What is Microneedling?

Have you noticed that your skin is looking dull, or missing that radiant glow that you desire? If so, microneedling can help! Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that generates new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin also reducing the appearance of signs of aging.   

Microneedling can help with the following skin concerns:

  • Hyperpigmentation.
  • Scars.
  • Acne.
  • Fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Large pores.
  • Reduced skin elasticity.
  • Sun damage.

Microneedling Candidates

Microneedling can be used on a wide variety of skin tones to help our patients reach their skin care goals. If you are looking to combat signs of aging and refresh your complexion, microneedling may be right for you! However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have an infection or active acne in the treatment site, you should not receive this treatment. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for microneedling is to contact our office to schedule a consultation.

The Microneedling Treatment

To begin, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the skin to ensure your comfort. Then, your technician will move a special microneedling pen across the skin, creating micro-wounds to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Treatment can take 10-30 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the targeted area.

Some patients only require a single treatment once a year to achieve optimal results. Most patients, however, achieve optimal results through a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-8 weeks apart.

What to Expect Following Microneedling

Following your microneedling treatment, you may experience minor discomfort and skin redness, which is temporary. Healing usually takes about 24 hours; however, it may take up to three days depending on the depth of your treatment. There is no downtime, so you can feel free to return to your normal activities as soon as you wish.
