MICRONEEDLING
WHAT MICRONEEDLING?
Skin concerns can run the gamut - from dealing with residual acne scarring to treating the signs of aging skin. Fortunately, you don’t have to turn to surgery to address many of these issues. Nonsurgical treatments have evolved into efficient, practical solutions for a wide range of skin problems.
Microneedling is one of those versatile procedures that work with the natural processes of your body to regenerate and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment offers improvement for an array of skin concerns, creating a smoother, more vibrant complexion in the process. Microneedling uses a controlled induction of the skin's self-repair mechanism by creating micro-"injuries" in the skin, triggering new collagen synthesis without the risk of permanent scarring. The result is smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin.
Micro-needling procedures are performed in a safe and precise manner with the use of the sterile, disposable needle head. Patients are numbed topically prior to the procedure to allow for a comfortable treatment.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia and typically requires little downtime (redness may subside in a couple of hours, and you should feel your skin back to normal in 2 to 3 days). Patients are numbed topically prior to the procedure allowing for little to no pain during the procedure.
