Microneedling

Microneedling is also called collagen induction therapy. It stimulates the skin's natural healing process, which includes collagen production; this is a protein in the skin that helps it maintain elasticity for a softer, smoother skin texture.

The microneedling treatment involves tiny sterile needles puncturing the skin, causing controlled micro-tears to stimulate the creation of collagen and elastin (another essential protein) and rejuvenate healthy, youthful skin. 

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is a great option for patients who want non-surgical anti-aging treatments. It can address many skin concerns, making it a popular treatment for patients who want to address early signs of aging, sun damage, and skin imperfections. Skin conditions treated with micro needling include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Mild sagging skin

  • Acne scars or surgical scars

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Rough skin texture

It is safe for most skin types and skin tones, including sensitive skin. However, you might not be a good candidate if you have a history of bleeding problems or poor wound-healing. At your consultation, we will assess your medical history and treatment goals to make sure microneedling skin treatments are right for you.

Recovery & Results

There is minimal downtime and recovery after microneedling treatments. Patients might have mild swelling and bruising but this will improve within a few days. Sun exposure and strenuous activities should be avoided for a few days to protect your healing skin. 

Results will develop gradually as new collagen develops and healthy skin cells are resurfaced. Although one treatment is often enough to achieve beautiful skin, we may recommend a series of micro needling treatments to ensure optimal skin health and achieve total skin rejuvenation.
