appointment.

What can I expect?

Most patients notice an immediate tightening and "glow" to their skin after the procedure. You may begin to notice the results of your PRP treatment immediately; however, it may take up to a 3-6 months for full effect. Patients tend to notice continued skin improvement for months following their last treatment as skin integrity continues to improve. This is why the best results come from maintaining your PRP treatments as recommended by the doctor. PRP effects are gradual as your collagen takes time to rebuild and surrounding cells continue working for ultimate regeneration. For best results, follow up treatments are usually repeated in 4-6 weeks. The initial treatment frequency is crucial to properly maintain and build a collagen matrix. Following that, maintenance treatments are scheduled further apart.

*A comprehensive naturopathic consultation is highly recommended in addition to PRP treatments to enhance procedure benefits & ultimately achieve radiant skin from the inside out.

How many treatments do I need?

On average, 3-4 treatments are generally recommended and are initially spaced out in 4-6 week intervals. Maintenance sessions are scheduled further apart as your skin condition improves. For more severe skin concerns such as acne scars and advanced aging (deep wrinkles, sagging, etc), 6-8 sessions, spaced one month apart, may be recommended. Severity and treatment frequency will be determined during your skin/hair consultation with the doctor.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) or “hyaluronan” is a powerful hydrating substance that is naturally produced by our body. It plays a vital role in helping our tissues and skin retain water to maintain adequate moisture. As we age, the skin’s natural ability to produce hyaluronic acid begins to decrease, thus contributing to signs of aging. The addition of hyaluronic acid often improves facial fullness, firmness, smoothness, and skin integrity.

Youthful skin maintains a supple texture due to the ability to retain moisture and higher water content. When applied topically, HA molecules are able to keep the skin moist but are too large to actually penetrate through the skin for absorption. Thus, combining it with microneedling allows for optimal absorption and ultimate hydration.

*Hyaluronic Acid is an ADD-ON option to our PRP microneedling procedures ($50)*

What is the downtime?

There is virtually minimal to zero downtime. Most people only notice a slight redness or a mild "sunburn-like" hue to the skin. On average, the skin is slightly red for 2-3 days but the majority of people report it not being noticeable the day after. There may be minimal bruising at injection sites. Total healing time depends on each individual and the condition of their skin. You will be instructed with post-treatment care instructions by the doctor. Typically, you may resume your normal skin care routine (including applying make-up) & daily activities 2-3 days after the procedure.

Does the procedure hurt?

A professionally compounded numbing cream will be applied before the procedure to provide ultimate comfort for our patients. Most patients have described the feeling of microneedling like mild "sandpaper" against the skin. Injections are done with very fine needles and may feel like a mild "sting". The doctor will also adjust the depth of penetration when using the microneedling pen throughout the procedure depending on your specific skin type and condition. The procedure is well tolerated by most patients.
