Enhance your skins health
Microneedling works by creating tiny, controlled punctures in your skin which stimulate your body's own natural healing process. Using an incredibly fine microneedle, the process stimulates your body's own repair mechanisms. At Viata Aesthetics and Wellness microneedling is an effective way to treat scar tissue and pore size in a way that leaves the underlying structure of your skin intact and enhances skin health.

What is microneedling?
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a treatment method that uses tiny needles to puncture the skin to a certain depth. These controlled injuries trigger the body’s production of collagen. The collagen fills the holes made by the needles, resulting in healthier, younger-looking skin. Microneedling has been around for over a century.
The first recorded use was in 1905 by a German dermatologist. The device relied on burs used in dentistry of various sizes, mounted on motor-driven flexible cord equipment. There is even some evidence that a form of microneedling was used in ancient China. The procedure we know today as microneedling was pioneered in Canada in the late 1990s. It has become a gentle and versatile treatment for reducing the signs of aging and the appearance of scars, including those caused by acne. We cannot halt the process of time, but we can certainly take advantage of treatments that can make us look our best. Microneedling is a safe, effective, and quick procedure that helps address general scarring as well as the general texture and tone of your skin.
Microneedling Procedure
Microneedling Procedure
It is clinically proven to safely and effectively treat facial acne scars for ages 22 and up. After administering a topical anesthetic, your Viata microneedling specialist can adjust the speed and depth of the needle penetration it slides over the surface of the area being treated.
The needles penetrate the skin, creating hundreds of near-microscopic channels through the epidermis. Those channels stimulate the body’s own production of collagen and elastin as the skin heals from those tiny needle punctures. Many clinics and salons still use derma rollers to penetrate the skin. The needles on these devices offer only one depth and because they penetrate the skin at an angle, they are more likely to cause more epidermal damage than needed. Patients need additional recovery time as a result. By offering microneedling treatments with Cosmo Pen, Viata Aesthetics and Wellness can deliver better results with faster recovery times than derma rollers.
Microneedling with platelet-
Rich fibrin (prf)
Microneedling with PRF stimulates the skin on numerous levels by boosting cell renewal and promoting collagen and elastin formation.The microneedling with PRF process is similar to traditional microneedling, only with the addition of platelet-rich fibrin to the treatment area. PRF is harvested from your body by taking a small vial of blood and purifying it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin. That PRF is then applied to the treatment area during the microneedling procedure. Generally, patients who choose to add PRF to their microneedling experience a faster recovery and more noticeable results. During your consultation for microneedling skincare specialists at Viata will discuss adding PRF to your procedure.
Microneedling with platelet-
Rich Plasma (prp)
Also known as a “vampire facial”, microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to augment the effectiveness of microneedling through the addition of the healing properties of your own blood.

Difference Between-
Platelet-rich fibrin (prf) and Platelet rich plasma (prp)
With PRP, your blood is spun in a centrifuge at high speed, completely separating the plasma layer. With PRF your blood is spun at a lower speed so that some of the white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin remain in the platelet layer. Viata Aesthetics and Wellness use PRF for its higher concentration of platelets and growth factors compared to PRP, leading to enhanced tissue regeneration and faster healing. PRF also triggers more blood flow, which essentially gets better results than PRP. PRF spreads more slowly when administered, which means that the body is able to take advantage of the growth factors more efficiently. PRP releases growth factors for a few hours and PRF releases them for up to a week. This slow release is thought to have more robust, longer-lasting results.
Microneedling
Candidates
When you are young, your skin is smooth and supple and contains connective tissue that holds large amounts of elastin and collagen floating in a sea of hyaluronic acid. Elastin provides the strength and elasticity of your skin. Collagen provides firmness and support. As you age, these proteins break down. It takes your skin longer to recover from any damage. If you answered yes to any of these questions, our microneedling treatments may be right for you.
Here are some questions to ask yourself if you are considering microneedling:
- Do you have acne scars?
- Would you like the texture of your skin to be smoother?
- Do you worry about rough patches or uneven skin tone?
- Are you noticing more spots from aging or from the sun?
- Are you noticing fine lines and wrinkles becoming more visible?

Microneedling Faqs
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING TREATMENT?
A topical numbing cream is applied to the area to be treated. Treatment time is about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated and what the patient requests in the way of treatment. Some patients report feeling a slight vibration from the microneedling pen while it is being applied.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE TREATMENT?
Most patients have some slight swelling and redness for a few days after the treatment. Some experience only a day of redness. It really depends on each patient.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM MY MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT?
Each patient heals differently, but in most cases, patients see significant reduction in redness and swelling in the first day or two following treatment. Most patients requirelittle to no downtime and can completely cover up any sign of the treatment with make- up the day after the procedure.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT LAST?
The length of time the microneedling treatment lasts is dependent on the underlying issue that caused the damage in the first place. For scars, results are usually permanent. Those issues caused by aging will eventually reappear. However, unlike some procedures, you can have additional treatments without building up scar tissue.
