Microneedling
What's Microneedling?
Microneedling is a unique treatment that harnesses the body’s powerful healing processes to enhance your skin from the inside out. It is performed using a safe, handheld device with very fine, short needles which create tiny “micro-channels” in the skin — this stimulates your body’s natural healing response through building collagen and elastin-rich tissue. Your skin will be left looking tighter, firmer, and younger-looking.
Why Should I Get Microneedling?
Microneedling has significant benefits for:
- Age Spots
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Enlarged Pores
- Sun Damage
- Acne Scars
- Stretch Marks
- And More!
Long-Lasting Results with Little Downtime
Microneedling treatment is safe for a wide range of skin colors and types. It requires no incisions or injections and can be completed in a single appointment.
After treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and pinpoint bleeding in the treatment area that will typically resolve within a few days. There is no prolonged downtime. We recommend avoiding intense workouts for two days following your treatment, as sweat can irritate the skin. Using a medical grade daily sunscreen and avoiding long sun exposure will help protect your skin as it heals.
Results from microneedling will gradually develop in the weeks following your session as it takes time for the new, healthy cells to grow. The triggering of new cell stimulation makes the youthful results last for years.
