What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled pricks on the surface of the skin. As a result, the skin becomes thicker, firmer, and more elastic.
At Capital Aesthetics, we do microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) this allows for superior and faster absorption by opening a vast number of micro-channels in the skin through the microscopic punctures. The aim of microneedling is to promote and accelerate wound healing and collagen production, which can improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and other blemishes. Microneedling can also be combined with PRP treatment.

Benefits of Microneedling
As hyaluronic acid is absorbed into the skin after microneedling, it helps add volume and provides the skin with nourishment. When paired with micro-needling, the repair process begins almost immediately resulting in softened wrinkles and scars.
This is one of the most powerful, non-surgical methods for treating a variety of skin issues such as scarring, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, wrinkles and lines. It also leaves your skin feeling refreshed and revitalized in the most natural way.
Microneedling helps your body generate more collagen, which is excellent for plump and supple skin. This treatment is great for improving overall skin texture and appearance as it triggers the body’s natural collagen production.

The Treatment Process
Microneedling is performed with a small, handheld device containing tiny needles. Our highly trained specialist will use the device to pass over the skin to create hundreds of micro-injuries, or micro-channels, in the skin. The tiny punctures will help stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process and boost promote collagen and elastin production. They also create micro-channels on the skin’s surface for greater absorption of serums. We will be using a Hyaluronic Acid serum during the treatment.
We advise that for the first week following the treatment, please avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, alcohol, smoking, caffeine, direct exposure to sunlight, strenuous exercise.
To maximize results after the treatment, please stay hydrated and avoid touching or washing your face for at least 8 hours. It is recommended to apply a sunscreen with SPF 40 or higher after treatment.
