Medical Microneedling

Medical Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production. The SkinPen® device, a trademarked tool, is commonly used for this procedure. Medical Microneedling can be performed with or without Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP involves using a patient’s blood, processed to concentrate the platelets, which are applied to the skin to enhance the healing process and results. This treatment addresses various skin concerns, such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin health. It suits the face, neck, décolletage, and other body areas.

Medical Microneedling in St. Louis, MO, is suitable for people looking to improve their skin’s texture and appearance without undergoing more invasive procedures.
