Regenerative Microneedling

The Experience: A highly effective treatment for acne scarring, reducing pore size, and improving overall skin texture. Many doctors’ offices and med spas combine microneedling with radiofrequency, which leads to a higher price, more discomfort, and greater downtime. At CONTŌR, we utilize the latest regenerative biotechnology, like growth factors and PRP, to minimize downtime and enhance results.

For Best Results: we recommend at least 3 treatments performed 4-6 weeks apart, followed by a maintenance treatment every 6-12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regenerative microneedling at CONTŌR involves using a pen-like device with very small needles to penetrate the skin’s surface up to 2.5mm deep. This microtrauma triggers a natural immune response that increases blood flow, starts the creation of new tissue and improves collagen and elastin production. Microneedling is fantastic for overall skin health, reducing fine lines, and acne scarring. At CONTŌR, our standard microneedling treatment involves application of growth factors to speed up healing and minimize downtime. For even better results, we can utilize your body’s own growth factors via PRP or PRFM (also known as a Vampire Facial).

A few hours after treatment, the skin may appear quite red, but the redness usually disappears after 24-48 hours. The skin may be pink and flaky for up to 5 days after treatment, but no downtime is required for our microneedling treatments. At CONTŌR, we utilize growth factors to speed up healing and minimize downtime.

Within a few days of regenerative microneedling at CONTŌR, acne scars are minimized and skin appears more smooth and radiant.  You will continue to see improving results for 4-6 weeks as a long-term collagen remodeling process occurs. To continue the collagen remodeling process for even longer term results, check out our microneedling packages. These consist of 3-4 sessions spaced around 4 weeks apart.
