HOW MICRONEEDLING WORKS

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. To begin, a device with fine needles is gently rolled or pressed across the skin, creating tiny punctures. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. As new collagen and elastin are produced, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone and texture.

POPULAR AREAS TO TREAT

FACE

The face is the most common area treated with microneedling. Benefits include:

Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production to smooth out fine lines and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Improvement in Skin Texture: Helps to achieve a smoother, more even skin texture.
Even Skin Tone: Reduces hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and acne scars for a more uniform complexion.
Minimized Pores: Reduces the size of enlarged pores, resulting in a refined and polished look.

NECK

The neck area can benefit from microneedling by:

Firming and Tightening: Enhances skin firmness and elasticity.
Smoothing Wrinkles: Minimizes the appearance of neck lines and wrinkles.
Improving Texture: Addresses rough or uneven skin texture on the neck.

The décolletage, or chest area, is prone to sun damage and aging. Microneedling helps to:

Reduce Sun Damage: Improves the appearance of sunspots and discoloration.
Smooth Skin: Addresses fine lines and improves skin texture.

Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Scar Reduction: Microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring.

Enhanced Product Absorption: The micro-channels created during the treatment allow for better absorption of topical skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.

Minimal Downtime: Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime, allowing you to quickly resume your daily activities.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR VISIT

The provider will use a microneedling device equipped with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. The device may be a derma roller, a pen-like tool, or a motorized device. The device is gently moved across the skin in a systematic pattern, ensuring even coverage of the treatment area. The depth of the needles can be adjusted based on your specific skin concerns and the area being treated. You may feel a slight vibration or a mild prickling sensation as the needles penetrate the skin. Thanks to the numbing cream, most people find the procedure to be tolerable with minimal discomfort.

POST-TREATMENT CARE

Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from the sun by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Keep Skin Hydrated: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin moisturized and to aid in the healing process.

Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment to prevent irritation.

Use Gentle Skincare Products: Avoid using harsh or active skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, for a few days post-treatment.
