MICRONEEDLING

Do you feel that your skin is looking dull, or you are bothered by the appearance of skin concerns? If so, microneedling may be an effective option for you. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure performed to address a number of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, large pores, acne, scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, and sun damage. It utilizes a special tool that creates micro-wounds in your skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which are powerful building blocks for healthy, evenly toned, and youthful-looking skin. 

There is minimal downtime associated with microneedling. Redness, swelling, and inflammation are expected following your treatment, which should peak after 2-3 days and then resolve over time. While you may be asked to avoid strenuous activities for the first few days following treatment, most people can return to work as soon as they feel comfortable. Most patients will experience some skin flaking and peeling about three days after treatment – this is a sign of new skin generating under the old layer. Improvements in skin tone and texture are apparent after 2-3 weeks. Most people require 4-6 microneedling treatment sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart for the best results.
