Microneedling

Microneedling is a cutting-edge skincare procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process prompts the skin to naturally generate new collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. As a result, microneedling can effectively improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin texture. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed in-office with little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation. With its ability to enhance skin tone and promote a more youthful complexion, microneedling has gained recognition as a transformative treatment in the realm of skincare.
 
Microneedling is most often used on your face to target:
  • Acne scars
  • Age spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Large pores
  • Reduced skin elasticity
  • Uneven skin tone

    Microneedling treatment steps:

    1. Before photos will be obtained to measure results of where we start before treatment.
    2. Your face will be cleaned to make sure all makeup and products have been removed properly from the skin.
    3. Then, numbing cream will be applied to the skin for 15-30 minutes until the face is numb.
    4. While microneedling, a gel is applied to help guide the microneedling pen across the skin.
    5. Once completed, a cooling spray is used on the face and neck. LED light therapy can be added for additional treatment.

    Are there any risks or side effects?

    There are certain risks and side effects to consider. Some common side effects of microneedling include redness, swelling, and bruising, which usually subside within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as infection, scarring, and hyperpigmentation can occur. It is important to consult with a qualified professional before undergoing microneedling to understand the potential risks and benefits associated with the procedure.

    Am I a good candidate for microneedling?

    Microneedling is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using tiny needles to puncture the skins surface, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. However, there are certain contraindications that individuals should be aware of before undergoing microneedling treatment. By carefully assessing and addressing contraindications, individuals can make informed decisions about their skincare regimen and achieve optimal results.

  • Active infections: such as acne, herpes labialis, warts, or other localized infections
  • Skin conditions: such as eczema, psoriasis, diabetes, or actinic keratosis
  • Bleeding disorders 
  • Weakened immune system: such as from chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or high dose steroids 
  • Scarring: such as keloids or raised scarring, or scars less than six months old
  • Pregnancy

    • What to expect after microneedling:

    After undergoing microneedling, it is common to experience some redness, swelling, and sensitivity in the treated area. These side effects typically subside within a few days as the skin begins to heal and regenerate. It is crucial to follow the post-care instructions provided by your skincare professional to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications. Remember to avoid direct sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and excessive sweating to support the skins recovery process. With proper care and patience, you can enjoy the benefits of microneedling, such as improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and enhanced overall skin rejuvenation.
