Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin's healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth.

As soon as the deepest layers of your skin are penetrated by the needles, “micro-wounds” are created. This triggers your body's wound-healing processes to heal your micro wounds immediately. However, the most dramatic results will not be visible until four to six weeks after treatment.

During your treatment, the cordless, fractional, automated micro needling device composed of medical-grade stainless steel is used to create controlled micro-injuries or micro-channels to the skin, which allow topical gels, creams, and serums to be absorbed more effectively, enhancing their effects in deeper layers of the skin and therefore helping produce collagen and elastin.

Typically, micro needling is a little uncomfortable with depths needed for scar revision, but this is managed easily with a topical numbing gel placed on the skin prior to treatment. Lighter treatments are compared to brushing sandpaper across the skin.

Most treatment sessions are scheduled for 60-75 minutes based on the treatment surface area. A numbing cream will be applied 30 mins prior to treatment to insure your comfort during the procedure.

Because micro needling is not a particularly aggressive treatment, you’ll require several treatments over a 3 to 6-month period. Treatment results are cumulative, so you will need to commit to more than one treatment to get noticeable results.

Light treatment levels: Depending upon the depth of the needles used, you may feel as though your skin is warm or hot – and sensitive. Light superficial treatments leave the skin red for a day or two.

More aggressive levels: Treatments aimed at changing the skin at deeper planes as in acne scarring may experience some swelling, pinpoint bleeding (stops almost immediately) and what is called “bronzing” as the tiny pinpoints dry and then slough off.

Your skin may also feel tight. It will be more sun sensitive so you should use the recommended sunblock while your skin heals and you should not use acid or other active products outside of the schedule you will be given. Treat it gently and don’t “pick” at any areas that feel like sand granules.

Collagen and elastin production will begin immediately after receiving your treatment and will continue over the next few weeks, filling in indentations from scars, dissolving hyperpigmented areas, and revitalizing the surface of your skin. 

You will be amazed at your smooth and bright complexion, achieved without the use of fillers or resurfacing treatments. Microneedling can take years off the look of your face and give you a youthful glow.
