Procedure and delivery method
This treatment uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin, a process that encourages the skin's natural renewal response while allowing topical serums to reach deeper layers than surface application alone. At Perma Glow Shanna in Elmhurst the procedure pairs collagen induction with targeted serums—stem cell and salmon DNA (polynucleotide)—to increase serum penetration compared with standard topical use.
Because the channels are microscopic, the method focuses on enhancing the serum's access rather than introducing large volumes or foreign materials. That makes it an advanced option beyond standard microneedling for clients who want a procedure aimed at texture, fine lines, enlarged pores and scarring while supporting hydration and overall skin quality.
Recovery and immediate effects
After treatment you can expect some redness, mild swelling, and temporary sensitivity where the needles were used. Healing time varies by individual skin type, lifestyle, and local climate; Elmhurst’s seasonal changes—hot, humid summers and cold winters—can affect how comfortable the skin feels during recovery and may shape aftercare recommendations.
The applied stem cell and salmon DNA serums are intended to remain in contact with the treated skin so they can act while the microchannels are open. Clinicians will explain topical aftercare and sun protection. Many local clients schedule appointments to fit commuting patterns—early mornings, late evenings, or weekends—to minimize disruption to their routine.
Suitability and considerations
This option is designed for clients seeking a more advanced microneedling treatment to address concerns such as skin texture irregularities, fine lines, enlarged pores, scarring, and hydration. It is not a guaranteed fix for any condition; suitability depends on individual skin health and goals, so a consultation is important to evaluate whether the combination of collagen induction and polynucleotide serums is appropriate.
Logistics to note: the treatment session is scheduled for 55 MINUTES and costs $180. Perma Glow Shanna is centrally located in Elmhurst near 74th Street and Queens Boulevard, with easy subway and bus access—convenient for commuters who prefer after-work or weekend appointments and for running errands near Queens Center Mall or Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
