Microneedling
Stimulates new elastin and collagen production in your face and neck
Collagen induction therapy, also known as microneedling, creates hundreds of tiny wounds in the top layer of skin using fine needles. This treatment successfully helps repair skin from the effects of aging, as well as pigment issues, sun damage, and acne scars.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive treatment that delivers tiny punctures to the skin using micro-fine needles. This causes healing to take place in the skin and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin.
What does microneedling treat?
- Repairs visible scars
- Reverses sun damage and pigmentation issues
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightens skin
What should I expect after my microneedling treatment?
Prior to the treatment, numbing cream will be applied to minimize the slight pain that is felt during the procedure. After the treatment, you will have some inflammation; however, this will be temporary and will subside greatly within several hours. Mild swelling reduces over one day. Your skin may remain a little red for two days after the treatment. The inflammation and swelling can be soothed with topical creams applied after the procedure.
Using hyaluronic acid after the procedure can help reduce inflammation. Sunscreen should always be used to protect the skin. A good mineral makeup, such as glominerals™ is an excellent makeup to use after the treatment.
How many treatments are recommended, and what results should I see?
Three treatments are recommended for increasing collagen and elastin production. However, you will see improvement after only one treatment. Scar reduction may require more than three treatments.
After the treatment, your skin begins to heal itself immediately, producing new collagen that stays active for approximately a year. This new collagen and increased elastin production will provide you with younger, healthier, and firmer-looking skin.
You will notice fewer wrinkles, fine lines, and a reduction in acne scars. Most of all, you will experience better overall tone and texture in your skin.
