What is microneedling?
Microneedling promotes collagen and elastin production, serving as a skin rejuvenation method for a more youthful appearance. This can be combined with PRP, famously known as the ‘vampire facial.’
What is microneedling’s purpose?
Utilizing tiny microneedles, this treatment naturally encourages the body to initiate its healing process, resulting in the production of collagen and elastin that contributes to a plump, smooth, and youthful appearance—similar to the collagen production that occurs prior to the age of 25.
How does microneedling function?
At TK Aesthete, we utilize the Dr. Pen for microneedling, creating controlled micro-injuries that boost circulation and stimulate collagen and elastin production. These microchannels also enhance the body’s healing response and allow topical products to penetrate more deeply into the skin. Microneedling can reduce fine lines, large pores, and acne scars while enhancing overall skin quality.
What areas can be treated?
• Face
• Neck
• Arms
• Hands
• Legs
• Abdomen
• Décolleté
How many sessions are recommended?
We generally suggest a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Patients may also benefit from an annual single treatment for regular maintenance in their skincare regimen. For those addressing deep wrinkles, stretch marks, or acne scars, six to eight sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are advised. Treatment frequency depends on individual skin conditions and desired outcomes.
When will results be visible?
Most patients notice an immediate glow post-treatment, but visible outcomes take a few weeks as skin improves at a cellular level. Continuous improvement can be seen for up to six months following treatment due to ongoing collagen production.
What side effects might occur?
Commonly, patients experience temporary redness akin to a mild sunburn immediately after treatment, which usually resolves within two to four days.
Microneedling + PRP Facial
Combining microneedling with PRP offers an innovative treatment forrevitalizing skin appearance. The key ingredient, platelets from the blood, significantly enhances effectiveness!
Why incorporate PRP into microneedling?
Research indicates that PRP may accelerate healing and stimulate skin rejuvenation, potentially yielding superior results than microneedling alone. The addition of Platelet Rich Plasma has shown to improve acne scars by over 62%.

Clients pursue microneedling with PRP for various skin enhancements, including:
• Acne scarring
• General scars, especially from surgeries
• Fine lines and wrinkles
