How MicroneedlingWorks

Microneedling is cost-effective and suitable in areas where chemical peels or laser resurfacing are not – for example, around the eyes or mouth.

Patients report overall tolerance to the treatment, which has minimal downtime. Better yet, it is easy to individualize. For instance, areas with skin damage that require a more aggressive approach will undergo treatment with longer needles. 

Rejuvenating has never been so easy! Microneedling - sometimes called collagen induction therapy - is a simple, fast, and safe treatment for wrinkles and scars. Because the top layer of skin -a.k.a the epidermis- stays intact, the procedure is safe upon repeated sessions.  

When using a microneedling device with topical serums, the skin's absorption of vitamins, enzymes, lipids, and other ingredients is enhanced. The repair process begins almost immediately.

The treatment is completed in as little as 30 minutes or as long as 90 minutes — this time depends on the size of the area you want microneedling. 

Multiple treatments are necessary for optimal results. The number of sessions depends on the skin condition targeted for treatment.

• The professional recommendation is 3 to  4 treatments for mild to moderate acne scarring
• In case of deeper scars and stretch marks, you might require six treatments.
• Keep in mind 4 to 6-week intervals between treatments are recommended for your safety and comfort. 
• Last but not least, we strongly recommend maintenance treatments every 6 - 12 months to keep your skin glowing. 

There is redness for about 24 hours, yet, most people feel comfortable going out in public after that first day. Laser procedures and chemical peels are more invasive and require more downtime.

Microneedling is safe and effective for people of every skin color. Since micro-needling doesn't produce the heat that lasers do, there is little risk of developing dark spots after treatment.

This process does not remove tissue; therefore, there's little to no risk of infection; this is just another reason the recovery time is so short – and another advantage for those with active lifestyles.

Microneedling pens like the Skin Pen have an ergonomic design, and the needle depth is adjustable. Meaning that just about any part of your body can be treated. It's also able to treat areas on the neck, chest, abdomen, back, hands, arms, and legs. The pen is gently moved across your skin, covering all the treatment area. Topical lidocaine cream makes the procedure virtually painless.

Service Step by Step

1. Numbing cream > This should help the pain however some discomfort is normal, especially in areas with less fatty tissue and direct bone contact.
2. Clean skin with cleanser
3. Apply peptides > Peptides are the foundations of the skin and are responsible for its texture, strength and resilience.
4. Microneedling > A small pen with very fine needles is used to create small, controlled wounds. These micro wounds create a channel that triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin.
