Microneedling

Microneedling alone provides fantastic benefits but offers much better results if combined with some form of superficial exfoliation.

Micro-needling (collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. When used together, Hyaluronic Acid and Microneedling result in increased volume and diminished visible signs of aging by revealing smoother and tighter skin. A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin.

Results include improved texture, firmness, reduced scars, and pore size. Micro-needling may also be combined with a topical treatment.

What is microneedling?

What are the benefits of microneedling? 

Microneedling can help improve the appearance of several skin issues, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture and tone. It can also enhance the effectiveness of topical skincare products.

 

Is microneedling painful? 

Most people experience mild discomfort during the procedure, but a topical numbing cream is typically applied to minimize pain. The pain level varies from person to person and can depend on the needle depth.

 

How long does the procedure take?

A microneedling session typically lasts 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area and technique.

 

How many sessions are needed for results?

The number of sessions required varies based on individual skin concerns. However, most people benefit from 3-6 treatments about 4-6 weeks apart.

 

What is the recovery time? 

After a microneedling treatment, some redness and swelling can last for a day or two. Most people can return to their normal activities within a few days. The recovery time may be longer if deeper needles are used.

The results of microneedling can last for several months. However, maintenance sessions may be needed to sustain the improvements over time.

 

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments? 

Microneedling can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or chemical peels, to enhance results.

 

It's essential to consult with a licensed and experienced professional to determine if microneedling is the proper treatment for your specific skin concerns and to discuss any further questions or concerns.
