Is Microneedling Painful?

The treatment is minimally painful due to the numbing cream applied before the procedure. Most clients report feeling only slight discomfort.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

For optimal results, treatments are generally spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However, the exact number of sessions can vary depending on your specific skin goals and condition.

How Long Until I See Results?

You’ll likely notice some immediate improvements after your first treatment, but you should get the recommended cumulative treatments for best results. Most patients observe firmer, smoother skin and improvement in the appearance of scarring and skin discoloration after a series of three to five microneedling treatments spaced at four-week intervals.

Can I Combine Microneedling With Other Procedures?

Yes, you can! Our patients who have received SkinPen microneedling in Philadelphia have combined it with a chemical peel or a facial. If you are interested in combining procedures, we suggest you bring this up during your initial consultation with your provider so they can include your ideas as they design your customized treatment plan.

What Are the Risks Associated with Microneedling?

Microneedling is considered a low-risk procedure. However, there are still risks associated with it. Some are listed below: Damage to blood vessels Infection Nerve damage Pain and redness Peeling Possibility of Bruising and bleeding Possible scarring Skin irritation If you are experiencing an unexpected reaction, please contact us at Lux Skin Lasers immediately so we can help and try to resolve the condition.

You will look as if you have a sunburn following the treatment. This can last 1 to 3 days following the treatment depending on the treatment depth. At Lux Skin Lasers, we complete our microneedling treatment with a special mask that helps with the post treatment comfort and skin healing.

How is microneedling different from lasers?

Microneedling breaks up pigment mechanically instead of with light (heat) and remodel the collagen without heat. Removing heat from the equation makes for a safer, more comfortable treatment with a very low complication rate.

Microneedling

Introduction

King of Prussia Microneedling for Skin Rejuvenation

Microneedling is a non-invasive skin enhancement treatment that revitalizes the skin by boosting collagen production. Resurfacing the skin smoothens the texture and reduces blemishes, fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots. This treatment is ideal for clients who are not interested in invasive and surgical enhancements. Lux Skin Lasers, located in Bryn Mawr, offers innovative SkinPen Microneedling treatment to clients in King of Prussia, Philadelphia, and surrounding areas. This state-of-the-art procedure is renowned for its ability to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating natural healing processes, making it a cornerstone of our anti-aging treatment offerings.

What is Microneedling?

SkinPen Microneedling involves using a medically engineered device equipped with fine needles. The SkinPen creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin, prompting the body to begin a natural healing process. This process produces collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help maintain the skin’s youthful structure and elasticity.

PRP Microneedling

Incorporating PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) involves using your blood-derived growth factors to enhance the healing process and improve the overall results of the microneedling treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Our patients who have received microneedling treatments in Bryn Mawr, King of Prussia, and the surrounding Philadelphia area have raved about the impacts of the SkinPen method. Some benefits include:

Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Helps achieve a smoother, more uniform skin texture and reduces pigmentation irregularities.
Pore Size Minimization: Helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Promotes skin tightening and smoothing lines and wrinkles.
Scar Reduction: Effective in diminishing the appearance of acne scars and other types of skin indentations.

The best candidates for SkinPen Microneedling in Philadelphia will be those looking for a gentle skin enhancement treatment. The ideal candidates will have some of the following characteristics:

Acne scars or other types of scarring

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting SkinPen microneedling in Bryn Mawr, King of Prussia, and the greater Philadelphia area is to schedule an in-person consultation with one of our expert providers at Lux Skin Lasers. During your appointment, your provider will discuss your medical history, skincare regimen, aesthetic goals, and expectations. Please share your past skin history in detail, as some acne medications or topical retinoid prescriptions can interfere with the effectiveness of the microneedling procedure. Your provider will then carefully examine the target area as they outline the procedure, its associated risks, benefits, and recovery profile for you.

If you decide to proceed with treatment, your provider will create a treatment plan for you. You can then take this plan to our patient concierge for scheduling and pricing options.

What to Expect on the Day of Microneedling Treatment

On the day of your microneedling treatment in Philadelphia, your provider and the staff will receive you at Lux Skin Lasers’ state-of-the-art facility, get you settled in your treatment room, and review your plan in case you have any outlying or new questions. Once you are good to go, a member of the staff will prepare you for the treatment by cleansing the skin and applying a numbing cream to ensure your comfort.

Once you are ready, the provider will use the SkinPen to cover the target areas. The SkinPen creates micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate collagen and elastin production.

PRP or PRF is applied to the skin for those opting for enhanced treatment to boost the healing process and results.

Microneedling Recovery

There is usually no recovery downtime after a microneedling treatment. Patients might notice redness and mild swelling for a few days, similar to a mild sunburn, but these effects typically subside quickly.
