Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This multipurpose treatment leverages the body’s natural healing process to address various skin conditions, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.
Microneedling utilizes a handheld device equipped with extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin. These micro-wounds trigger the skin’s healing process, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health and vitality. The treatment effectively rejuvenates the skin, improving its overall texture and appearance.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime.
- Before: Your skin is cleansed and numbed for comfort.
- During: You may feel warmth and light scratching as the device moves over your skin.
- After: Expect some redness and swelling for a few days. You can resume normal activities but should avoid sun exposure while healing.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of microneedling sessions required varies based on individual skin conditions and desired results. Typically, a series of multiple treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Does it hurt?
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated. While the procedure involves some discomfort, the application of a topical numbing cream significantly reduces any pain. Most clients report only mild sensations during the treatment.
What's the downtime?
Microneedling involves minimal downtime. Post-treatment redness and swelling typically subside within a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately, but it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure until your skin has fully healed.
How long do results last?
Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in long-lasting improvements to the skin’s texture and appearance. With proper skin care and maintenance, the results can be sustained over time.
Are there any side effects?
Microneedling is a safe and minimally invasive procedure with a well-established safety profile. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These effects are typically mild and resolve on their own.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
Before your microneedling appointment, it’s essential to inform your medical provider about any medications, supplements, or skin conditions you have. Avoid using any harsh skincare products or treatments before the procedure. During your consultation, our practitioners will provide specific pre-treatment instructions to ensure the best results.
