At Reflections Medspa & Wellness Center, we are here to guide you on a journey to smoother, healthier skin that reflects your true beauty.
Our Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Microneedling with PRP, also known as the “vampire facial,” is a rejuvenating treatment that combines the power of microneedling with the healing benefits of your own platelet-rich plasma. This dual approach begins with microneedling, which creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. We then apply your PRP, packed with growth factors that accelerate healing and repair. A smoother, more radiant complexion with a visible reduction in lines, wrinkles, and acne scars is the result. Microneedling with PRP is ideal for anyone seeking natural, long-lasting rejuvenation with minimal downtime. If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to enhance your skin’s health and glow, this treatment may be the perfect fit for you.
RF Microneedling
Take your skin care to the next level with RF microneedling. This advanced treatment combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to enhance collagen production and tighten skin more effectively. The radiofrequency heat penetrates deeper into the skin, helping to reduce wrinkles, improve elasticity, and address sagging, fine lines, or enlarged pores. RF microneedling is perfect for those looking to achieve a lifted, youthful appearance with minimal discomfort and downtime. If you’re ready for a dramatic transformation in skin texture and tone, this powerful treatment can help you achieve your skin goals.
Common Treatment Areas for Microneedling
Microneedling can be used on various body areas to address multiple skin concerns. Here are some common areas treated:
Face
Microneedling is particularly effective for treating facial skin issues such as lines, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. The treatment accelerates collagen production, which helps your skin become smoother, younger, and more radiant.
Neck and Décolletage
For individuals concerned about sagging or sun damage, microneedling can rejuvenate the delicate skin of the neck and chest, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Hands
Microneedling on the hands can restore youthful skin by reducing age spots, wrinkles, and sun damage, leading to smoother, younger-looking hands.
Stretch Marks
Microneedling is highly effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks. It stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and helping you feel more confident in your skin.
Scalp
For those dealing with thinning hair, microneedling can promote hair growth by stimulating blood vessels in the scalp, improving circulation, and enhancing the absorption of hair growth treatments.

What to Expect During a Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a simple yet highly effective procedure designed to improve the appearance of your skin. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation
A Reflections Medspa & Wellness Center consultation allows our team to evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and determine if microneedling is right for you. We’ll take the time to understand your concerns and create a customized treatment plan that suits your needs.
Prep
Topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before the procedure begins to ensure your comfort. You’ll feel at ease throughout the treatment process.
Microneedling Treatment
A specialized device with tiny needles gently rolls over your skin during the procedure. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, which gradually improves the texture and appearance of your skin over time.
Post-Treatment Care
Once the treatment is complete, your skin may be slightly red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. Post-treatment care is very important when it comes to making sure you get the best results. Following aftercare instructions is critical to prevent complications like prolonged healing, irritation, or suboptimal results. This includes using recommended soothing products, avoiding sun exposure, and staying hydrated to support healing.
Ideal Candidate for Microneedling
Microneedling is perfect for improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It’s especially beneficial for those with fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, or stretch marks. However, it’s important to explore alternative treatments if you’re currently facing any skin infections or open wounds. To determine if microneedling is the right choice, schedule a consultation at Reflections Medspa & Wellness Center. We’re here to help guide you through the process and restore your skin to its best state.
