Radiant Skin with Medical Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen-induction therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that offers an alternative to other invasive treatments. This therapy uses a micropen to stimulate collagen production, resulting in long-lasting and quick skin rejuvenation outcomes. It can address various skin conditions such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne, enlarged pores, age spots, dark spots, and even hair restoration. Microneedling is also effective in improving skin firmness and significantly enhancing serum absorption. In fact, when facial serums are used, the absorption of the serum can be increased by up to 1000%. Microneedling is based on a 2000-year-old East Asian beauty method for enhancing and maintaining beautiful skin.
What can I expect from the treatment?
The treatment is gentle and uses organic and vegan physician-formulated serum. Before the treatment, a topical anesthetic will be applied to lightly numb the area. During the treatment, a MicroPen will create microchannels that help remodel and rejuvenate the skin. After the treatment, the skin may appear pink or slightly red, but it typically disappears after 12-24 hours. You will start noticing visible results after the first treatment, and the improvement will continue over 3-6 monthly treatments. You can expect the results to last up to 5 years!
How does Microneedling Work?
Collagen induction stimulates the immune system, causing micro-wounds, which trigger an intense healing response. There are three phases to the therapy. The first is the immune response, which cleans and removes the skin's debris, improves blood circulation, and builds new tissue. The next phase is where the skin is rebuilt, and new blood vessels develop. The final stage is replacing the wound with new skin tissue and blood vessels, creating firmer, brighter, and more even skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling also stimulates hair follicles to restore eyebrows, beard, and scalp hair.
What are the Benefits of Microneedling?
The therapy is safe for all skin types and ages, smoothes the skin's texture, and reduces the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. The treatment boosts collagen and elastin production so the skin looks firmer, fuller, and tighter. Microneedling exfoliates and erases hyperpigmentation for a luminous and radiant complexion. Finally, it increases the absorption of facial serums by 1000% and restores hair growth (eyebrows, beard, and scalp).
