If you've never heard of micro needling your in for a treat! Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy, is a facial rejuvenation treatment that simulates the body's natural healing process to remodel the skin. It greatly increases the production of collagen and elastin while enhancing the absorption of products like hylaronic acid up to 2000%. This leads to a more even skin tone that appears taut and glowing!
Noticeable Results include:
Reduced appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
Improved hyperpigmentation and age spots
Lessen effects of sun damage
Decreased pore size
Improved skin texture and elasticity
Decreased acne breakouts
Diminished scars
The number of treatments needed to see results varies based on your specific skin care goals. Because collagen production diminishes as we get older, we experience sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles and dehydrated skin. Most patients will see benefits within 3 monthly treatments. Depending on desired results and the condition of the skin, more treatments may be needed. The real beauty of microneedling is that your skin will start to increase its own collagen and cellular turnover so that results can be dramatic and long lasting.
NanoNeedling
Nanoneedling is a technique that can be used in between treatments to continue resurfacing the skin and improving its texture. Nanoneedling increases cellular turnover and collagen production as well as product absorption. The microscopic tips target the entire face and are gentle enough to be safe to use around the eyes and lips
To Prepare for Microneedling
Stop the use of the following products one week prior to your appointment.
Topical Retinoids
Exfoliating Products
Topical acids and peels
Direct sun exposure
Laser treatments
Facial waxing
And Wait 2 weeks post Botox and Dermal fillers.
Directly after treatment, you will notice that your skin may feel taut and hot with some redness lasting up to 2 days. After 3 days, skin may peel or flake as cellular turnover increases. Since congested pores have been opened, some breakouts may occur as your skin purges from treatment.
Within a week or two, your skin will be smoother and glowing!!
Follow up treatments should be scheduled monthly for microneedling and weekly for nanoneedling.
