Does your skin feel dull, uneven, or marked by acne scars or fine lines that just won’t go away? At Bella NYC Aesthetics in Great Neck, NY, we understand how discouraging it can be when skincare products don’t deliver real results. That’s why we’re here to guide you through a proven, effective solution—microneedling with PRP—to help your skin heal and renew from within. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the skin by triggering its natural healing processes. At Bella NYC Aesthetics, we enhance the benefits of microneedling treatment by incorporating platelet-rich plasma (PRP), making the results even more powerful. The benefits of microneedling with PRP include improving skin tone, minimizing scarring, and reducing signs of aging.
At Bella NYC Aesthetics, microneedling in Great Neck, NY, is performed with advanced precision to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and clarity. The treatment involves gliding a medical-grade microneedling pen across your skin to create micro-channels. These channels activate the body’s wound-healing response and stimulate collagen and elastin production. To further enhance results, PRP is introduced. The platelet-rich plasma in your blood is separated in a centrifuge by spinning small amounts of blood. This golden, nutrient-dense fluid is either applied topically or injected directly into target areas, resulting in accelerated healing, smoother skin, and a radiant glow.
For clients with deeper skin concerns, such as scars or sagging, we also offer RF Microneedling in Great Neck, NY, which combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy for deeper penetration and collagen remodeling.
Prior to your appointment, avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks. Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, and chemical peels 3–5 days in advance. We also recommend staying well-hydrated and avoiding alcohol 24 hours before the treatment.
To ensure your comfort, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. The microneedling facial begins as the device creates micro-punctures across your skin’s surface. Then, PRP is either massaged onto your skin or injected into areas like the under-eyes, cheeks, or acne scars for enhanced rejuvenation. Most treatments take about 60–90 minutes in total.
It is common to experience mild redness and swelling, which usually subsides after 24 to 48 hours. During recovery, avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, makeup, and excessive sun exposure. Use gentle cleansers and apply sunscreen diligently to protect your skin.
For best results, we recommend a series of 3–4 microneedling sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. It’s recommended to undergo maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months in order to prolong the results and maintain the skin’s health. Delaying maintenance may cause results to fade and require restarting your treatment cycle. Our team works with you to design a personalized, proactive skincare strategy. Whether you’re targeting acne scars, fine lines, or exploring microneedling for stretch marks, our team will design a personalized plan to meet your skin goals.
Microneedling with PRP effectively addresses fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and even stretch marks. It also improves overall skin texture and firmness.
It is common for clients to experience minimal discomfort because of the numbing cream that is applied beforehand. The procedure is well-tolerated and feels like light tapping or a slight prickling sensation.
Many clients notice changes in skin tone and radiance within a week, with full results appearing over several weeks as collagen builds. Results can last several months and are best maintained with periodic sessions.
There is little to no downtime. After a post-treatment redness or mild swelling is gone, clients can return to their normal activities with proper sun protection.
There are no significant side effects, but temporary redness, sensitivity, and swelling may occur. These effects typically resolve quickly. The possibility of serious side effects is extremely rare when a trained professional performs the procedure.
The microneedling procedure is safe for most skin types and tones. This treatment is ideal for people who want to reduce the appearance of early signs of aging, acne scars, or uneven skin tone. A consultation at Bella NYC Aesthetics will help determine if it’s right for you.
