Microneedling is a holistic approach to skin therapy. Your physiological wound response stimulates new healthy dermal and epidermal tissue growth. Using multiple microscopic needles to penetrate the surface layers of skin, the needle creates very small wound patterns and promotes healing to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, lip lines, acne scars, stretch marks, hyper-pigmentation, and large pores. The results are overall younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging.
What is Skinpen Microneedling?
Using multiple microscopic needles to penetrate the surface layers of skin, Skinpen® Micro-Needling tightens, lifts, and rejuvenates skin by naturally stimulating collagen production. We provide numbing to our patients before they receive this treatment.
What is Microneedling with Radiofrequency?
Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) uses the addition of radiofrequency energy to help further rejuvenate, tighten and stimulate the growth of healthy new skin. The use of RF waves works by targeting deep layers of the skin. Additional benefits include reduced appearance of wrinkles and increased collagen production.
What Does Microneedling Help Treat
- Increases Collagen
- Fine lines and moderate wrinkles
- Uneven texture, tone & color
- Stretch Marks
- Acne Scars
- Traumatic and surgical scars
- Photo aging
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, can enhance the outcome of your treatment, increase collagen production and accelerate healing. A syringe of blood is drawn and the plasma is separated from it. The plasma is then placed into the area being treated via the microneedling device. Microneedling with PRP can be used in several different areas of the body and can rejuvenate the skin, giving a firmer and more youthful appearance.
What is Microneedling RF with Tripollar?
The Legend Pro is a skin rejuvenation platform used for microneedling with the addition of Tripollar RF thermal energy and RF-assisted ultra thin electrodes. These two additions to the microneedling treatment work in tandem to tone the muscle layers in the face. Tripollar RF targets the deep dermis through the application of controlled heat. This triggers the regeneration of collagen and elastin to tighten loose skin, improve stretch marks, minimize wrinkles and fine lines, and so much more.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for individuals looking to address a variety of skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars from acne or surgery, uneven skin texture, and enlarged pores. You are likely a good candidate for microneedling if you meet the following criteria:
- Overall good health: You should ideally be without active skin infections, chronic skin disorders, or a history of poor wound healing.
- Realistic expectations: You should understand that results improve over time and multiple sessions may be required.
- A desire for a minimally invasive solution: You should want to see improvements without the downtime associated with more invasive procedures.
This treatment is safe for most skin types and shades, making it an inclusive option for skin rejuvenation. However, those who are pregnant, use certain acne medications, or have active skin infections might need to explore other treatments. During your initial consultation, our specialists will determine if microneedling is the best option for your skin goals.
What Is Recovery from Microneedling Like?
Recovery from microneedling is relatively straightforward, as it is a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime. You may experience mild redness and slight swelling akin to a mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. You may also notice skin flaking as the skin rejuvenates itself. Here are a few tips for a smooth recovery:
- Avoid direct sun exposure: Protect the skin with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher when avoiding the sun is not possible.
- Keep the skin hydrated: Use gentle moisturizers as advised by your practitioner to aid healing.
- Avoid makeup: It's typically recommended to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe and recover.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps your skin heal and regenerate faster.
Following the post-care guidelines provided by our experts can significantly enhance your comfort and the effectiveness of your results.
How Many Microneedling Treatments Do You Recommend?
The number of microneedling treatments recommended can vary based on the your skin condition and goals. Typically, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart is ideal for achieving significant improvements in skin texture and tone. Additional sessions may be beneficial for those dealing with deep scars or more significant signs of aging.
During your consultation, our specialists will tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs, taking into account your skin type, the area to be treated, and your desired outcomes. Regular maintenance sessions every year can help preserve the rejuvenating effects.
