This is because texture like acne or traumatic scars are a result of your skin doing its best to heal without enough collagen and elastin to recreate a smooth surface. In order to smooth out and improve texture like scars or wrinkles, your skin needs to produce more of these two proteins to reinforce its structure.
Our most aggressive and transformative treatment for texture resurfacing is microneedling in LaSalle with SkinPen.
Before your treatment with SkinPen microneedling in LaSalle, you'll meet with a LIV Wellness Lounge provider for a complimentary skin consultation. We'll examine your skin, discuss your concerns, and learn about your goals for this treatment. After determining that microneedling is your best treatment option, we'll create a custom treatment plan for you that meets your skin's needs.
If your microneedling treatment is with PRP, we will first draw a small blood sample to extract the platelet-rich growth factors. Your provider will apply a topical numbing cream to prep your skin and ensure your comfort for the procedure. Next, they will use the SkinPen device across your skin. If receiving PRP, they will use this in conjunction with the microneedling treatment to deliver the proteins into your skin.
Microneedling stimulates your skin to begin healing itself, so results are progressive. There is no downtime for this treatment.

The combination of SkinPen microneedling and delivery of growth factors can produce better results.
For a series of microneedling treatments, we recommend you get microneedling every 4 to 6 weeks to allow adequate healing time between treatment sessions.
Since skin laxity is caused by a breakdown of skin structure due to loss of collagen and elastin, microneedling can help tighten skin by stimulating new production of these two proteins.
