What is Microneedling?

As we age, our bodies go through changes that affect us in different ways, including the health and appearance of our skin. The skin naturally produces proteins like collagen and elastin that are essential for keeping the skin tight and smooth. Collagen provides structure that helps keep the skin thick, tough, and tight. Elastin helps the skin stay resilient by providing elasticity and keeping it supple.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that utilizes the skin’s natural healing response to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. The treatment uses a special handheld device with a cluster of very fine needles. The device is gently passed over the skin’s surface, creating small wounds or microchannels. This triggers the skin’s healing response, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, this increased collagen production will help to tighten and strengthen the skin.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Microneedling also stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to support stronger, more resilient skin. Because it is minimally invasive, downtime is minimal or nonexistent, so that you can resume your normal daily activities quickly. It is also a non-surgical treatment, which means you don’t have to worry about incisions or anesthesia. Microneedling can:

  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Soften the appearance of acne scars
  • Improve skin tone and texture
  • Enhance the skin’s ability to absorb serums, creams, and other topical solutions.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Microneedling?

Microneedling is an excellent treatment option for people who want to address mild to moderate signs of facial aging without the need for surgery. Ideal candidates include:

  • Patients with signs of early facial aging
  • People with visible acne scars
  • Patients with uneven skin tone and texture
  • Individuals with darker skin tones

Combining My Microneedling with Other Treatments

Microneedling on its own can do wonders for the appearance of your face, but combining it with other facial rejuvenation treatments can provide more comprehensive results that may be the perfect combination for reaching your beauty goals.

PRP (Vampire Facial)

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, can be added to microneedling for an enhanced rejuvenation treatment often called a “Vampire Facial.” PRP comes from a small sample of your own blood and is applied to the skin after microneedling. The tiny channels created during treatment help the PRP absorb into the skin, where it can encourage collagen production and support healing. This combination can be especially helpful for improving uneven texture, fine lines, and acne scars.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can instantly add facial volume to areas like the cheeks, under-eyes, and lips. They can help smooth wrinkles and folds, restore volume, and enhance facial contours.

BOTOX

BOTOX is a great option for targeting fine lines and wrinkles in hard-to-reach or more delicate areas, like around the corners of the eyes. Combining BOTOX injections with microneedling can provide more uniform results across your face.

Spider Vein Laser Treatment

Spider veins and other visible blood vessels can take away from the natural beauty of your rejuvenated skin. Laser treatments can eliminate them and help you achieve the even, clear complexion you want.

Microneedling Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Microneedling Care

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment, so recovery is relatively quick and hassle-free. You can expect to experience some redness and tightness for the first few days. Flaking and peeling may occur around 3 to 5 days after the treatment. Your skin should feel normal again after about a week.

Because microneedling stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, results will develop gradually over time. Many patients notice a brighter, smoother complexion within a week after treatment, while improvements in skin texture and tone continue to develop over the following weeks. Maintaining a good skincare routine and protecting your skin from sun exposure can help to maintain your results.
