Imagine using your skin’s natural healing ability to fight wrinkles, reduce acne scarring and improve texture!
Micro-Needle Skin Therapy is a multi-function skin therapy that uses multiple thin small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin.These small contact points encourage the body to create a wound healing responseand increase the production of collagen to renew the skin cells. As your skin repairs, serum growth factors stimulate new collagen and elastin development.
It is a noninvasive way to fight signs of aging and treat skin conditions like redness, tone problems, or lost volume.This treatment is most used to combat acne and surgical scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, loose and non-elastic skin and stretch marks.It’s proven more effective than laser treatments and chemical peels for stimulating collagen and improving the elasticity of the skin, improving wrinkles, fine lines and scars.

What to expect during treatment?
If the patient chooses, a topical numbing may be applied to the skin to reduce discomfort during the microneedling procedure. Once the skin is cleansed and free of makeup, the therapist begins the treatment by sectioning the face into notecard sized areas, typically beginning at the forehead and moving to each cheek, chin and nose separately.
The therapist uses the microneedling handpiece to make direct contact with the skin as the tiny needle points are expertly and rapidly directed into the areas being treated. This method of microneedling is described as feeling like a strong vibration on the skin, and patients are surprised to find that there is no pain during the procedure. Your therapist may focus more heavily on areas of specific concern, such as acne scarring or areas with deeper lines and wrinkles.

What to expect following treatment?
Immediately following treatment, the skin will be red and mildly swollen. Your provider will apply a medical grade serum to help bring down the redness and speed up healing time. Patients are able to return to normal activity immediately after their appointment as there is no downtime associated with microneedling.
The swelling and redness will subside on their own within 24-48 hours. During the next 2-7 days the skin will self-exfoliate and begin to flake. This process is simply evidence of the damaged tissue being removed from the skin and is a sign that new healthy and collagen-rich cells are making their way to the surface layer of the skin. The dryness can be easily managed with the use of a nightly cleanser and moisturizer. One week after the procedure, patients begin to notice a change in the overall texture and tone of their skin. Pigmentation improvement can be seen typically around 3 weeks, and the smoothing of lines, wrinkles and scars is generally apparent 6 weeks post-treatment.

Micro-Needling Procedure for Hair Growth
Studies have shown that microneedling can treat androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and some cases of alopecia areata. Microneedling has been successfully paired with other hair growth promoting therapies, such as minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma and topical steroids, and shown to stimulate hair follicle growth. It is thought that microneedling facilitates penetration of such first-line medications, and this is one mechanism by which it promotes hair growth. Aside from collagen production in the skin, which is thought to underlie one of the reasons it may be beneficial for acne scars, it’s thought that microneedling can also help induce stem cells in the hair follicles that may lead to hair growth
