What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a highly effective anti-aging and resurfacing treatment that combines cutting-edge technology with the amazing natural capabilities of our bodies. A handheld device is used to make tiny punctures in the skin with micro-fine needles. These punctures illicit a healing response from the body, flooding the treatment area with highly regenerative properties like collagen, elastin, and red blood cells. Microneedling treatments can be used on the face and other parts of the body for the following concerns:
- Stretch marks
- Scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation
- Skin elasticity
- Uneven skin tone and texture
Real Patient Testimonials
Patient reviewsWho Is a Candidate for Microneedling?
The ideal candidates for microneedling treatments are those individuals seeking to treat a variety of skin conditions such as wrinkles, fine lines, depressions from acne scars, surgical scars, burn scars, stretch marks, and enlarged pores without surgery. Microneedling treatments do not rely on heat energy to treat the skin, meaning those with hyperpigmentation issues, such as dark spots, may benefit from this treatment without the risk of potentially worsening their pigmentation problems. Microneedling can also be used to make topical treatments more effective by creating microchannels in the skin that pave the way for enhanced absorption. Microneedling can also enhance the results of hair loss treatments.
Microneedling Treatment
To begin your microneedling treatment, a topical lidocaine numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area. This cream will sit for about 30-45 minutes to make sure it has taken effect before treatment starts. Next, a handheld device is used to make the tiny micro-punctures all over the treatment area. It will be moved across the face very gently and slowly to ensure even treatment. This treatment is highly customizable as the depth of the punctures can be changed to accommodate deeper scars or to make the treatment more comfortable. Microneedling treatment only takes about 15 minutes.
Microneedling Results
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that allows you to go home right away once your treatment concludes. Immediately following the procedure, your skin might appear red and swollen for up to five days. This is normal as it is the body’s way of responding to the micro-injuries and starting its healing process. A cold compress can be used to ease any discomfort. For some people, their skin may become dry and flaky as it heals. If this is the case for you, a gentle moisturizer can be used to help. While your skin is healing, you will want to stay out of the sun. Most patients need multiple microneedling treatments spaced 3-8 weeks apart.
