I got my face microneedled and i’m here to tell you all about it!! (disclosure: I received a discount on the procedure in exchange for posting about my experience) i’ve been wanting to do microneedling for the longest time to address my acne scarring, so I finally took the plunge and did my first treatment at @amicimedspa last week. if you’re not familiar with microneedling, it’s a minimally invasive procedure that punctures the skin with very tiny needles to stimulate your body’s healing response in the form of collagen and elastin. in my case, this will fill in the pitted scars I have from past acne breakouts. here’s basically how it went down: + since I opted to get it done with PRP, protein-rich plasma, @nursenikki_stl drew a small vial of my blood and put it in a machine to separate out the plasma + while we were waiting on that, @stl.esthi put numbing cream on my face and let it marinate + once my plasma was good to go, kelsey wiped off the numbing cream one section at a time and microneedled away, massaging in the plasma along the way + I went home with some aftercare instructions and skincare to use for the next few days! this was a relatively quick procedure with minimal discomfort (the forehead felt a lil spicy since the skin is thinner there, but even that was like a 2 on a scale of 10). my body is starting to whip up some collagen and elastin as we speak, and i’ll start seeing results in several weeks. i’ve also already got my next appointment scheduled, since most people need at least a few sessions. if you have any questions at all about microneedling, @amicimedspa, etc, drop em below! #microneedling #microneedlingbeforeandafter #microneedlingtherapy #microneedlingtreatment #microneedlingfacial #vampirefacial #vampirefacials #skinpen #skinpenmicroneedling #skinpenprp #skinpentreatment #microneedlingfacial #microneedlingwithprp #microneedlingprp #amicimedspa #stl #stlspa #stlmedspa #stlfacials #stlaesthetician #stlouismedspa #acnescarring #acnescarremoval #acnescarringtreatment #acnescars #acnescarsremoval #acnescarstreatment #acnescartreatment #prpfacial #prpmicroneedling
