Microneedling

Q: Is microneedling safe for dark skin tones?

Yes. The SkinPen is FDA-cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper tones (IV-VI). Dr. Anyaoku has advanced training in treating melanin-rich skin and carefully adjusts the needle depth and technique to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Pretreatment may be required to reduce this risk for certain skin types.

Q: What is the difference between microneedling and microneedling with PRF?

Standard microneedling stimulates collagen production through controlled micro-injuries. When PRF is added, concentrated growth factors derived from your own blood are delivered directly into the micro-channels, amplifying the healing response. Patients who add PRF often see faster improvement and more noticeable results per session.

Q: How many microneedling sessions will I need?

Most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and goals. Some patients continue with maintenance sessions once or twice a year to sustain results. Dr. Anyaoku will recommend a plan during your consultation.

Q: Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Microneedling pairs well with chemical peels, Aerolase laser treatments, and medical-grade skincare as part of a comprehensive skin plan. Dr. Anyaoku often builds multi-treatment protocols for patients who want to address texture, tone, and firmness together. Treatments are spaced appropriately for safety.

Microneedling Explained

Microneedling at Hibiscus Aesthetics

For patients who want enhanced results, Dr. Anyaoku offers microneedling combined with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), exosomes, or Rejuran PDRN. PRF is derived from your own blood and delivers concentrated growth factors directly into the micro-channels, amplifying the regenerative response.

Exosomes deliver cell-signalling molecules that accelerate repair at a cellular level. Rejuran PDRN stimulates tissue regeneration and repair using polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA. This layered approach makes microneedling at Hibiscus more effective than standard microneedling alone.

Mild redness for 1-3 days. Return to normal routine next day. Avoid direct sun and active skincare for 48-72 hours.

How Dr. Anyaoku performs microneedling

She begins with a detailed skin assessment to determine the right needle depth, number of passes, and whether PRF, exosome, or Rejuran PDRN enhancement is appropriate for your skin type, tone, and goals. This evaluation is especially important for patients with deeper skin tones, where aggressive treatment can trigger hyperpigmentation.

During the procedure, the SkinPen device creates controlled micro-channels across the treatment area, which may include the face, neck, and decolletage. For patients receiving PRF, a small blood draw is performed before the session. The PRF is then prepared and applied directly to the skin during or immediately after microneedling, allowing the concentrated growth factors to penetrate deep into the open channels. Exosomes can be added as an additional layer of regeneration for patients seeking accelerated results.

After your treatment, Dr. Anyaoku provides a post-procedure skincare protocol designed to support healing and protect results. She recommends a series of treatments for cumulative improvement and often combines microneedling with chemical peels or Aerolase laser sessions as part of a comprehensive skin plan tailored to your needs.

Microneedling is one of the treatments I recommend most often because it works with your body, not against it. When we add PRF, we are giving your skin the exact growth factors it needs to rebuild collagen from the inside out. For my patients in their 40s and 50s who are seeing real changes in their skin, this combination delivers results that feel earned and natural.
