Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a popular and effective skincare treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It works by stimulating your skin's natural healing process through the use of tiny, fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries. This encourages the production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth, and youthful-looking.
Microneedling can treat areas of the face, neck, chest, hands, back, abdomen, thighs, legs and other areas of the body. It is suitable for all skin types and tones and is an excellent option for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture and tone, and can even help improve the appearance of stretch marks.
What to Expect
Consultation
A consultation with our trained provider will help to determine the best treatment plan for your specific skin concerns.
Pre-Treatment
To ensure comfort during the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. This typically takes about 20-30 minutes to take effect.
Treatment
Using a device with small, fine needles, the provider will gently move the device over the treatment area. The needles create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin as the skin heals.
Post-Treatment
After the procedure, you may experience mild redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically last 1-2 days. Your skin may feel slightly tight or dry. We will provide you with post-care instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
FAQs
When can I start to see results?
Within a week your skin will appear smoother and brighter. Full results typically take 4-6 weeks to develop as new collagen is produced.
How many treatments will I need?
For optimal results, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is usually recommended, especially for concerns like acne scars or deep wrinkles. However, the number of treatments you need depends on your skin concerns and goals. Your provider will discuss a treatment plan tailored to you.
Who is a good candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and can be used on various areas of the face and body. However, it may not be suitable for those with active skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, or open wounds. A consultation with a provider will determine if microneedling is right for you.
Can Microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, microneedling can be combined with treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and serum infusions to enhance results. Combining treatments can boost collagen production, improve skin texture, and address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
