Improve Your Skin with Microneedling

Over time your skin can go through many changes and be negatively impacted by age or environmental factors. Uneven skin tone, wrinkles, stretch marks, and sun spots can distract from your natural features or significantly age you. Acne can lead to scarring, giving skin an uneven texture that is difficult to cover up.

Technological advancements and a deeper understanding of the skin’s natural healing process has led to the development of microneedling. A non-surgical and minimally-invasive option for skin resurfacing, microneedling  begins the body’s natural healing process to fill in scars and reduce other signs of aging through collagen and elastin production.

Who is microneedling good for?

Some factors leading to skin aging are hereditary, but others are due to environmental factors like stress, poor diet, pollution, excess amounts of sun exposure, and more. Additionally, with age your skin can begin to lose volume, creating wrinkles and making acne scars more visible. Microneedling is ideal for anyone who is experiencing a reduction in collagen production and are noticing negative signs of aging.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is also a natural alternative to some injectable fillers or other treatments for skin irregularities. The procedure engages your body’s healing process to smooth out your skin without the need for other substances or fillers. The needles used in microneedling devices are tiny and only come in contact with the first few layers of skin. You will likely experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, and the healing process is quick and easy.

Why microneedling over other treatments?

Besides the short recovery time and minimal discomfort, microneedling has other advantages. The simple procedure can be used to treat a wide variety of skin irregularities that, in some cases, can take multiple treatments to alleviate. For example, fillers can improve the appearance of scars or wrinkles but cannot treat discolorations like sun spots on the surface of the skin. Some forms of skin resurfacing can cause discoloration in people of color. This is not a problem with microneedling, which can be used on virtually any skin tone or texture.

More About Microneedling

How the Procedure is Performed

While there are a few different types of microneedling devices, the procedure remains the same. A small device with a grouping of tiny needles is passed over the skin while the needles gently poke the surface of the skin, creating tiny channels to inspire the body’s natural regenerative process.

The treatment can also be used in conjunction with a topical cream or vitamin-rich serum because the small needles push the formula deeper into the skin, amplifying the beneficial properties.

What results can I expect from Microneedling?

Collagen and elastin production will begin immediately after receiving your treatment and will continue over the next few weeks, filling in indentations from scars, dissolving hyperpigmented areas, and revitalizing the surface of your skin. You will be amazed at your smooth and bright complexion, achieved without the use of fillers or resurfacing treatments. Microneedling can take years off the look of your face and give you a youthful glow.

 

How long will the results last?

Some patients will need a few treatments to achieve optimal results, and the longevity of those results will vary by person. The skin will still gradually age, but typically patients will retain the results of their microneedling procedure for a few months. The treatments can then be repeated as necessary.

Recovery After Microneedling


You are typically able to resume normal activities right away because of the minimally-invasive nature of microneedling procedures. Your skin might be slightly sensitive and pink in the treatment areas, and you should avoid going in direct sunlight for extended periods until your skin heals. You likely won’t even be able to tell you had a microneedling procedure after 1 or 2 days!
