Microneedling
Microneedling
Microneedling is a popular skin rejuvenation method that uses several patented technologies to treat aging skin and acne scarring. Microneedling with EPN creates thousands of micro-injuries in the skin to encourage the body’s natural wound healing. During this controlled process, collagen and elastin are formed in the skin. Micro-channels help infuse growth factors into the deepest layers of skin. The result is beautifully smooth, youthful skin.
Microneedling with EPN is most commonly used to treat:
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Acne and surgical scars
- Hair restoration
- Skin tone
- Stretch marks
- Skin texture
- Skin laxity
- Reduce open pores.

Treatments
Skin Brightening Treatment w/ AnteAGE MD
Unique skin brightening treatment combined with microneedling helps correct uneven skin tone and encourages a naturally lighter complexion.
AnteAGE MD Brightening treatment targets eight different types of pigmentation. This is the only product available that effectively brightens and targets discoloration at the cellular level without irritating, drying, or inflaming the skin. This high molecular weight humectant promotes rehydration and volume-increasing effects in the upper layers of the skin.
Microneedling w/ Stemcells & Growth Factors
The Microneedling With Stem Cells Treatment Allows your skin to produce the collagen needed to fill wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, and improve vibrancy.
Microneedling with stem cells is a procedure that aims to reduce wrinkles and skin imperfections. The stem cells added to the procedure provide robust growth factors that stimulate the regeneration and healing of the skin—using stem cells with the treatment results in a substantial increase in collagen and elastin production.
Microneedling w/ PRP a.k.a. Platelet Rich Plasma
Microneedling combined PRP is a cosmetic treatment that has been gaining popularity over the past few years.
Platelet-rich plasma, aka PRP, is drawn directly into the skin from the patient’s own blood, processed, and microneedled back into the skin. This cosmetic treatment stimulates collagen production as these proteins help to repair skin tissue. This has a great potential to provide collagen and elastin-boosting results. It also has anti-aging and anti-acne potential. The more recent advances in this procedure have led to the ability of PRP to stimulate collagen production without any side effects since it uses your own blood factors.
Microneedling w/ Hyaluronic Acid
Combined with hyaluronic acid (HA) and B12, microneedling adds plumpness and hydration to the skin. In addition, it prevents visible signs of aging.
Microneedling provides better absorption of products into the skin by opening up the skin’s pores. After microneedling, hyaluronic acid and B12 are absorbed into the skin and provide nourishing hyaluronic acid. When microneedling is used in conjunction with the treatment, the repair process begins almost immediately, softening wrinkles, scarring, and thickening the dermis layer.

After Care
- CLEAN – Cleanse the face with a gentle cleanser and tepid water for 72 hours after treatment, and gently pat the treated skin dry. Make sure your hands stay clean when touching the treated area, and avoid using Clarisonic or other powered cleansing brushes for one week following treatment.
- HYDRATE – After your microneedling treatment, your skin may feel drier than usual. Hyaluronic Acid is a great ingredient to hydrate and restore the skin back to perfect balance.
- STIMULATE – In the days after your treatment. As the skin starts to regenerate itself, collagen-stimulating peptides are ideal for maximizing the effects of the stimulation already initiated by the microneedling.
- MAKEUP - Makeup shouldn't be applied 24 to 72 hours after the procedure. Don't use a makeup brush to apply makeup, especially if it's dirty.
- PROTECT –Following your procedure, your skin professional will apply a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with an SPF of 25 or greater to your skin. We recommend chemical-free sunscreen. Keep in mind that you should continue to use sunscreen every day—not only on the days after your procedure—as part of your daily skincare routine to protect your skin from sun damage and premature aging.
- No swimming for 72 hours after your treatment.
- Avoid tanning beds and direct sunlight for one week.
