Microneedling is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive procedure.  This treatment works by creating micropunctures in the skin which produce a controlled skin injury that triggers a release of growth factors, new collagen, and elastin. This process causes much less damage to the epidermis than dermal rolling or lasers and other ablative treatments, resulting in protection of new skin cell growth, quicker healing, and a much higher success rate.

​

We use a microneedling device that utilizes a sterile disposable needle cartridge containing either 12 or 36 microneedles. The device is glided across the skin to mechanically induce a microinjury to the desired depth customized for you by your medical provider. The result is that microchannels are introduced to your skin, allowing topicals and serums to penetrate deeper, thus producing a much more effective result.

​

Most all patients see results after the first microneedling treatment. Individual results vary depending on individual skin health. It is most common to begin to see true changes or positive results as soon as 1-2 weeks after the first treatment. Many patients comment on positive changes in even less time. Often, change is noted within just a few days!

​

Areas of the body that can be treated with microneedling:

• Face

• Arms

• Neck

• Legs

• Décolletage

• Abdomen

• Back

 

Microneedling can help with issues like:

• acne and acne scars

• dark spots or patches on your skin (hyperpigmentation, melasma)

• large pores

• reduced skin elasticity

• keloid scars

• sun damage

• fine lines and wrinkles

• skin texture and tone issues

 

What to expect at your appointment:​

Prior to your microneedling treatment, your medical provider will apply a topical numbing agent. Most people say they feel almost nothing after having been pretreated with a numbing cream.
Each session lasts about 30-45 minutes.  Multiple treatments are typically recommended for the best results and will vary depending on your skin concerns and desired results. 

​Immediately after your treatment your skin will look slightly pink to moderately red. Your medical provider will recommend skin care products for your post care based on your individual skin.

​

How many treatment will I need?

• Typically a series of 3-6 microneedling treatments is recommended, depending upon your area of correction or concern. Your skincare professional will ultimately determine a treatment schedule based on your individual goals and desires.

• Treatments are usually spaced in 4 week intervals.

• Patients with deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, stretch marks, or any type of scars, usually require 6 or more treatments to achieve the desired results.
