Microneedling

As we age, the body naturally produces less collagen and elastin, which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and changes in skin texture. Microneedling is a treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair process and encourage new collagen production for smoother, healthier looking skin.

During microneedling, a specialized device creates tiny micro channels in the skin. These controlled micro injuries trigger the body’s healing response, helping improve skin texture, tone, and overall firmness. Microneedling is commonly used to address concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture.

To enhance results, Aqua Medical Spa offers several advanced microneedling options that can be customized to your skin’s needs.

Microneedling with PRP combines traditional microneedling with platelet rich plasma derived from your own blood to support the healing process and enhance collagen stimulation.

SkinPen Microneedling uses a medical grade device designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.

Vivace® Radiofrequency Microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate deeper collagen production and improve skin firmness. Vivace® treatments are available at the Marietta, Georgia location.

Morpheus8 Radiofrequency Microneedling targets deeper layers of the skin to improve texture and support skin tightening. Morpheus8 treatments are available at the Tallahassee, Florida location.

Microneedling is a proven treatment that involves the use of tiny needles that produce micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural collagen production – the substance that provides flexibility and strength to skin and body tissue.

Microneedling can be used in several different areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, décolletage, arms, abdomen, back, hands and legs.

It can:

  • Reduce broken capillaries and spider veins
  • Improve uneven pigmentation, evening your skin tone
  • Eliminate and minimize fine lines and wrinkles
  • Help minimize sun damage and lighten age spots
  • Improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduce acne scarring and/or other facial scarring
  • Increase your skin’s overall radiance and glow
  • Reduce the appearance of larger pores
  • Reduce and eliminate crepey skin on your hands, neck and décolletage

Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types with the depth of the microneedle being adjusted and customized for every individual and the body area(s) being treated.

PRP actually comes from the serum portion of your blood, which contains platelets. These platelets contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors, which are very important for healing injuries, especially to the surface layers of the skin. In other words, the serum portion of our blood, hyper-concentrated with these growth factors, essentially becomes an energy booster for our skin. The results: an increase in everything from collagen and elastin production to delivering highly beneficial antioxidant and hydrating properties to our skin.

PRP is created from a person’s own blood and is a concentrated blend of plasma cells and specific growth factors. When injected into tissue, it bathes the cells to naturally stimulate the healing process. This advanced technique is often used by professional athletes who need to recover as quickly as possible, to help to reduce recovery time. As a regenerative technique that accelerates the body’s natural healing processes and in conjunction with microneedling, the treated area of skin can restore and rejuvenate for a firmer, more youthful texture and flexibility.

On the day of your procedure, our team will take a sample of your blood and then run it through a centrifuge here at the spa to separate the platelet-rich plasma from your blood. The PRP collected from your blood sample will then be applied topically and massaged into the treated area of skin following the completion of your treatment to promote recovery and new skin cell growth.

Radiofrequency provides heat that stimulates collagen production which has been found to lead to tighter, younger-looking skin. Combined with state-of-the-art microneedling, patients can achieve optimal results.

It usually takes about a day or two of downtime before you feel like returning to work or your normal routine, all depending on how aggressive your treatment was.

Because the depth of the needle can be adjusted to your individual needs, we find that most adults are good candidates for microneedling.
