Microneedling
Microneedling is a non-surgical rejuvenating skin treatment that creates microscopic openings in the surface of the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. This process results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime.
Book OnlineWhat is Microneedling?
Microneedling addresses a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Mild inelasticity
- Acne scars
- Large pores
- Rough skin
- Dull skin
Also referred to as percutaneous collagen induction, microneedling increases collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen, the supportive scaffolding of youthful skin, naturally declines with age. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps your skin become smoother, plumper, and firmer.
The Microneedling Process
Modern microneedling uses a handheld, pen-like device with a circular arrangement of tiny needles. The device penetrates the skin at precise depths, making the treatment highly customizable.
As the provider moves the device across the skin, the needles create tiny openings in the epidermis, triggering a healing response without damaging tissue.
Another benefit is enhanced absorption of topical products. The microscopic channels allow rejuvenating ointments, creams, and other skincare products to penetrate more effectively, enhancing results.
Healing and Recovery
After treatment, your face may be flushed and red for 24–72 hours. During this time, avoid applying facial cosmetics to prevent clogging the freshly opened pores.
Normal side effects for 24–48 hours may include peeling, dryness, swelling, and bumps. Following recommended moisturizers and cleansers will help recovery. Skin typically begins to look radiant within a few days, with results continuing to improve over the next couple of months as new collagen and elastin form.
