Microneedling

Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. Microneedling may also be combined with a topical treatment, like PRP (platelet rich plasma) or another vitamin-rich serum.

The SkinPen microneedling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

• Microneedling helps reduce the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin.
• Is appropriate for all skin types ,including darker skin that is more susceptible to hyperpigmentation.
• Can be used on many body parts.
• Has minimal risk of infections or scarring.

​Does microneedling hurt?

A topical anesthetic is typically applied prior to a SkinPen procedure. This allows for a comfortable experience for most people.

Is there downtime after the microneedling procedure?

The total healing time depends on each individual. Most patients have some slight swelling and redness/pinkness (like a mild to moderate sunburn) from 30 minuets to 24 hours

When will I see results after the Microneedling?

You’ll notice an immediate “glow” to your skin and it will continue to improve over the next few weeks. The full results can be seen up to 6 months post treatment as collagen production continues.

How many treatments are needed with the microneedling?

We recommend a series of at least three treatments about four to six weeks apart to see the best results. You can then do the treatment about once a year to maintain these results.
