Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a treatment designed to revitalize and improve the appearance of your skin by stimulating its natural ability to heal. Using a device with fine, sterile needles, microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's natural repair process, which involves increased collagen and elastin production—proteins that give your skin strength and elasticity.

What Microneedling Can Do for Your Skin

Stimulate Collagen Production: Helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles by boosting your skin’s natural collagen supply, giving you a firmer, more youthful complexion.
Improve Skin Texture: Smooths out uneven skin tone and rough patches, leaving your skin feeling soft and looking radiant.
Minimize Pores: Refines enlarged pores, giving you a smoother, more refined appearance.
Diminish Acne Scars: Breaks down scar tissue over time, making it highly effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars.
Reduce Stretch Marks: Proven to improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks on the body.
Fade Pigmentation: Helps even out hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots by encouraging cell turnover.

Multiple sessions (3-6) are recommended for the best results, with effects improving over time.

Why Choose Microneedling Over Other Treatments?

Unlike more invasive treatments like lasers or chemical peels, microneedling offers significant benefits with less downtime, making it an excellent choice for individuals with busy lifestyles who want noticeable results without a long recovery period.

Key Advantages of Microneedling:

Minimal Downtime: Microneedling typically requires just 1-2 days of recovery time. Unlike laser treatments, which can leave you peeling or sensitive for up to a week, microneedling allows you to get back to your normal routine faster.
All-Natural Results: Since microneedling works by stimulating your skin’s natural healing process, the results look completely natural, avoiding the “overdone” look sometimes associated with other treatments.
Safe for Most Skin Types: While certain advanced treatments may not be suitable for darker skin tones or sensitive skin, microneedling is generally safe for all skin types and colors.
Lower Risk of Hyperpigmentation: Unlike lasers, which can sometimes lead to hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones, microneedling offers a safer alternative.
Less Pain and Discomfort: While numbing cream is used to minimize discomfort, microneedling is typically a less painful option compared to treatments like deep chemical peels or laser resurfacing.

Perfect for Anyone Seeking:

A natural boost in collagen production
Gradual, subtle improvements over time
A treatment with a low risk of side effects and complications

Microneedling is a fantastic middle-ground solution for those who want the benefits of advanced treatments without the extensive healing time. Whether you're aiming to tackle early signs of aging, improve skin texture, or address scars, microneedling delivers results without the intensity of more aggressive procedures.

What to Expect: Before, During, and After

Before Your Treatment:

A free consultation is required before your first session to evaluate your skin and determine if microneedling is right for you.
Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and sun exposure for at least 48 hours before your appointment.
Your skin will be cleansed and numbed to ensure your comfort.

During the Treatment:

A microneedling device with tiny needles will gently glide over your skin, creating controlled micro-injuries.
This stimulates your skin’s natural healing process, leading to collagen production and cell turnover.

After the Treatment:

You may experience redness and mild irritation, similar to a sunburn. This will subside within a few days.
You must avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks post treatment
- Why is this important? Exposure to sunlight can cause hyperpigmentation, irritation, and even reverse the benefits of the treatment. Protect your investment in beautiful, healthy skin by taking this step seriously.
Post-care instructions will be carefully overviewed at time of consultation to maximize results and prevent complications.

Contraindications

Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types but may not be suitable if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active acne or infections in the treatment area
Have a history of keloid scarring
Are currently using Accutane
Cosmetic injections
- wait 48hrs after neurotoxin treatment

Your consultation will determine if microneedling is the right treatment for your skin.
