What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a rejuvenating skin treatment that addresses:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Hyperpigmentation
• Sun damage
• Mild inelasticity
• Acne scars
• Large pores
• Rough skin
• Dull skin

You may hear microneedling referred to as percutaneous collagen induction, because the treatment increases collagen in your skin. Collagen is the supportive scaffolding of youthful, smooth skin. It naturally declines with age. By inducing the creation of collagen (as well as elastin), microneedling leads to smoother, plumper, firmer skin.

The Microneedling Process

Modern treatments use an automated pen-like device. It’s handheld. The head of the device contains a circular arrangement of tiny needles. The device is set to penetrate the skin at a certain depth, 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 minuscule punctures prompt a healing response in the skin without damaging tissue.

Opening the skin’s pores for nourishing topicals: 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 ointments, creams and other skin products chosen by you and the provider.

How Long Does it Take to Heal from Microneedling?

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.

For 24-48 hours, it is normal to experience peeling, dryness, swelling and bumps. 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.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling offers many benefits, making it a popular choice for those seeking skin rejuvenation. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is essential for youthful-looking skin, and microneedling stimulates the production of this vital protein, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improves Skin Texture: Regular microneedling treatments can help smooth rough skin, giving it a softer, more even texture.
• Reduces Acne Scars: Microneedling can break down scar tissue and promote the growth of fresh, new, healthy skin.
• Minimizes Pore Size: Enlarged pores can become less noticeable after microneedling as the skin’s surface becomes smoother and firmer.
• Enhances Absorption of Skincare Products: The micro-channels created during treatment allow for better absorption of topical serums and treatments, making your skincare routine even more effective.
• Safe for All Skin Types: Microneedling works well on all skin types, including darker tones, without the risk of hyperpigmentation, unlike many laser treatments.
