What Microneedling Treats

• Improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of wrinkles
• Stimulates tissue regeneration
• Disfiguring scars, especially acne scars, can be improved as new collagen fibers elevate the depressed scar tissue with the periphery skin
• Pore size reduction
• Improves the appearance of stretch marks

How Treatment Works

The skin is cleansed and numbing cream is applied to lessen discomfort. For better results we use a collagen-stimulating product like hyaluronic acid, vitamin-C serum or skin lightener for pigmentation during the procedure. A small handheld pen like device with a sterile, disposable tip with 12 tiny needles is then used to pierce the skin. Our needling pen’s multi-speed and adjustable needle depth allow needles to pierce the skin’s layer at 90 degrees and increase the absorption of products. After the treatment, soothing vitamin-C serum or hyaluronic acid are used to hydrate, heal and protect the skin.

Results and Downtime

Most people will experience redness and mild swelling similar to a mild sunburn for 24-48 hours and there may be minimal pin-point bleeding and/or bruising. Within a week or two, you will notice that your skin is smoother and more radiant looking; although the full effects won’t be seen until a few months later.

The inflammatory reaction of the skin is extremely short and fades significantly within hours from redness to pinkish that may last for 12 to 48 hours. In order to reduce visible redness, we recommend hyaluronic acid after the procedure, and to protect the skin with a zinc-based sunblock. The use of mineral makeup is recommended after procedure.
