How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling works with your skin’s healing response to remodel your complexion both at the surface and deep in the dermis, depending on the type of microneedling you choose. Your ZENA Medical provider uses tiny needles to create hundreds of thousands of controlled, heat-free micro-punctures in your skin that trigger your body’s healing process. The magic happens beneath the surface to firm skin with remodeled collagen, elastin, and new skin cells to replace what’s been damaged by time, the sun, and environmental toxins. The micro-channels also provide the opportunity to infuse highly nurturing skincare products for more robust results. After 4-6 treatments, your skin is tighter, smoother, more evenly toned, and more youthful.
Microneedling with Genius RF ups the ante by adding radiofrequency through the microneedles for deep collagen stimulation. Penetrating your skin to a very specific depth, the needles deliver the RF energy, bypassing the skin’s top layer so there’s no risk of hyperpigmentation. Texture and firmness improve significantly, reducing pore size and scarring. Genius RF microneedling minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, improves tone and texture, and overall tightens your skin in ways other treatments cannot achieve. 2-3 sessions over several months produce incredible rejuvenating results. In some cases, adding Infini, Profound, or Vivace laser energy can achieve the results you’re looking for.
Microneedling with PRP adds another layer of skin renewal to your face, neck, chest, or hands. Your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) recruits stem cells, which rush to the treatment area and become whatever cells your skin most needs. The level of collagen and elastin production as well as expedited healing gives an incredible boost with true, in depth improvement to skin’s laxity, tone and texture, and signs of aging. Your skin doesn’t just look and feel younger, it is younger, with stem cells that reverse age’s clock.
How Much Does Microneedling Cost?
Your skin’s condition largely determines the number of microneedling sessions you require to reach your cosmetic goals, which is a big factor in overall price. Dr. Zena’s Signature 4 methodology will help determine how best your skin should be treated, which can cut down on unnecessary products and procedures.
The average cost of microneedling with an aesthetician is between $300-$350, and with a physician, that rises to between $600-$800 thanks to the depth of needles and the expertise of your provider. The addition of PRP can add between $300-$500 to your cost. Most patients undergo between 3-6 sessions, making the overall range between $900-$7,800. Your specific cost will depend on your treatment plan’s complexity, geographical location, and provider experience.
