Microneedling 101
Everything You Need to Know About This Tiny-but-Mighty Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
You’ve probably heard the buzz about microneedling—maybe your best friend swears by it, or you’ve seen the flawless post-treatment glow on your favorite beauty influencer. But what is microneedling, really? And why does Wild & Beautiful use the DP4 microneedling pen from Dp Derm, one of the most advanced microneedling devices out there?
Settle in, because we’re about to break it all down in a way that’s as fun as it is informative. Let’s talk skin transformation, tiny needles, and our favorite glow-boosting add-ons.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is the skincare equivalent of a going to the gym for your face. Using super fine, medical-grade needles, this treatment creates controlled micro-injuries that kickstart your body's natural healing process, resulting in:
✔️ Increased collagen and elastin production (a.k.a. the holy grail of youthful skin)
✔️ Improved skin texture and tone
✔️ Reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars
✔️ Better absorption of skincare products (because who wants their pricey serums to just sit on top of their skin?)
Basically, microneedling is the real MVP when it comes to skin rejuvenation.
Why We Use the DP4 Microneedling Pen from Dp Derm
Not all microneedling devices are created equal. At Wild & Beautiful, we only use the DP4 microneedling pen from Dp Derm, and here’s why:
✨ Four-needle technology: More precise, faster, and more efficient than older devices.
✨ Less discomfort, better results: The DP4 is designed to treat the skin at an optimal depth for collagen induction without excessive trauma.
✨ Customizable depths: We can target different concerns—shallow for brightening and texture, deeper for scars and fine lines.
Translation? You get smoother, firmer, glowier skin with less downtime and better results.
The Best Microneedling Add-Ons to Maximize Results and Reduce Down Time
Sure, microneedling alone is a powerhouse. But if you’re going for next-level skin rejuvenation, you need to consider these add-ons.
✨ PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) – The Natural Anti-Aging Boost
If you’ve heard of the “vampire facial,” PRF is like its more sophisticated, longer-lasting cousin. PRF is derived from your own blood (yes, really) and is packed with growth factors that accelerate healing, boost collagen, and improve skin tone and texture.
Why we love it:
✔️ 100% natural—no additives, just your body’s own healing magic.
✔️ Works wonders for fine lines, acne scars, and dull skin.
✔️ Speeds up recovery time post-microneedling.
Think of PRF as giving your skin a double dose of youth in a vial.
✨ Exosomes – The Future of Skin Rejuvenation
If PRF is Mother Nature’s gift to skin, exosomes are the futuristic breakthrough you didn’t know you needed. These tiny but powerful cellular messengers work at a deep, regenerative level to boost skin repair, hydration, and collagen synthesis.
Why we’re obsessed:
✔️ Reduces redness and speeds up healing (because who has time to wait?).
✔️ Supercharges collagen production—even more than PRF alone.
✔️ Leaves skin plumper, smoother, and glowing faster.
If PRF is like a high-powered natural boost, exosomes take it to a whole new level, delivering more hydration, anti-inflammatory benefits, and longer-lasting results.
What to Expect During and After Your Microneedling Session
Wondering what actually happens when you book a microneedling session at Wild & Beautiful? Here’s the play-by-play:
1️⃣ We cleanse and prep your skin. (Clean slate, baby!)
2️⃣ A topical numbing cream is applied. You’ll chill for about 30 minutes while it kicks in.
3️⃣ We use the DP4 microneedling pen to work its magic. This takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
4️⃣ If you’ve added PRF or exosomes, we’ll apply them post-treatment so they absorb into the freshly microneedled skin for maximum effectiveness.
5️⃣ You’ll leave with some redness (think mild sunburn vibes), which fades within 24-48 hours.
Post-Treatment Tips:
✔️ Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
✔️ Skip sweaty workouts for a day.
✔️ Stay out of the sun and use SPF religiously.
✔️ Expect some dryness and mild flaking—your new skin is on its way!
