Microneedling uses a hand-held class II medical device, that has a series off needles, set to go specific depths, typically 0.5mm-2mm or so. The needles create microscopic openings or channels in the surface of the skin. It causes enough trauma to push your skin to develop new collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, more radient skin. The treatment is completely non-surgical and requires little downtime.
Microneedling is a rejuvenating skin treatment that addresses:
Micronenedling creates an inflfammatory response that stimulates healing, and the healing process increases collagen production in your skin. Collagen is the supportive scaffolding of youthful, smooth skin, which naturally declines with age. By stimulating the creation of collagen (as well as elastin), microneedling leads to smoother, plumper, firmer skin.
Modern treatments use a class II Medical automated pen-like , hand-held device. The head of the device contains a circular arrangement of tiny needles that can be set to reach a variety of depths to target specific layers of your skin. The needle depth varies based on the patient’s specific skin needs, making the treatment highly customizable.
As the provider passes the head of rotating needles across the skin, the needles make tiny openings in the epidermis. These tiny punctures prompt a healing response in the skin without damaging tissue.
Opening the skin’s pores for nourishing topicals, vitamins, antioxidants, medications, Chemical peels, or even the patients own healing growth factors such as PRP, PRF or EZ Gel: Another benefit of microneedling is that the skin is essentially opened up via the tiny channels made, and can thereby better absorb any variety of rejuvenating topical treatment option chosen by you and the provider.
Microneedling is minimally invasive, but your face will be flushed and red for about 24-72 hours after the appointment. During this time, don’t apply facial cosmetics. We know it is tempting to conceal the redness, but microneedling opens up the pores of your face, so the last thing you want to do is clog all those channels into the epidermis with makeup.
It is normal to experience peeling and dryness for a week after your treatment. Follow our directions for which moisturizers and cleansers to use during this time. Your skin will start looking radiant and fresh after a few days, and results will continue to improve over the next couple of months as new collagen and elastin forms. Patients typically require multiple treatments for optimal lasting results, and for optimal glow.
