What is Microneedling?

This minimally invasive treatment uses tiny needles to create microscopic “micro-injuries” in your skin, sparking your body’s natural healing. This causes a collagen and elastin production surge that firms and smooths your skin, tackling everything from acne scars and dark spots to fine lines and stretch marks.

This is the ideal treatment for static wrinkles—fine lines that are present at rest with no facial movement. The results are exponentially amplified when combined with treatments like Botox, which treats dynamic wrinkles that occur with facial motion.

Whether you’re aiming for a radiant face or neck, microneedling is your go-to for refreshed and rejuvenated skin. Multiple sessions may be needed for the full effect, but the journey to stunning, revitalized skin is absolutely worth it.

Prime Facial Plastic Surgery’s Personalized Approach

Dr. Sitapara will tailor your microneedling treatment to rejuvenate your skin with expert precision. Our innovative microneedling device allows fine control down to the quarter millimeter to ensure the perfect depth is used to achieve your results.

By creating a customized plan, we address your unique skin concerns, whether it’s reducing fine lines, minimizing scars, or improving overall texture.

Expect a revitalized, smoother complexion that complements your individual beauty.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Microneedling is a transformative cosmetic procedure that revitalizes your skin by addressing various concerns, including:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines: By restoring collagen in the skin, microneedling helps smooth away wrinkles and fine lines, giving you a more youthful appearance.
  • Pore size stimulates collagen around pores, making them appear smaller and less likely to clog, resulting in a smoother complexion.
  • Skin texture: With age, collagen and elastin production decline, but microneedling boosts their production, improving overall skin texture.
  • Acne scars: The micro-injuries created during the procedure help break up scar tissue and boost collagen production, minimizing the appearance of acne scars. This works by filling in depressions with new collagen formation.  
  • Hyperpigmentation: Microneedling thickens the epidermis and reduces the appearance of hyperpigmented cells in the deeper layers of the skin.  
  • Stretch marks: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling can minimize stretch marks, making skin firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned.

Experience the magic of microneedling and achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Microneedling?

The best candidate for microneedling is someone who is in good overall health and looking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin. Ideal candidates include those who:

  • Have acne scarring: Individuals wanting to reduce the appearance of acne scars.
  • Suffer from Surgical Scars or Burns: Those looking to minimize the visibility of surgical or burn scars.
  • Experience enlarged pores: People who want to shrink their pore size and achieve a smoother complexion.
  • Notice wrinkles and fine lines: Anyone looking to reduce the signs of aging by boosting collagen production.
  • Have stretch marks: Individuals seeking to fade stretch marks and improve skin tone.
  • Deal with skin discoloration: Those wanting to even out their skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.
  • Crepey skin: People who desire firmer, tighter skin.
  • Struggle with poor skin texture: Individuals aiming for a smoother, more refined skin surface.
  • Have sun damage: Those looking to repair and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin.

Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and tones, but it’s always best to consult a qualified healthcare provider to determine if it’s the right treatment for your needs.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the
first step?

Before embarking on your microneedling journey, a thorough consultation with Dr. Jigar Sitapara at Prime Facial Plastic Surgery ensures you’re in expert hands. Dr. Sitapara, a seasoned professional in aesthetic treatments, will carefully examine your skin, review your health history, and discuss your goals for the procedure. This is the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Dr. Sitapara might also take before-and-after photos to track your skin’s progress and may recommend skin care products to maximize your results. This personalized approach ensures your microneedling experience is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs, leaving your skin smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

What to Expect on the Day of a Microneedling Treatment

Here’s what you can expect on the day of your microneedling treatment with Dr. Jigar Sitapara at Prime Facial Plastic Surgery. First, you’ll need to cleanse your face thoroughly to remove any makeup, oil, lotion, powder, or sunscreen. Be sure to update Dr. Sitapara on any changes to your medical history or current medications. About 20 minutes before the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin to ensure maximum comfort.

Our team will use a specialized microneedling device during the treatment to create millions of tiny microchannels in your skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing process. This step usually takes up to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You might experience a warming or scratching sensation and, in some cases, slight bleeding if deeper penetration is needed.

Microneedling Recovery

After your microneedling session with Dr. Jigar Sitapara, here’s what to keep in mind to ensure the best results. For the first 24 hours, avoid applying makeup or other cosmetic products. The tiny punctures in your skin are more susceptible to infection, and makeup can clog pores and irritate your skin.

Make sure to protect your skin from the sun by avoiding direct exposure and using a high-SPF sunscreen if you can’t stay in the shade after the first 24 hours. This helps prevent irritation and supports the healing process. Stick to a simplified skincare routine focused on hydration and moisturizing, avoiding active ingredients, acids, scrubs, and toners for at least seven days before resuming your normal routine.

For the first day, skip hot baths, showers, and hot tubs to prevent dryness and irritation. While you can go home right after the outpatient procedure, expect some redness and swelling that may last up to five days. Using an ice pack can help alleviate discomfort. Most people can resume wearing makeup two days after the procedure but continue to protect their skin from the sun until it’s fully healed.

But I haven’t gone to anyone else for BOTOX, filler, etc, since my first visit with Dr. Sitapara over three years ago. He consistently delivers amazing results and stands out for his “facial magic” and his warm and attentive demeanor.

  • I’ve had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Sitapara’s for several years now. I first met Dr. S at a consultation for BOTOX and fillers. I’ve always been afraid of looking overdone and having obvious work done, but that’s no longer a concern of mine. Dr. S provides natural but effective-looking results. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient with me and my 1 million questions! I highly recommend Dr. S and his team!
