What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that involves the use fine needles used to minimally puncture the skin and create a controlled skin injury. In these tiny punctures, a channel is created that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by stimulating collagen production. At our office, we use the award winning and first FDA cleared micro needling device – SkinPen.
This anti-aging procedure is perfect for improving acne scars, skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles. What’s even better is that micorneedling safe for any age and skin type.
Microneedling can be enhanced with the use of PRP. This is natural way to stimulate collagen with your body’s own stem cells and growth factors.
What to expect during your Microneedling treatment
This procedure requires little to no downtime and can be completely customized to go deeper into the skin where damage requires a more aggressive treatment. The forehead and bridge of the nose tend to be the most sensitive areas, but for the most part, you’ll just feel small vibrations and find this treatment very comfortable. Numbing is provided complimentary during your service.
What to expect after your Microneedling treatment
After the treatment is over, your face will be pink or red (comparable to a slight sunburn). Returning to work the same day is up to your own comfort. You want to avoid touching or applying anything to your face the day of the treatment. After 24 hours, you can return to your routine and use a gentle cleanser, SPF and even apply a little makeup if you wish! Usually, multiple treatments are necessary to achieve the best results with Microneedling. Three or four treatments are usually recommended.
