MICRO-NEEDLING TREATMENTS

Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) is an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that can improve the overall appearance of the skin with minimal down-time. The micro-needling process involves the creation of microscopic channels through the surface of the skin, which leads to formation of new tissue and releases the skin’s natural growth factors which promotes scar and hyperpigmentation repair and healing.

By creating minor skin injury during the procedure, the skin’s natural healing process initiates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers that thicken the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, acne scarring, sun damage, and stretch marks.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN MICRO-NEEDLING IMPROVE?

Micro-Needle based procedures can be used to effectively treat a variety of issues including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and aging spots
  • Light to moderate acne scarring
  • Stretch marks
  • Issues with skin texture or pore size
  • Post-surgical scarring

HOW ARE MICRO-NEEDLING PROCEDURES PERFORMED?

Micro-Needling uses a hand-held pen device studded with up to 12 micro-needles that range between 0.5mm to 2.5mm in length. Shorter length needles are typically used on the face while longer lengths are used on other areas of the body.

The procedure begins with the application of topical gel to the targeted area of the skin. The pen is then gently pressed against the skin in a single motion, creating tiny punctures (pin pricks) on the top layers of the skin. This process is repeated until the entire treatment area is covered.

Depending on the patient’s desired treatment various topical application based skincare products can then be applied to the area. The micro channels created by the pen allow better absorption into the deeper layers of the skin; increasing the efficacy for a more dramatic result.

For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER THE PROCEDURE?

Many patients experience light to moderate redness for a period of 24 hours or less after the procedure. In order to minimize redness we recommend patients to avoid direct sunlight and use mineral makeup and hyaluronic acid.

IS MICRO-NEEDLING SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

Micro-Needling is safe for patients with all skin colors (Fitzpatrick scale types) and skin types. There is no risk of pigmentation or post-inflammatory related issues.
