Personalized Pittsburgh Medspa
Because we are a locally owned and staffed Pittsburgh medspa rather than a generic corporate franchise, each of our procedures, like our microneedling in Pittsburgh, is carefully tailored to your unique needs and goals and is overseen by our commander-in-chief, board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Leong.
Dr. Leong's Contouring Expertise
Internationally recognized as an authority on non-surgical facial contouring, Dr. Leong has created his own conservative, innovative techniques for performing injections, passed down exclusively to his nurse injectors at Leong Aesthetics.
Thanks to Dr. Leong’s expertise and skill as a surgeon, patients enjoy an enhanced level of safety, as well as expedited recovery and minimized discomfort.
What is Microneedling?
Also referred to as “collagen-induction therapy", microneedling works to firm, tighten, and revitalize aging skin. It's an excellent alternative to laser treatments, which may be too harsh for some clients. Our microneedling in Pittsburgh can address a host of facial imperfections, including wrinkles and fine lines, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and acne scarring.
Patient Review
Words cannot express how awesome Dr. Leong really is. You honestly need to meet him in person. He definitely has all the important characteristics you look for in a doctor. Very smart, integrity, patient, experience, caring, knowledgeable, and honestly he has the best personality. You’d want him as your family member or neighbor. I love this guy! Me and several of my family members go to him and we all couldn’t be happier. Exceptionally great doctor and surgeon.
Microneedling with PRP
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a compound taken directly from the patient’s blood and used to stimulate collagen growth as well as cell growth. The plasma can be used to fill in skin depressions, reverse cheek hollowness, and overall improve the skin’s tone and texture. With PRP, a softer, healthier, more youthful complexion is imminent.
Microneedling with PRF
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is an advanced version of PRP, containing a greater dosage of white blood cells and platelets. This compound helps promote collagen growth, regenerating tissue and maximizing skin elasticity. The skin tone is enhanced, wrinkles are smoothed out, and a brighter, more youthful glow is achieved. Microneedling with PRF is especially effective for treating facial scarring.
What are the advantages of microneedling?
Microneedling enhances skin by stimulating natural healing. Here are some of its key advantages:
- Preserves healthy skin cells
- Non-invasive
- Has minimal recovery time
- Boosts collagen production
- Low risk of scarring
- Can be performed year-round
- Improves absorption of vitamins, nutrients, and serums
- Is appropriate for most skin types
Am I a candidate for microneedling?
Every patient at Leong Aesthetics receives an in-depth, personalized consultation and skincare evaluation to determine exactly the best course of action for their needs.
Those struggling with skin problems such as:
- acne scarring
- age-related wrinkles and lines
- drooping facial contours
- dull skin tone
- enlarged pores
- stretch marks
- rosacea
- melasma
- sun damage
- hyperpigmentation
will all find dramatic relief with our microneedling in Pittsburgh. As with all procedures, patients must have realistic expectations based on their Pittsburgh consultation with our team.
Is there any downtime with microneedling?
After your treatment, you will receive a detailed aftercare plan prepared with your needs and goals in mind, as well as recommendations for skincare products and moisturizers. Be careful not to touch your skin too much after your session, as this can irritate it. You may experience some dryness, redness, or tenderness on par with a mild sunburn. These side effects will dissipate fairly quickly. You can plan to re-apply makeup as early as six hours after your procedure.
