Microneedling

Microneedling

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the natural wound-healing process of the skin and minimize cellular damage. It leads to operative remodeling of scar tissue and enhanced production of collagen, while maintaining intact the skin’s overall structure.

Conditions that Microneedling can help

Candidates for microneedling

Microneedling is appropriate for all scar depths and, because no heat is used, microneedling can be performed on any skin type and color.

The Treatment

The skin is cleaned and to ensure comfort, the skin is numbed, resulting in a pain-free treatment. Gliding the microneedling tip over your skin creates stimulating channels. Even flushing of the skin will indicate an ideal treatment.

Treatment time

One-hour treatment produces visible results. Results are improved after subsequent treatments:

Down time

2-3 days (versus ablative lasers which can take 2-3 weeks).

Aftercare

For the first 5 hours, use only hyaluronic acid to hydrate your skin (it will become very dry) and decrease visible redness. After 5 hours, use only water for cleaning, and hyaluronic acid for moisturizing. Wash your face with a very gentle cleanser the day after the treatment and protect your skin with mineral sun block.

Results

Results are instant. Collagen growth will be visible in about 6 weeks. Continued skin enhancement occurs over 6-12 months.
