Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production.

A: Both microneedling with PRP and PDO AfterGlo are minimally invasive procedures. During microneedling, your skin will be numbed, and tiny needles create micro-injuries to promote healing. For PDO AfterGlo, threads are inserted into the skin, which may cause a brief sensation of discomfort.

Improvements from microneedling with PRP usually begin to appear within a few weeks, with full results visible after 2-3 months. PDO AfterGlo offers immediate lifting effects, with further improvement seen as collagen continues to build over several months.

Each microneedling treatment usually takes about 30-60 minutes, including preparation and aftercare. PDO AfterGlo treatments typically last around 30-45 minutes.

Recovery time for microneedling with PRP is typically minimal, with some redness and mild swelling for a few days. PDO AfterGlo may cause slight bruising or swelling, but most people resume normal activities within a few days.

Common side effects for microneedling include redness, swelling, and minor discomfort. PDO AfterGlo may result in temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness. Both treatments have minimal risks, but a consultation will help determine if they are right for you.

The number of treatments varies based on individual goals and skin concerns. Typically, a series of 3-6 microneedling sessions is recommended for optimal results, while PDO AfterGlo may require fewer sessions depending on the desired outcome.

For hair loss, microneedling is generally recommended every 4-6 weeks. The frequency can vary based on individual needs and the advice of your practitioner.

You should wait at least 24 hours before washing your face to allow the skin to begin its healing process. Use gentle, non-irritating products to avoid disrupting the treatment area.

It’s best to wait at least 24-48 hours before applying makeup to ensure your skin has adequate time to heal and reduce the risk of irritation.

You should wait at least 24-48 hours before engaging in strenuous exercise to avoid excessive sweating and irritation of the treated area.

It’s generally recommended to wait at least 1-2 weeks after microneedling or PDO AfterGlo before getting Botox to allow your skin to fully heal.
