What Is Microneedling?
If at-home skin treatments aren't delivering the results you want, but you're not ready for surgery, microneedling might be the ideal solution. At Ellaqua Aesthetics in Amityville, NY, we offer microneedling, including PRP microneedling (microneedling with platelet-rich plasma), to help improve skin texture, reduce imperfections, and promote a youthful appearance.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of a microneedling pen to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This treatment is highly effective for addressing acne scars, fine lines, large pores, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks. When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is derived from your own blood, microneedling can enhance healing and accelerate skin renewal for even more noticeable results.
How Does Microneedling Work?
At Ellaqua Aesthetics, microneedling and microneedling with PRP are performed in a comfortable treatment setting and typically take 30 – 60 minutes. A numbing cream is applied to ensure minimal discomfort. During the procedure, the microneedling pen is gently passed over the skin, creating tiny microchannels that stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
If PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is being used, a small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, which is rich in growth factors and healing properties. This concentrated PRP solution is then carefully applied to the treated areas immediately after microneedling. Because the skin's microchannels are open, PRP can penetrate deeply, accelerating the body's natural healing response and enhancing collagen and elastin production. This results in faster recovery, improved hydration, and a more even skin tone.
PRP microneedling is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to reduce acne scars, minimize deep wrinkles, and improve overall skin elasticity. PRP's powerful regenerative properties help boost cell turnover and tissue repair, making it an excellent option for those seeking long-term skin rejuvenation.
Microneedling aftercare includes applying a hydrating moisturizer and using UV protection to safeguard the skin and promote healing.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling and microneedling with PRP offer powerful skin-rejuvenating benefits by stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin texture. While microneedling enhances skin tone, reduces fine lines, and minimizes pores, PRP microneedling accelerates healing, improves hydration, and promotes deeper regeneration for more dramatic results.
Microneedling advantages include:
- Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
- Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores
- Minimizes hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and stretch marks
- Improves skin firmness and smoothness
The benefits of microneedling with PRP include:
- Enhances healing and skin regeneration with platelet-rich plasma
- Speeds up recovery time and reduces post-treatment redness
- Boosts hydration and skin elasticity for a more youthful appearance
- Provides more noticeable and long-lasting results compared to regular microneedling

I have to say this was the best experience I have had when it comes to fillers and Dysport. Tiffany is nothing short of amazing and is magician when it comes to these services. I received lip filler and dysport i’ve never been so happy with my lips. She made them look full and beautiful. She makes sure that you’re comfortable and completely numb before she starts the procedure. The office was very clean and relaxing. She has gained a loyal client for sure. Thank you Tiffany for putting a pep in my step!
