What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled injuries on the skin's surface. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. The resulting improved skin texture and tone make microneedling in Charlotte, NC, effective for addressing issues like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation.

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.

What are the Benefits of Microneedling?

  • A fast procedure that is completed in under an hour
  • Safe for all skin tones

What to Expect During Microneedling

Treatment sessions with the Candela Exceed system take only an hour to complete. Before the procedure begins, your skin will be cleansed and a numbing cream will be applied. Once your skin is numb, the cream will be removed and the procedure will begin. The handheld microneedling device will pass over your skin multiple times, creating tiny punctures into the dermis. You’ll feel it, but the numbing cream will help. The majority of patients find microneedling to be very tolerable. No heat is applied during the treatment, with almost no risk of hyperpigmentation. We recommend a series of microneedling treatments to build on your new collagen and get the best results.

Microneedling with AnteAGE 

We standardly combine our microneedling treatments with AnteAGE brightening solution to enhance and elevate our patients’ results. This unique approach achieves more dramatic results, utilizing the AnteAGE stem and growth factor cytokines derived from human bone marrow. 

When combined with AnteAGE technology, microneedling is the most natural and powerful way to revitalize the skin, achieving radiant, luminous results.

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.

Microneedling with PFRM

Microneedling in Charlotte, NC can be performed alone, or you can add PFRM to speed up natural healing and recovery time, trigger cell regeneration, and enhance results. PRFM is unique and elevates 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.

How Exosomes Enhance Microneedling

Exosomes are powerful cellular messengers derived from stem cells that, when combined with microneedling, enhance the skin’s rejuvenation process. Here’s how:

  • During microneedling, tiny micro-injuries are created in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing response
  • Adding exosomes to this treatment accelerates that response by delivering growth factors, proteins, and other essential molecules directly into the skin
  • This combination boosts collagen production, speeds up skin repair, and reduces inflammation, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion

The exosomes also enhance the treatment's effectiveness in addressing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin texture, making microneedling even more transformative.

Recovery from Microneedling

Although there are no physical restrictions after a microneeding treatment, your skin will be inflamed afterward. It will be pink and perhaps scratchy-looking for one to two days, and you may also experience pinpoint bleeding for an hour or so. Avoid using anything on your skin for the rest of the day in order to get the best benefits from microneedling. 

Results

You will see smoother, more radiant skin within days after your procedure. The increased collagen and elastin that is triggered during treatment develops over time, continuing to regenerate for four to six weeks following your treatment. This new collagen looks better and better when it’s built upon, which is why multiple treatments are recommended.
