Microneedling

Microneedling, often referred to as collagen induction therapy, is a groundbreaking skincare treatment that harnesses the body's own regenerative capabilities to enhance the overall health and appearance of the skin.

By creating controlled, tiny punctures in the skin's surface, it encourages a cascade of healing responses without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive surgical techniques. This unique approach not only bolsters the skin's natural collagen and elastin production but also facilitates improved absorption of topical skincare products, maximizing their efficacy.

What to Expect

Before microneedling, your skin will be cleansed and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. During the procedure, a device with fine needles is used to create tiny punctures in the skin, leading to a sensation that can feel like light sandpaper moving across the skin, but generally, with the numbing cream, the process is tolerable.

Anticipated Downtime

After microneedling, there's typically 24 to 72 hours of downtime. During this period, you can expect redness, swelling, and minor skin sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. It's advised to avoid direct sunlight, strenuous exercise, and makeup during this time to allow the skin to heal and optimize results. However, the exact downtime can vary based on the individual and the intensity of the treatment.

How often should I get microneedling?

For addressing minor concerns like fine lines or mild scarring, you should get microneedling every 4-6 weeks for about 3-6 sessions. If you have deeper scars or more significant skin issues, consider having 6-8 sessions, each spaced 4-6 weeks apart. After achieving your desired results, a maintenance treatment every 6-12 months is often recommended.

The Benefits of a Microneedling

Microneedling is a fantastic way to rejuvenate your skin, giving it a youthful boost by promoting collagen and elastin production. Not only does it smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, but it also works wonders on acne scars, making them less noticeable.

Another bonus? It supercharges your skin's ability to soak up topical products, enhancing their benefits. And, for many, it's a magic touch in refining skin texture, reducing pore size, and even lightening stretch marks.

Do at-home microneedling devices work?

While there are at-home microneedling devices available, professional treatments penetrate deeper and are generally more effective, with a more controlled and safe environment.
