What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate your skin and promote a youthful, radiant complexion. This treatment involves the use of tiny, fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, the essential building blocks of healthy skin. Microneedling is effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, leaving your skin smoother, firmer, and more even-toned

How Does Microneedling Work?

During a microneedling treatment, SkinPen®, a device with fine, sterile needles is gently applied to the skin, creating controlled micro-channels. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural wound-healing process. As the skin repairs itself, new collagen and elastin fibers form, resulting in plumper, more youthful skin. The procedure is relatively quick, typically lasting about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, and other areas where you’d like to improve skin texture and tone.

Microneedling is effective in treating a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

What to Expect

Microneedling is a safe and comfortable procedure with minimal downtime. Here’s what to expect:

Before the Treatment: Your skin will be cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

During the Treatment: You will feel a mild prickling sensation as the microneedling device glides over your skin.

After the Treatment: You may experience some redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. Your skin may also feel tighter, and you may notice some peeling or flaking as your skin renews itself.

Results: Most clients see visible improvements within a few days, with continued improvements over the following weeks as collagen production increases. For optimal results, multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended.
