Microneedling in Charlotte

By stimulating the body's natural healing response, microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, can improve a wide variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and enlarged pores. We provide expert microneedling in Charlotte at Surface Medical Spa.

Transform Your Skin with Microneedling

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, can improve a wide variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and enlarged pores. For visible improvements in the overall appearance of the facial skin, microneedling works to leave you with skin that is softer, smoother, and more radiant.

What is Microneedling?

Human skin is unsurpassed in its ability to regenerate after injury. Microneedling harnesses the body’s natural regenerative ability by creating tiny injuries, which then stimulate the skin to create new collagen and elastin, which in turn, restore the integrity of the skin. By using these tiny needles to create punctures in the dermis, the layer of skin below the surface, these micro-injuries signal the skin to repair. The result is firmer, tighter, more youthful skin. It can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and more.

What Are Some of the Advantages of Microneedling?

Microneedling in Charlotte is a revolutionary skincare treatment that can address a wide range of concerns, from wrinkles and fine lines to acne scars and uneven skin tone. Some of the benefits include:

Exceed Microneedling: Advanced System, Superior Outcomes

We provide Exceed Microneedling from Candela, a device that offers enhanced versatility in treating facial wrinkles, scars, or other concerns. Each treatment achieves dramatic results with minimal downtime.

Microneedling has been taken to a higher level with the groundbreaking Exceed system. Rather than the usual “pen,” this system has a 6-needle plate that tilts to adapt to the skin surface, ensuring the tiny needles each enter the skin correctly, accessing the skin layer where fresh, healthy collagen is generated. A series of treatments, generally three treatments at four-six week intervals, will produce the most dramatic changes in your skin quality and appearance. Your microneedling results can be enhanced even further with a custom facial rejuvenation plan.

VirtueRF Microneedling: The Magic of Microneedling + RF Energy

VirtueRF microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with LED Light & Radiofrequency (RF) energy to smooth away wrinkles and fine lines, tighten loose skin, and improve skin texture. By creating many tiny, controlled injuries, combined with RF energy, the Virtue RF device significantly increases the natural production of collagen and elastin – the ideal skin-smoothing proteins. This advanced treatment can dramatically improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, and restore a more supple, resilient quality to aging skin.

Microneedling with AnteAGE

At Surface MedSpa, both Exceed & Virtue RF is combined with AnteAGE brightening solution as a standard treatment to improve and enhance results. This unique approach elevates the microneedling results and achieves more dramatic improvements.

How is the AnteAGE Brightening Solution combined with microneedling?

AnteAGE Brightening Solution is designed to enhance and maximize microneedling results using a powerful combination of rejuvenating growth factors and cytokines, Tranexamic Acid, and other melanin synthesis blocking factors.

This brightening formula was designed to address eight pigmentation pathways to effectively correct uneven skin tone and discoloration at the cellular level, and promote a naturally brighter, more refreshed complexion.

What to Expect with Your Microneedling Procedure

Most people find microneedling to be a very tolerable procedure. Before your treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and numbing cream will be applied to the skin. Once this sits for a certain amount of time, the handheld microneedling device will be passed over the skin. Most say they feel mild pricking of the skin once the needles are passed over the treatment area, but it is not painful. A series of microneedling treatments should be done to obtain the best results.

Enhance Your Microneedling Treatment with PFRM

For patients who would like to enhance their results, PFRM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) can be included with Exceeds or Virtue RF microneedling to enhance results. PRFM in Charlotte is a unique treatment that can speed up natural healing and cell regeneration, improve recovery time, and elevate the microneedling treatment. A combination of PFRM and microneedling is among the most effective non-surgical anti-aging procedures available.

The difference between PRFM and PRP

PRFM is derived differently than PRP. Like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix) is taken from your own blood. Your plasma contains platelets that are rich in growth factors. With PRF, the plasma is separated from the blood in a slower centrifuge than it is during PRP separation. This protects the platelets from damage and allows some of the white blood cells and stem cells to remain in the treatment substance. This is why PRFM contains more healing factors.

These growth factors repair and regenerate skin tissue and help with the production of collagen and elastin. When used in concert with microneedling, PFRM helps the skin become even healthier, firmer, tighter, and more youthful.

What happens during microneedling with PRFM?

Your blood will be drawn, then placed into a centrifuge (spinning machine) to purify and separate the PFRM. This will then be applied to your skin during microneedling for enhanced results. The application of PRFM accelerates the skin-regenerating effect, softens fine lines and wrinkles, improves pore size, enhances skin texture, and triggers higher levels of collagen and elastin production. The result is healthier, firmer, more beautiful, youthful skin and improved skin tone.

What is the Recovery After Microneedling?

Following microneedling in Charlotte, the recovery is typically very short and uncomplicated. Most people experience only minor discomfort and a small amount of pinpoint bleeding immediately after the treatment. The skin may be pink and slightly inflamed for one to two days, but you will not have any physical restrictions. You should avoid applying anything that day and avoid sun exposure for 24 hours. After 24 hours wear SPF to get the most out of your microneedling.

Who is a Candidate for Microneedling?

This treatment option is a wonderful option for nearly anybody looking to improve their skin. Because it works for all skin types and tones, almost everyone can get benefits from treatment. If you are someone who wants to improve the tone and texture of your skin or decrease the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and other common skin concerns, it is likely that this treatment is one that you can benefit from.
