Microneedling is the timeless and rejuvenative treatment for all skin types and concerns that can achieve both short-term and long-term results when performed in series of 3 or 6!
Commonly known as “collagen-induction therapy”, this treatment performs for just that! With the decline in collagen production in our skin as we age, it is important to promote new skin cell growth. Healthy, rejuvenated skin can be produced through the technique of using multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin forcing the skin to repair itself.
- Smoother texture
- Improved blood circulation, providing a more radiant glow
- Skin tightening
- Reduced pore size
- Tighter skin
- Refined pore size
- Reduced scarring
- Smoother texture
- Decrease fine lines
From navigating through your teens to aging in your 60’s, anyone can benefit from skin rejuvenation, but it is most prized for skin concerns such as:
- Scarring
- Pitting
- Stretch marks
- Rosacea
- Alopecia with use of PRP injections
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sagging skin from loss of collagen & elastin
To prepare, if you are using any kind of retinoid, stop the use 3 days before treatment and do not resume use until 5 days post treatment when your skin is repaired and functioning back to normal.
When you come in for your treatment, your aesthetician will thoroughly double cleanse your skin, and then apply a topical numbing cream that will sit for 20 minutes. Once your numbing process has been completed your skin will be cleansed for a second time. Your treatment will then begin using the SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex as a glide for our FDA approved Microneedling tool, SkinPen.
Does Microneedling hurt during treatment?
During the treatment you will feel a mild buzz on the skin, but the buzzing sting is tolerable and the treatment time is relatively short!
What will my skin look like following my treatment?
Immediately post treatment you may be pink, as if you had a slight sunburn. There are possible side effects of being swollen or feel some heat in the skin for the next 36 hours.
The micro-channels created in your skin are open and healing for about 36 hours, which is a time that is crucial in the way you treat your skin and use products at home! Staying out of direct sunlight is best! Consider staying inside or in the shade, as well as using cool water to cleanse your skin. We provide take-home product in office that will be most beneficial for your home care.
What will my skin look like the day after my treatment?
Following those first 36 hours, your skin will have an immediate radiance and glow as you have freshly rejuvenated skin! You will still want to continue use of gentle products for the next couple days until your skin feels comfortable and back to normal.
How often should I get a Microneedling treatment?
Schedule your next Microneedling treatment for every 4-6 weeks, or as directed by your licensed aesthetician!
While it may be easy and accessible to do home Microneedling via derma rollers, that can actually cause more damage than repair in the end. Anyone looking for an effective Microneedling treatment needs to consult with a medical skincare provider who is experienced with different skin types and conditions to avoid any harmful side effects.
We Also Offer Microneedling with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Microneedling with PRP, which is a more advanced treatment, utilizes the patients own plasma to go back into the skin and further skin healing and
anti-aging benefits.
This procedure is non-chemical and does not utilize a heated laser, therefore there is minimal downtime and peeling. However, the following 36 hours are crucial for the skin’s healing process and it is highly recommended to protect your skin with SPF daily.
