Microneedling

Microneedling effectively targets various skin concerns, with potential results including:

Acne Scars: Microneedling creates precise micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a robust healing response. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to fill in and smooth out the depressed areas caused by acne scars.

Even Texture: This treatment works by using fine needles to break apart scar tissue and fibrous bands, which helps to refine the skin's texture. This process addresses uneven skin patterns and skin tissue irregularities, promoting a smoother and more even complexion.

Neck Lines: Microneedling is FDA-cleared for treating neck lines, using tiny, controlled needles to enhance collagen and elastin production in the delicate neck area. The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging, and we are here to address that!

Pigmentation: By promoting cell turnover and the production of new, healthy skin cells, Microneedling can help fade hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone. However, for more significant pigmentation concerns, we recommend our Clear + Brilliant treatment, which is specifically designed to target and reduce pigmentation more effectively.

Natural Glow: Patients often report a glowing effect within a week after treatment, thanks to our ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The treatment promotes a natural, healthy glow, leaving the skin looking more radiant, refreshed and youthful.

Before Treatment: Prior to the procedure, numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area. Numbing will typically take anywhere between 30-45 mins to ensure your comfort. 

During treatment: Once numbed, a specialized device with 14 tiny needles is gently rolled over the targeted areas, creating controlled micro-injuries. You may experience a mild sensation of pricking or tingling during the treatment, but discomfort is generally very minimal. 

After Treatment: Afterward, your skin may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a sunburn. Pin-point bleeding and peeling is also very common post procedure. This typically subsides within a few hours to a day.

A well-structured Microneedling treatment plan consists of multiple sessions spaced over several weeks apart. 

Recommended Sessions: Treatment plans typically consist of 3 to 6 treatments to achieve desired results. With each session, micro needling stimulates collagen production, leading to additional improvements. 

Results Timeline: Results can be seen as early as 2 weeks and will continue over time as collagen remodeling occurs. 

Maintenance: Regular maintenance sessions are recommended every 3 months after you have completed your initial treatment plan.

After your microneedling session, it's crucial to provide proper post-care to promote healing and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. Here are some essential post-care tips to follow:

1. Gentle cleansing: Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser to wash your face for the next few days following the treatment. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleansers that could further irritate the skin.

2. Moisturize regularly: Keep your skin hydrated by applying a gentle moisturizer recommended by your skincare professional. This helps soothe the skin, minimize dryness, and support the healing process.

3. Sun protection: Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF. Shield your skin from direct sunlight, especially during peak hours, and use protective clothing and accessories like hats and sunglasses.

4. Avoid harsh products and procedures: Refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants, retinoids, or acids, for at least a week following the treatment. Also, avoid other skin procedures or treatments that may cause irritation or sensitivity.

5. Avoid Heavy Makeup: For the first 24 hours post-treatment, refrain from wearing heavy makeup to let your skin breathe.

6. Patience and consistency: Results from microneedling take time to fully manifest. Be patient and consistent with your recommended treatment plan, as multiple sessions are often necessary for optimal results. Follow-up with your skincare professional to discuss your progress and any further recommendations.

By adhering to these post-care guidelines, you can support your skin's healing process, minimize potential side effects, and maximize the benefits of microneedling. Remember to consult with your skincare professional for personalized advice based on your specific needs and skin condition.
