Explore the Benefits of Microneedling in NJ for Your Skin:
- Reduces Superficial Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The boost in collagen and elastin can make skin appear more youthful, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Improves Scars: Microneedling is proven to diminish the look of acne scars and other types of scarring by breaking down old tissue and triggering collagen production for new, healthier skin.
- Tightens Loose Skin: As it stimulates collagen production, microneedling can tighten loose skin, which is often a result of aging or weight loss.
- Enhances Skin Texture and Tone: By promoting the regeneration of skin cells, microneedling can improve the overall texture and tone of your skin, making it feel smoother and look more even.
- Reduces the Appearance of Pores: The process can also make pores appear smaller by stimulating collagen in and around your pores.
- Improves the Effectiveness of Topical Products: After microneedling, the microchannels in the skin are open. Now skin can absorb skincare products more efficiently, enhancing their effectiveness.
- Treats Stretch Marks and Cellulite: Though primarily used on the face, microneedling can also be effective on other parts of the body, helping reduce the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite.
- Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime: Unlike many cosmetic procedures, microneedling is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for people with busy schedules.
- Safe for Most Skin Types: When performed by a qualified professional, microneedling is safe for almost all skin types and colors.
- Can Help with Hair Loss: Studies have now shown that microneedling can also promote hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp and boosting the delivery of nutrients to hair follicles.
- Improves Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage: It can help reduce the look of dark spots and sun damage by accelerating cell turnover and increasing melanin breakdown in the treated areas, especially when combined with active serums and melanin reducing pharmaceuticals.
It’s important to note that the benefits of microneedling can vary depending on the individual’s skin type, the severity of the skin issues being treated, and the professional’s expertise. Always ensure that the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner to minimize risks and achieve the best results.

Types of Micro-needling procedures at Anara Medspa
- Regular Micro-needling: This is the simplest form that uses single-use disposable cartridges with sterile needles. The cartridge is attached to a motor that drives the needles to specific depths and speeds. This produces desired micro-injuries.
- RF Micro-needling (Radiofrequency): This is a more sophisticated form of micro-needling that uses a specialized needle-cartridge with electronic computer chip connected to the main console. In addition to tiny arrays of mechanical pin-point injuries, this device also deposits heat at the desired depth, up to 3.5 mm. Three mechanisms are at play here: mechanical, heat and activated platelets. You could consider this as Micro-needling on steroids. The depth of the needle and the amount of heat deposited can all be controlled. Some of the devices that use this technology include, Fractora®, Infini®, SkinRenew® etc. This procedure addresses skin texture, collage production, scar-improvement and skin tightening.
- PRP Facial with Micro-needling: Here either a regular Micro-needling or RF Micro-needling is used along with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), harvested from your own blood. Hence this gives boost of growth factors, being driven into the depths of the skin by the Micro-needling process. PRP Facial can be done once in 3-4 months for a sustained long-lasting results.
Professional Microneedling Process at Anara Medspa
Micro-needling is a well-established and popular cosmetic procedure at Anara Medspa. It is also known as collagen induction therapy. The procedure involves using a special medical device with an array of very thin sterile needles that move up and down vertically and rapidly. Usually, it feels like sanding or microdermabrasion. This process produces intentional micro injuries on the target skin. The depth and speed can be adjusted precisely. By producing these micro-injuries, this process tricks the body into initiating a healing response. The pinpoint bleeding that is induced makes the platelets in the blood get activated, which in turn releases various substances called, growth factors. These growth factors attract the stem cells in the area, which have the specific ability to make new collagen, skin cells, and blood vessels.
Aftercare Tips for Your Skin Microneedling Treatment
- Keep the Skin Clean: Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to clean the face for the first 72 hours after the procedure. Avoid using anything abrasive or containing active ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or retinol.Avoid abrasive brushes like Clarisonic.
- Apply Recommended Products: Your practitioner at Anara Medspa may recommend or prescribe a serum or healing ointment after the procedure. These are typically aimed at calming the skin and should be applied as directed.
- Hydrate Your Skin: Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer. Proper hydration can aid in the healing process. Avoid dry skin especially in the first 5-7 days.
- Avoid Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 48 hours after the procedure to prevent clogging the micro-wounds, and preventing contamination of the open channels.
- Protect Your Skin from the Sun: Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun post-procedure, so apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher daily. It’s best to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible for the first week after the treatment.
- Don’t Pick or Exfoliate: Your skin may flake or peel after microneedling, but it’s important not to pick at it or use exfoliants. Sometimes it might look like fine sand-like flakiness.
- Stay Cool: Avoid activities that induce sweating, saunas, or steam rooms for the first 72 hours post-procedure to prevent irritation and bacteria growth.
- Avoid Certain Skincare Products: For at least a week after the procedure, avoid using products containing harsh chemicals, retinoids, or acids as these can irritate the skin. Make sure to show all your existing skincare to the practitioner.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help your skin heal and regenerate more efficiently. All of us could do with drinking extra water daily.
- Sleep on Your Back: Try to sleep on your back to avoid putting pressure on your face that could irritate the treated areas.
- Avoid being licked by your pets for the first 5-7 days after the procedure. Pets’ saliva can have very harmful bacteria and can cause infection of the compromised skin.
- Follow Up with Your Practitioner: If you have any concerns or notice any unusual reactions after the procedure, contact your practitioner. They may provide advice or adjustments to your aftercare routine.
Remember, aftercare may vary slightly depending on the specifics of your procedure, the area treated, and your skin type. Always follow the specific aftercare advice given by your practitioner to ensure the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling in NJ
We use a prescription strength numbing cream. In addition, we also offer optional laughing gas (nitrous oxide) and oxygen mixture. This makes the process more comfortable.
Micro-needling has minimal to no down time based on the depth and intensity. There may be some dryness and fine flakiness for less than a week, which is normal. Since we are stimulating the production of collagen and new skin, the results are not immediate. Most people start to see the results in about 2-3 weeks and further improvement continues for several months.
We recommend about 4 sessions series done once monthly. Some conditions like scars might need more sessions. After this, to maintain and enhance the long term benefits we recommend one treatment once in 3-4 months.
The devices that are sold directly to consumers are not powerful enough and cannot penetrate beyond the epidermis. It might produce some exfoliation but nothing beyond that. Some of the rollers can scratch the skin due to uneven pressure and might result in scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Be Patient with Results: While some effects can be seen immediately, the full benefits of microneedling are typically visible after several weeks, as collagen production increases over time. In most cases multiple sessions will be required to see substantial benefits.
Most body areas can be treated with microneedling except where there is thin skin like under eyes, eyebrows and sensitive areas like genitals.
All minimally invasive and invasive cosmetic procedures have inherent risk of side effects. This can include redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation, and even scarring. The latter side effects can be minimized by strictly following the pre-procedure precautions and aftercare instructions.
- Active Acne or Skin Infections: Microneedling can spread bacteria across the skin, worsening conditions like acne or triggering new infections.
- Active Herpes Lesions: Individuals with active cold sores or herpes simplex virus should avoid microneedling until the lesions have healed, as the procedure can exacerbate or spread the condition. In those who are prone to cold sores, antiviral prescription medication will have to be started a few days before the procedure
- Skin Conditions: Conditions such as active eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea in the area to be treated can be exacerbated by microneedling.
- Wounds, Cuts, or Abrasions: Any open lesions on the skin need to heal before undergoing microneedling.
- Keloid or Hypertrophic Scarring: Individuals prone to keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring may experience scarring from the microneedling. Interestingly microneedling is also used to treat normal scarring.
- Recent Radiation Therapy or Chemotherapy: Patients who have undergone radiation therapy to the skin within the last year are advised against microneedling due to increased sensitivity and compromised skin integrity.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: While there is no direct evidence that microneedling is harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding, the lack of clinical studies means practitioners generally advise against it as a precaution. But this is not an absolute contraindication.
- Blood Thinners: Medications that thin the blood, including over-the-counter options like aspirin, can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising from the procedure.
- Active Skin Cancer: Patients with active skin cancer in the area to be treated should not undergo microneedling.
- Immunosuppression: Individuals with weakened immune systems, either due to conditions like HIV/AIDS or medications like prolonged oral steroid medication or chemotherapy, may have a higher risk of infection following the procedure.
- Recent Accutane Use: Those who have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the last six months may have increased skin sensitivity and hence are at a higher risk of adverse effects.
- Severe Solar Keratosis: This condition involves thick, scaly, or crusty patches on the skin due to long-term sun exposure and should be evaluated before considering microneedling. Other modalities may have to be considered first.
It’s important to have a thorough consultation and assessment with a qualified healthcare provider.
