Microneedling Therapy is a fast and effective alternative to laser treatments and deep chemical peels for addressing wrinkles, acne scars, post-traumatic scars, and stretch marks. Offered at the Vein Specialists Institute in La Quinta and Palm Desert, this highly customizable treatment requires minimal downtime and is performed comfortably using topical numbing under the guidance of Dr. Ken Jesser, an experienced physician in aesthetic treatments.
The procedure utilizes a cordless microneedling pen equipped with a high-speed motor, allowing for rapid penetration of fine needles. This precision enables personalized treatment, accommodating varying levels of skin damage for optimal results.
book onlineHow Many Sessions Will I Need?
Typically, 4 to 6 weeks are required between microneedling sessions. For mild to moderate acne scarring, 3 to 4 treatments are recommended, while deeper scars and stretch marks may require 5 to 6 sessions. When using microneedling for general skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, applying topical products containing growth factors (such as TNS by Skin Medica) enhances absorption and boosts treatment effectiveness.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling can also incorporate your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which contains natural growth factors, providing a concentrated treatment without the risk of allergic reactions. This method allows for the introduction of synthetic growth factors, serums, and hyaluronic acid directly into the skin, significantly enhancing your overall appearance.
Combining microneedling with PRP is particularly effective for skin rejuvenation, ensuring a natural approach without artificial additives. Additionally, it can be seamlessly integrated with no-downtime laser or energy treatments to optimize your results.
