Fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture — these skin concerns can quietly chip away at your confidence, even when everything else in life feels good. The great news is that your skin has an incredible ability to heal itself, and microneedling is one of the most effective solutions to activate that process.
At Ivy Aesthetics and Wellness Center in Williamsburg, VA, Dr. William Gartlan, DO, delivers physician-led microneedling treatments with the precision, safety, and personalized attention that only a medical practice can provide.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling — also called collagen induction therapy — uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the surface of the skin. These tiny channels trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, this leads to firmer, smoother, and more even-toned skin.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling is one of the most versatile treatments in skin rejuvenation. It can improve a wide range of concerns, including:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Acne scars and surgical scars
-
Uneven skin tone and texture
-
Enlarged pores
-
Stretch marks
-
Dull or tired-looking skin
Microneedling with PRF
Ivy Aesthetics and Wellness Center offers microneedling with or without Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). PRF is derived from a small sample of your own blood and is packed with growth factors that support healing and collagen renewal. When paired with microneedling, PRF is applied topically and absorbed through the micro-channels in the skin — amplifying results and speeding up recovery. Dr. Gartlan will help you decide during your consultation whether standard microneedling or the PRF enhancement is the right fit for your goals.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Microneedling is safe for most skin types and tones, making it one of the most inclusive skin rejuvenation options available. It works well for adults who want to address early signs of aging, improve the appearance of scars, or refresh their overall complexion. If you’re exploring a broader approach to skin health, microneedling pairs well with other treatments offered in our skin rejuvenation services at Ivy Aesthetics and Wellness Center.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation to review your skin concerns and customize your treatment. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to keep you comfortable throughout. The microneedling device is then passed across the skin, creating thousands of micro-channels in a controlled, precise pattern. Most sessions take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the area treated.
Recovery and Results
After treatment, you can expect mild redness and sensitivity for 24 to 72 hours — similar to a light sunburn. Most patients return to their normal routine within a day or two. Results develop gradually as your skin’s collagen production increases, with many patients seeing noticeable improvement after a single session and optimal results following a series of treatments.
What Is PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a regenerative treatment prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The sample is processed to concentrate platelets, fibrin, and naturally occurring growth factors that play a role in the body’s healing and tissue-repair processes.
PRF is used in aesthetic treatments to support the skin’s natural renewal processes and may help improve the appearance of skin texture and fine lines over time. Because it is prepared from your own blood, PRF offers a personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.
How Does PRF Complement Microneedling?
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled channels in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and encourage collagen production.
When PRF is added to microneedling, it is applied to the treated skin to complement this process. This combination may be an option for patients looking to address uneven texture, fine lines, acne scars, and other skin concerns.
Microneedling with PRF vs. PRF Under-Eye Injections
Although both treatments use PRF, they are performed differently and address different concerns.
Microneedling with PRF focuses on overall skin rejuvenation. PRF is applied to the skin in conjunction with microneedling, making it an option for patients interested in improving skin texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines.
PRF Under-Eye Injections deliver PRF directly into the targeted under-eye area rather than applying it during microneedling. This treatment may be considered for patients concerned about fine lines, delicate or crepey skin, and certain age-related changes around the eyes.
Results vary, and PRF is not appropriate for every under-eye concern. During your consultation, your provider can evaluate your skin, discuss realistic expectations, and help determine which treatment may be most appropriate for your goals.
