About Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to enhance your skin’s natural radiance. During this treatment, fine needles create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result? Smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with reduced wrinkles, scars, and improved texture.
What to Expect
The microneedling device is used to stimulate the tissue and improve the appearance of the skin. After prepping the skin and application of topical anesthetic, the procedure is performed in a safe and precise manner, utilizing a sterile needle cartridge. The procedure is typically completed in 60 minutes. Treatment time may vary based on the required treatment and anatomic site being treated. This very safe and effective procedure may be used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks without the pain of epidermal abrasion. At lower depths, microneedling can also be used to treat acne scarring. Four to six treatment sessions are recommended.
