MICRONEEDLING

Overview

Microneedling is a non-laser, skin resurfacing option for treating fine lines and wrinkles, scarring (especially acne scars), large pores, and skin texture issues. Microneedling is an effective treatment to naturally rejuvenate the skin and efficiently eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.

Who Can Benefit

Microneedling can be used on patients looking for skin rejuvenation and people who have certain skin conditions like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation or lax skin. Microneedling is great for all skin types (there is no heat involved, making it safer for dark skin), and it works well on all parts of the body.

How It Works

As the SkinPen applicator tip is applied to the skin, thousands of superficial micro-channels or holes are created. This process stimulates your skin’s natural ability to heal itself. The repair process begins almost immediately and, as a result, new collagen and elastin produce softer, firmer skin, as well as the reduction of wrinkles, acne scars, and textural issues.

Treatment

45-minute appointment.

Results

Redness for 24 hours up to 4 days is normal; visible improvements to the treated area begin to appear over 1-3 weeks. Continued improvement may continue for up to 6 months following treatment.
