Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling Portland Service
Our Skin Rejuvenation Services
Have you ever dreamed of having smooth, flawless skin? Of course, you have, because let’s face it—who hasn’t?
While we all desire perfect skin aging, sun exposure, acne, and chronic skin disorders prevent this from ever becoming a reality. Not anymore- our Microneedling Portland services are changing the game in skin aesthetics.
Microneedling is a non-surgical rejuvenation technique that can transform your skin by inducing collagen formation. In addition, it rids your skin of wrinkles, stretch marks, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tones, giving you a fuller, more youthful appearance. Although typically used on the face, microneedling can be utilized on any part of your body.
What’s more, we offer a range of cosmetic procedures under one roof. If you are searching the internet for facial laser treatments or facial fillers to complement your appearance, look no further than Prime MedSpa PDX.

Microneedling With PRP
Many believe intrusive cosmetic procedures or surgeries are the only ways to improve their skin. This is simply not true! For instance, microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an entirely natural and effective way to accelerate skin healing. This can give you a look you have always dreamed of.
PRP contains platelet isolates and growth factors from your own blood. Together these factors regulate the deposition of collagen and elastin on your skin. In turn, this gives your skin the glow and unblemished appearance which you desire. In fact, studies show that PRP combined with microneedling not only enhances tissue repair but also minimizes pigmentation and acne scars.
What’s more, the results are immediate. This means you can flaunt your taut, smooth, flawless skin shortly after your treatment.
Your First Time
Microneedling, while simple and straightforward, is a delicate procedure. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, knowing what to expect can help calm the nerves. In addition, as the results are accumulative, you may need more than one treatment for desired results. Thus, the more information you have, the better.
The process begins when our specialist applies a topical anesthetic to the target area. This helps prevent any pain or discomfort. Next, using a variety of techniques, our expert will softly create micro punctures on your skin surface. The entire procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, depending on the extent of the treated area. Because of the skin stimulation, you can expect some redness after the procedure. Fortunately, this is minimal and goes away on its own, leaving behind radiant and soft skin.
We also gladly customize all our treatments and finely tweak our procedures to meet your specific goals. Nobody’s skin challenges are ever the same, and we believe in helping you discover a treatment plan that perfectly matches your vision.
Before
During
After
Before you book an appointment for microneedling, it is essential to understand how microneedling works.
Microneedling is a process that involves poking small holes in the skin’s surface. This, in turn, creates controlled “micro-injuries” that stimulate collagen formation and new skin cell growth. In other words, the goal of this treatment is to jump-start collagen production and speed up cell turnover.
Collagen is responsible for your skin’s youthful and smooth appearance. Yet, as we age, collagen production slows down, resulting in sagging or wrinkled skin. Further, collagen is also required for the skin’s healing process. As an adult, you may have noticed that your skin scars more easily than it did as a child. This is primarily due to a decrease in collagen production.
By promoting collagen production, microneedling addresses all this and more. It is so effective that even a single treatment can yield excellent results!
Microneedling is safe for patients of practically all ages and skin types. This is because it is minimally invasive and does not cause major damage to the skin.
However, erring on the side of caution, we recommend you consult your doctor before your microneedling procedure if:
• You are suffering from any active infection either at the target site or anywhere else in the body.
• You have open wounds, particularly in the treatment area.
• You are taking certain drugs (for example, Accutane or isotretinoin)
• You are due to undergo or recently completed radiation therapy
• You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or actively attempting to conceive
• You or close family members have a history of unusual scarring
There is no “healing” period or downtime with microneedling. This means you won’t have to miss work, as you would with typical cosmetic surgery.
However, because microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment, you will see some redness and swelling for a few days following your procedure. Fortunately, a little makeup can help conceal this after 24 hours post procedure.
In addition, expect some flaking in the first week following your procedure because microneedling can cause skin peeling. This is completely natural and will go away on its own. Remember, you mustn’t manually pull out flaky skin. Instead, allow it to fall off naturally. In any case, you can moisturize and apply a light exfoliant to promote speedier peeling.
Are you looking for a body contouring treatment to complement your freshly needled skin? Don’t worry; Prime MedSpa PDX has everything you are looking for and more!
It depends.
While you will most certainly notice some improvement after your first treatment, the best outcomes usually show up after three to six microneedling sessions. These are often spread out over several months. Further, you may need more sessions if you are particularly concerned about deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks, or acne scars.
Luckily, maintaining your results is easy. Following the initial round of microneedling treatments, you will only need a single session once a year. In other words, one quick session every 6 months is all you need!
Keep in mind that these are general estimates and may vary depending on your particular situation. For more personalized recommendations, please book a consultation with one of our experts today.

Microneedling is fast becoming a favorite of many in the aesthetic space. Used to improve skin health and appearance, this minimally invasive procedure is applicable on any part of the body—from the scalp to the ankles.
