Microneedling
What is microneedling?
Micro-needling is used to treat a variety of skin conditions that cause depression in the skin, such as acne scarring, surgical scars, other scars, burns, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and stretch marks.
Is it the same thing as collagen induction therapy?
Yes! Collagen induction therapy, (also known as micro-needling, derma-rolling, or skin needling), is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles.
What are the benefits of the treatment?
Microneedling is a transformative skin rejuvenation procedure that harnesses the body's natural healing abilities to revitalize the skin. This minimally invasive technique involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. The boost in these vital proteins results in the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, leading to a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion. Microneedling also enhances the absorption of skincare products, making them more effective. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and offers a safe, effective way to achieve radiant, healthy skin with minimal downtime.
How many seasons do I need?
The number of microneedling treatments needed varies depending on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes. Typically, a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results. However, deeper wrinkles, significant sun damage, or extensive acne scarring may require more sessions. It's important to note that results are cumulative, meaning your skin will continue to improve with each treatment. After the initial series, maintenance sessions every 6-12 months can help sustain the rejuvenating effects. A personalized consultation is essential to determine the best treatment plan for your unique skin needs.
