Portland, Maine Microneedling: Get Radiant Skin!

---

What is microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves introducing a serum into the skin by puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles which signal to the body to produce more collagen and elastin. It’s these two proteins that give the skin its firmness and elasticity, leading to rejuvenation and improvement in skin texture and appearance.

Microneedling is commonly used to treat:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Large pores
• Uneven skin tone
• Stretch marks
• General skin rejuvenation

What serum or product will be microneedled?

There are many different products that can be microneedled but at MOTOX skin science we use Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Plant Derived Extracellular Nanoparticles (PDEN), and/or PDO Afterglo.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Often called the “Liquid Gold” of regenerative medicine, PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing and collagen production.

How It Works:

1. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
2. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet rich plasma.
3. The PRP is applied topically onto the skin during the microneedling procedure.

Benefits of PRP with Microneedling:

• Speeds up healing and recovery time
• Enhances collagen production for longer lasting results
• Improves skin elasticity and hydration

Plant Derived Extracellular Nanoparticles (PDEN)

PDENs are cutting edge regenerative products derived from plant based stem cells. They contain potent growth factors and signaling molecules to amplify the skin’s natural healing response.

Benefits of PDENs:

• Boosts collagen and elastin production
• Reduces inflammation and redness
• Accelerates skin renewal and healing
• Improves skin brightness and elasticity

Why Choose PDENs?

If you have a contraindication for the use of PRP, or do not want a blood draw, PDENs are a great alternative for those looking for advanced skin rejuvenation. 

PDO AfterGlo

PDO AfterGlo is a unique serum infused with polydioxanone (PDO), a biodegradable material that stimulates collagen production. This can be done alone, or in addition to PRP/PDENs.

How It Works:

During the microneedling session, PDO AfterGlo is applied to the skin, allowing the serum to penetrate deeply through the microchannels created by the device. The PDO particles encourage fibroblast activity, which enhances skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Benefits of PDO AfterGlo:

• Improves skin firmness and elasticity
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Provides a radiant, glowing complexion
• Long lasting collagen stimulation

Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)

PDGF is made from recombinant technology and is up to 300,000 times more potent than PRP. While PRP can give great results, because PRP varies so much from person to person, one can never predict or promise a result. However, when using PDGF there is a constant number of growth factor and therefore a more reliable and oftentimes dramatic outcome.
