Microneedling
Treatment Areas
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that can help address various skin concerns, including wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, large pores, and stretch marks. It works by stimulating collagen production and promoting cell turnover, leading to smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin.
Acne Scars
Controlled injury promotes the formation of new collagen, improving the texture of acne scars.
Sun Damage
By stimulating cell turnover, microneedling helps to fade dark spots and uneven skin tone caused by sun damage or other factors.
Stretch Marks
The increased collagen and elastin production from microneedling can help to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Microneedling boosts collagen production to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful appearance.
Expected Treatment Results
While some individuals may notice improvements in skin texture and appearance within a few days after SkinPen microneedling, optimal results typically require a series of sessions. Immediately after treatment, expect redness and mild swelling, subsiding within the first week. In the following weeks, collagen production begins, reducing fine lines and improving skin tone. Continued improvement occurs over the next few months, with noticeable enhancements in skin texture, scars, and pore size. Remember that individual responses vary, and post-treatment care is crucial for maximizing the benefits of SkinPen microneedling.
What is Microneedling
The Science Behind
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate and enhance the skin’s appearance. This non-invasive technique involves the use of a specialized device, such as the SkinPen, equipped with fine, sterile needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface.
The microneedling device is gently applied to the skin, and its ultra-fine needles create microscopic punctures, often not visible to the naked eye
These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing processes. The skin responds by producing new collagen and elastin—the essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and a youthful texture.
As the skin heals, there is a surge in cell turnover. Old, damaged skin cells are replaced with fresh, new ones, contributing to improved skin texture, tone, and overall quality.
What sets SkinPen apart are its exceptional features, including advanced precision technology, customizable needle depth settings, and a proprietary safety mechanism. These unique attributes collectively enhance the overall microneedling experience for our clients. The advanced precision technology ensures unparalleled accuracy during the procedure, allowing for targeted and effective treatment. Additionally, the customizable needle depth settings cater to individual skin needs, providing a tailored approach for optimal results.
Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling Treatment Process
Your journey to revitalized skin begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment. We take the time to understand your unique skin concerns and aesthetic goals, ensuring that your treatment is tailored specifically to you. Based on this in-depth discussion, we’ll develop a personalized microneedling plan designed to target your specific needs and deliver optimal results.
On the day of your treatment, we prioritize your comfort and safety. We’ll start by gently cleansing your skin to remove any impurities, creating a clean canvas for the microneedling procedure. Next, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area, minimizing any potential discomfort during the session. The microneedling device, equipped with fine, sterile needles, will then be used to create controlled micro-injuries in your skin, triggering its natural healing response and collagen production. For those seeking an extra boost, we offer the option of a Pluryal infusion, which delivers a potent blend of vitamins and hyaluronic acid directly into the skin for enhanced rejuvenation.
Following your microneedling session, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. These may include:
- Avoiding direct sunlight and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
- Using gentle skincare products and avoiding harsh exfoliants or active ingredients for a few days.
- Keeping the treated area clean and moisturized to promote healing.
- Avoiding strenuous exercise or excessive sweating for 24 hours.
- Not picking or scratching at the treated area.
We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. For sustained results, a series of microneedling sessions is typically recommended.
With proper care and adherence to your treatment plan, you can expect to see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Microneedling can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and even stretch marks, leaving you with a more youthful and radiant complexion. To maintain these results, it’s important to follow our post-treatment recommendations, attend your scheduled follow-up appointments, and maintain a consistent skincare routine.
