SkinPen® Microneedling Treatment In Kansas City
SkinPen® Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These controlled punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. The result is fresher, younger-looking skin.
How Does It Work?
During a microneedling session, a specialized device equipped with fine needles is gently applied to the skin, creating microscopic channels. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s repair mechanisms, leading to the regeneration of new tissue.
As the skin heals, collagen and elastin fibers are produced, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. Over time, this process reduces the appearance of scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a smoother and more even complexion.

Supercharge Your Microneedling Results with PRP & PRF
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy takes microneedling to the next level. This advanced treatment uses a concentrated serum derived from your own blood to accelerate healing and amplify collagen production. PRP is rich in growth factors that:
Speed up skin regeneration and repair
Enhance collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
Improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars
Reduce inflammation and promote a healthy, radiant complexion
By incorporating PRP with your microneedling treatment, you can expect faster recovery and even more dramatic, long-lasting results.
PRF: The Next Generation of Skin Rejuvenation
For those looking for an even more potent skin-rejuvenation treatment, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) offers a more natural and longer-lasting alternative to PRP. PRF is created using a slower centrifugation process, preserving more white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin, which extend the release of growth factors over time. PRF provides:
A sustained release of healing properties for longer-lasting benefits
A more natural, holistic approach to skin rejuvenation
Enhanced skin texture, hydration, and elasticity
PRF is perfect for those seeking an advanced, regenerative treatment to complement their microneedling sessions for optimal skin renewal.
Preparing for Treatment
Before undergoing microneedling, it is essential to consult with a qualified skincare professional to assess your skin’s condition and determine the appropriate treatment plan. In the days leading up to the procedure, avoid excessive sun exposure and discontinue the use of retinoids or other potent skincare products that may increase skin sensitivity. Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. Your practitioner may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort during the session.
The Right Provider Makes All the Difference
Selecting the right provider for microneedling is crucial to ensuring a successful and safe outcome. If not performed correctly, microneedling can lead to unwanted side effects such as prolonged redness, irritation, or even pigmentation issues.
