WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin. It involves using fine needles to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is an improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in the appearance of scars, pore size, and stretch marks. This is a great treatment for both the face and body. 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The SKINPEN, a common tool used for microneedling, utilizes a sterile needle-tip containing numerous tiny micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s repair process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This process is effective in reducing pore size, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving the appearance of acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks. Additionally, the micro-channels created during microneedling enhance the absorption of topical products, allowing for deeper penetration and increased effectiveness in addressing various skin concerns.

THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

The MicroPen uses a sterile needle-tip containing 12-36 tiny micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This initiates the skin’s repair process to naturally produce collagen and elastin, ideal for reducing pore size and smoothing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks. Micro-channels created by the treatment allow for optimal absorption of topical products, enhancing their effects in the deeper layers of skin.

Micro-Needling feels similar to sandpaper being moved across the skin. Topical numbing will be applied prior to your procedure to avoid any discomfort, but no anesthesia or medications are necessary.

The skin will be red and flushed, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn, for 24-48 hours. You may also experience mild swelling, tightness, and/or mild peeling. This is temporary and will typically resolve within 3 days. Total healing time depends on the depth of the treatment, skin type, and skin condition.  For most patients, down time is as low as 24 hours.

Patients typically notice an immediate glow after healing, but visible improvement will take about 2-4 weeks and can continue for up to 6 months.

A series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is ideal for optimal results. Some conditions like deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks, and acne scars may need 6-8 treatments.
