Microneedling

Here's What It Does for Your Skin

1. Boosts Collagen and Elastin Production

   As the microneedles create tiny channels in the skin, the body begins a healing process that boosts collagen and elastin production. These proteins are essential for youthful, firm, and resilient skin, reducing signs of aging.

2. Improves Skin Texture and Tone

   Regular microneedling treatments help even out skin texture, smooth fine lines, and reduce the appearance of large pores, creating a refined, more uniform look.

3. Reduces Scars and Stretch Marks

   Microneedling has been shown to significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and even stretch marks, thanks to its ability to stimulate skin regeneration and smooth out imperfections.

Here’s Where It Really Shines:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Great for reducing signs of aging, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
• Acne Scars and Other Scars: Microneedling breaks down scar tissue, helping scars to soften and fade.
• Large Pores: Minimizes the appearance of large pores for a smoother texture.
• Uneven Skin Tone and Hyperpigmentation: Addresses dark spots and uneven pigmentation for a brighter complexion.
• Stretch Marks: Helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks on areas such as the stomach and thighs.
• Sagging Skin: It's pretty good for tightening a small amount of skin sag. If it’s a lot, sometimes we may have to do PRP (Platelet-rich plasma).

What to Expect During and After Treatment

1. During Treatment

   The procedure typically begins with a numbing cream application to ensure comfort. The microneedling device then glides over the skin, with needles penetrating to a controlled depth, depending on the treatment area and aesthetic goals. Patients often describe a mild prickling sensation, with minimal discomfort because we use numbing cream.

2. Post-Treatment Effects

   After the treatment, the skin may appear red and feel slightly warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Some patients may experience slight swelling, tenderness, or dryness, which usually subsides within 24-48 hours. It’s normal for the skin to peel lightly as it renews itself over the next few days.

3. Recovery and Results

   Recovery is quick, with most people returning to their regular activities within a day. Results become more noticeable over the next few weeks as collagen production continues, and skin texture, tone, and elasticity improve.

4. Treatment Frequency

   For optimal results, patients may require multiple sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on the skin condition being treated and individual goals.
