Microneedling is a skin treatment that is designed to use the body’s natural healing process to simulate the production of elastin and collagen — two materials that the body stops producing as quickly as we age.
It’s a minimally-invasive treatment that involves using tiny needles to make controlled micro-injuries to the skin. In doing so, microneedling can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and uneven texture, while improving overall skin tone and shrinking pores.
Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for both men and women, and is chosen by patients who are looking for natural results without undergoing surgery or experiencing significant downtime. This treatment can be very effective on the face, neck and decolletage, and delivers a smoother, firmer and more radiant complexion with benefits that are long-lasting.
Microneedling treatments can provide many benefits, including:
Microneedling is effective for most skin types and doesn’t result in the skin discoloration that other types of facial treatments do, making it ideal for anyone who has a darker skin tone.
Microneedling treatments can be very effective on the face, neck, decolletage and other targeted areas where you might have texture or scarring concerns. The entire treatment takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes to complete.
Microneedling is a very versatile skin treatment. It can improve fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, uneven skin tone and much more.
The treatment uses a device that has fine needles on it to pierce the top layer of the skin, creating micro-channels as it goes. This will trigger the body’s natural healing response, which involves boosting the production of elastin and collagen, which results in smoother, firmer and younger-looking skin.
The treatment itself will take about 45 to 60 minutes to complete, and you shouldn’t have many limitations once it’s done. The recovery time is very minimal, with most patients experiencing mild sensitivity and redness in the treatment area for about 24 to 72 hours following a procedure.
You should start to see the results from microneedling gradually over several weeks as the collagen and elastin builds up in the treatment area. The results can also last for months with proper skincare.
Microneedling involves a device with tiny needles making small punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process to generate extra elastin and collagen.
Microneedling can be slightly painful/uncomfortable. We offer a topical numbing cream prior to the procedure.
There is very limited downtime with microneedling, though you might experience some mild redness and sensitivity in the treatment area for up to 72 hours after a procedure.
You will start to see results from microneedling gradually over several weeks.
Its recommended to do at least 3 treatments (one every 6 weeks) for best results.
