Microneedling in Honolulu, Hawaii

Whether you're looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, diminish acne scars, or restore a youthful glow, microneedling can be a transformative solution.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using a specialized device. These tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—the essential proteins that give your skin its strength and elasticity. This boost in collagen production promotes healthier, firmer, and more even skin, delivering remarkable results for a wide range of concerns.

Microneedling with PRP: Enhanced Healing & Rejuvenation

To enhance the benefits of microneedling, our providers offer microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). PRP is derived from your blood and processed to concentrate growth factors and regenerative properties. During this treatment, PRP is applied to the skin after microneedling, allowing the growth factors to penetrate deep into the tissue through the microchannels created. This powerful combination promotes faster healing, increased collagen production, and more dramatic results, leaving you with revitalized, glowing skin.

AquaGold: A Gentle Approach to Microneedling

For those seeking a gentle yet effective microneedling treatment, AquaGold is a popular option. Using 24-karat gold-plated needles, AquaGold delivers a customized blend of serums, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins directly into the skin for a targeted, gentle boost. This treatment is often called a "microinfusion facial" because it hydrates and rejuvenates the skin while minimizing discomfort. It's an excellent choice for patients seeking a quick, refreshing glow before an event or special occasion or simply to maintain their skin's health and radiance.

The Microneedling Process

Microneedling is a simple, in-office treatment that typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Here's what to expect:

Preparation: Your skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
Treatment: The microneedling device gently glides over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. For enhanced results, PRP or AquaGold solutions may be applied at this stage.
Recovery: Post-treatment, you may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a day or two, and you can resume your normal routine quickly.
