What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This process stimulates your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Ideal for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone, microneedling promotes smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime. It’s a safe and effective solution for all skin types, tailored to help you achieve your specific skincare goals.
What are the different types of Microneedling?
Traditional Microneedling: This type of microneedling involves the use of a handheld device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, it effectively improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, minimizes acne scars, and tightens pores. Traditional microneedling is versatile and suitable for most skin types, offering noticeable improvements with minimal downtime.
RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency): RF microneedling combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy, which penetrates deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen production at a more profound level. This advanced treatment is particularly effective for tightening sagging skin, reducing deeper wrinkles, and addressing acne scars. The added thermal energy enhances results, making it a great choice for those seeking more dramatic skin rejuvenation.
Nano-Needling: Nano-needling is a gentler alternative to traditional microneedling, using smaller needles that don’t penetrate as deeply. It’s designed to enhance product absorption and stimulate the skin’s surface for a refreshed and hydrated appearance. Ideal for individuals with sensitive skin or those seeking maintenance treatments, nano-needling offers a quick, non-invasive option for a healthy glow.
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Often called the "vampire facial," this type of microneedling integrates platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood. The PRP is applied to the skin during the procedure to enhance healing, boost collagen production, and accelerate cell regeneration. This combination is ideal for achieving a radiant, youthful glow and addressing stubborn skin concerns, such as uneven tone, texture, and scarring.

Microneedling with Dr. Chow
The microneedling process with Dr. Chow begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin concerns, goals, and medical history. During this appointment, Dr. Chow will carefully examine your skin and discuss how microneedling can address issues such as fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, or enlarged pores. He takes the time to understand your unique needs and customize a treatment plan tailored to your goals, ensuring that you feel confident and well-informed before proceeding. Pre-treatment guidelines, such as avoiding certain skincare products, are also provided to prepare your skin for optimal results.
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Chow ensures a comfortable and professional experience in a calming environment. The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. Using a state-of-the-art microneedling device, Dr. Chow creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. Depending on your treatment plan, he may incorporate advanced techniques, such as RF microneedling for deeper rejuvenation or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to accelerate healing and enhance results. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated, and is designed to be efficient and minimally invasive.
Following the treatment, Dr. Chow provides detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and optimize your results. While mild redness or sensitivity may occur, these effects typically subside within a few days, leaving your skin visibly smoother and refreshed. Over the next few weeks, collagen production increases, improving the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Dr. Chow schedules follow-up appointments as needed to monitor your progress and discuss any additional sessions for optimal results. With his expertise and commitment to patient satisfaction, the microneedling process is as much about enhancing your skin as it is about providing exceptional care and guidance.
