Microneedling Facial in the Upper East Side, NYC

If you’re looking to improve fine lines, texture, acne scars, or early signs of aging on the face, neck, or chest, you may be an ideal candidate for a microneedling facial. In the Upper East Side, NYC, Dr. Akis uses PRP and PRF from your own blood to naturally accelerate healing and collagen stimulation—minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.

Most skin types and tones tolerate treatment well, as it does not rely on formulas your body won’t recognize. Dr. Akis can assess your skin and goals to determine if PRP or PRF microneedling is the most restorative option for you.

You must be 18 or older to be a candidate for a PRP or PRF microneedling facial in the Upper East Side, NYC.

At Aion Aesthetics, we use PRP and PRF to take your results from a microneedling facial in the Upper East Side, NYC, further. We collect PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) from a sample of your blood, separating them from that sample by spinning it in a centrifuge.

Both forms of platelets support skin healing, but PRF contains more white blood cells and stem cells, releasing growth factors at a slower rate than PRP. Typically, PRP provides more noticeable results in less time than PRF, but requires a bit more maintenance. Based on your unique skin anatomy, goals, and timeline, Dr. Akis will help you decide between PRP and PRF for your microneedling facial in the Upper East Side, NYC.

Dr. Akis can deliver PRP or PRF through injections or a microneedling facial in the Upper East Side, NYC. While both methods enhance skin renewal and collagen production, they work in slightly different ways.

Typically, Dr. Akis recommends PRP or PRF injections to target smaller, more specific areas, such as under-eye hollows and smile lines. If you struggle with overall texture, tone, or scarring, we may recommend a PRP or PRF microneedling facial.

In the Upper East Side, NYC, we treat your skin with the personalized care it deserves, creating a plan that aligns with your unique goals. Neither is universally more effective than the other, and in some cases, we may even combine injections and microneedling.

Most clients notice improvements within 4 weeks of their first microneedling facial in the Upper East Side, NYC, especially when combined with PRP or PRF. However, Dr. Akis typically recommends a series of 3 to 4 treatments, each spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to address deeper scars, pigmentation, or laxity, and to support lasting results.

After completing your initial series of treatments, we’ll help you create a long-term maintenance plan. Typically, we recommend scheduling a microneedling facial in the Upper East Side every 6 to 12 months to keep your skin firm, radiant, and healthy.

After your microneedling facial in the Upper East Side, NYC, you can expect some redness, warmth, and sensitivity for about 1 to 3 days. Over the following few days, you may also experience light flaking or tightness as your skin regenerates.

With proper aftercare, most clients return to their routines quickly. Dr. Akis provides detailed instructions to support healing and optimize your results, although PRP and PRF already expedite the healing process.

Results from a PRP or PRF microneedling facial in the Upper East Side, NYC, can last 6 to 12 months, depending on your skin condition, lifestyle, and aftercare. Collagen production continues for weeks after treatment, gradually improving firmness, tone, and clarity.

Dr. Akis helps you optimize your skincare regimen and schedule maintenance treatments as needed to keep your skin healthy and radiant. Most patients benefit from a touch-up PRP or PRF microneedling facial in the Upper East Side every 6 to 12 months.
