For your skin health, finding a natural treatment is not easy, especially when you want a smoother texture and brighter tone. Microneedling is the safest clinically approved treatment that rejuvenates your skin. At Forever Young Aesthetics, this treatment, combined with either salmon DNA, exosomes, or PRP, gives better results. We offer all these options. If you want this treatment, you should know which one is beneficial when comparing traditional microneedling.
Understanding Microneedling With SkinPen
When you are looking for a natural treatment for your skin, microneedling has to be a clinically proven skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates a natural healing response. It can be performed using SkinPen at Forever Young Aesthetics. This device is the first FDA-approved microneedling treatment made in the US and trusted worldwide.
With the help of this SkinPen device, during a professional microneedling treatment, it creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, matching up to 1600 micro-injuries per second. These small channels trigger the production of necessary proteins, such as collagen and elastin, responsible for elasticity, firmness, and structure.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses the SkinPen, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device manufactured in the United States, by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production to improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Sun damage
- Enlarged pores
- Skin texture and tone
Important points
- The process lasts around 30-60 minutes
- Considered safe for all skin types
- Minimally invasive
- Designed for the face and neck but can also be used elsewhere on the body.
How Does SkinPen Work?
The SkinPen creates approximately 3 million controlled micro-channels in the skin during each treatment.
These micro-injuries:
- Trigger your body’s natural wound-healing response
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Promote tissue remodeling without scarring
Unlike neurotoxins (such as Botox) that relax muscles, microneedling works at the skin level to rebuild and strengthen from within. Collagen remodeling continues for weeks to months after treatment.
Overall firmness and radiance
Understanding Microneedling with Salmon DNA
The REJURAN Tone-Up Booster is a Korean skin-brightening and regeneration booster featuring c-PDRN (salmon-derived polynucleotides) and other amazing ingredients. Results build gradually—usually visible after 4–6 weeks with a series of 3–6 treatments.
Those who are allergic to salmon or seafood (due to c-PDRN) should avoid this treatment.
Active ingredients (Vitamin C, TXA) require sun protection and gentle aftercare.
How Rejuran Tone-Up Booster Works
Microneedling is used first, and then once there are channels created, the REJURAN Tone-Up Booster is placed on the skin, and then microneedling resumes. This technique allows the booster to penetrate the skin for maximum benefit. The benefits are a boosted microneedling treatment, resulting in an improvement in uneven skin tone.
Understanding Microneedling with Exosomes
AnteAGE® Growth Factors & Exosomes is an innovative treatment that enhances your results using stem cell–derived growth factors and cytokines
More about AnteAGE
AnteAGE is based in Irvine, California, and led by physicians and scientists who pioneered the use of human bone marrow stem cell technology in aesthetics and dermatology.
Important Facts
- No live stem cells are used
- No fetal or embryonic stem cells
- Sourced from healthy, pre-screened adult donors
- Contains only growth factors and cytokines
- Free of inflammatory cells, DNA, RNA, and cell fragments
- Cruelty-free and paraben-free
The stem cells are cultured in a controlled laboratory environment. The cells produce regenerative bio-signals (growth factors and cytokines), which are extracted. The cells themselves are discarded.
These proteins are encapsulated in lipid nano-carriers to enhance skin penetration during microneedling.
Key Benefits of Microneedling with AnteAGE
- Enhanced collagen stimulation
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduced appearance of scars and fine lines
- Faster recovery
- Less redness duration
- No blood draw required
- Less discomfort compared to PRP
Understanding Microneedling With PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from our blood, and when used with microneedling treatment, it is known as a PRP facial. This method gives healthy results by accelerating healing and tissue regeneration.
PRP is rich in growth factors that support:
- Remodeling of collagen
- Formation of new blood vessels
- Cellular repair
- Reduction in inflammation
At the time of microneedling treatment, PRP is applied, and it penetrates deeply through the micro-channels that amplify the skin’s natural renewal process. Therefore, many patients opt for PRP based on the comparative results of microneedling vs. microneedling with PRP.
Important Differences: Microneedling vs. Microneedling with PRP
During the treatment process from start to finish, there are multiple factors based on which we can see the differences:
1. Results
Taking a traditional microneedling treatment can help your skin get visible improvements in fine lines, texture, and acne scarring. Now, Microneedling PRP benefits provide faster recovery, enhanced radiance, and increased collagen stimulation.
2. Healing Time
During the microneedling treatment, the redness persists for 24–72 hours. When the redness from the microneedling treatment is combined with PRP, it may last 24-36 hours, indicating a quicker recovery due to the growth factors that support tissue repair.
3. Suitable Candidates
People who have mild to moderate skin concerns and ongoing maintenance should opt for microneedling. Those with deep wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, who desire dramatic rejuvenation, should prefer PRP-based microneedling.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Both microneedling and microneedling with PRP are considered to be the best modern anti-aging treatments that make your skin more rejuvenated. You need to know what the proper steps should be before and after treatment.
In general, before treatment, your intake forms and consent are reviewed, and photos may be taken for progress tracking. Also, for a comfortable experience, a numbing cream is applied. In case PRP is applied, a small quantity of blood sample will be taken using an advanced centrifuge system to take out high-quality platelet-rich plasma.
Post-treatment:
- Your skin may become a little pink or red, matching a sunburn
- May notice normal sensitivity or mild tightness
- This redness can subside within 24-72 hours in microneedling and 24-36 hours in PRP-based microneedling
- You should avoid makeup and sunscreens for 1-3 days
One of the benefits of this treatment is that no downtime is required. Hence, you can go to your work after taking this treatment.
Focus on Safety, Contradiction, and Professional Care
