Microneedling

If you’re looking for smoother, healthier-looking skin on your face or body, it’s time to explore the impressive healing power of microneedling in Staten Island. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro channels within your skin, triggering your skin’s natural healing response and spurring the growth of vibrant new collagen and elastin, the building blocks for smoother, suppler, younger-looking skin that lasts!

Microneedling helps improve the look of:

● Acne scars

● Lines and wrinkles

● Crepey skin

● Large pores

● Skin texture

● Dullness

● Acne scars and other scars

● Stretch marks

● Lax skin

● Sun damage

● Aging skin

At Still Well by Dr. Stilwell, we can boost your results by pairing your microneedling treatments with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a concentrated healing portion of your very own blood. PRP provides a synergistic boost of healing power to your microneedling treatments by enhancing your skin’s absorption of PRP and stimulating intense cellular revitalization.

FAQs: Microneedling in Staten Island, NY at Still Well by Dr. Stilwell

What happens during microneedling?

When you arrive for your microneedling session, we apply a topical numbing cream to your treatment areas to ensure your comfort. Once you are fully numb, we will apply the microneedling device to your skin, creating thousands of tiny treatment channels within your skin.

If you are adding PRP to your microneedling treatment: While you are numbing, we will draw a small portion of your blood and prepare it in a special machine that’s designed for platelet-rich plasma. Once your PRP mixture is ready within a few minutes, we will administer your microneedling session in tandem with PRP. As we microneedle, we will apply your PRP over your treatment zones, ensuring your skin deeply absorbs the healing PRP “liquid gold.”

Is there downtime with microneedling?

Immediately following your microneedling treatment, your skin will appear red and swollen. These side effects will gradually subside in the hours to days following your treatment. If you have PRP with your microneedling, the PRP will dry over your skin and form a crust-like cover over your treatment areas. Your face will feel tight. We recommend that you avoid washing your face in the following days. Rather, to maximize every bit of PRP healing properties, we encourage you to let the PRP remain on your skin until it naturally sloughs off and fades away in the days following your treatment.

Is microneedling right for me?
