MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is our favorite rejuvenating treatment for your skin! Using tiny needles, it promotes regeneration, smooths out texture, boosts collagen, and leaves you with a radiant glow! It’s a wonderful way to nurture your skin, encouraging its natural healing process and revealing its inherent beauty!
Revitalize your skin cells with Microneedling Collagen Induction Therapy. Microneedling uses a specialized device, equipped with fine needles to cause intentional micro-injuries at precise depths. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing response process, which then stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that contribute to skin’s firmness and elasticity.
One of the biggest benefits of microneedling is its versatility. It is ideal for effectively smoothing out skin texture, reducing pore size, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and lifting superficial pigmentation. This treatment also enhances the absorption and efficacy of topical skincare products, maximizing the benefits for your skin.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, scars, and hyperpigmentation. Safe for virtually anyone, this treatment helps rejuvenate your skin, giving it a smoother, more youthful look.
Before starting your treatment, our experienced providers will assess your skin and discuss your goals and unique needs. We will apply a topical numbing cream that is left on for about 20-30 minutes, making treatment relatively painless, with minimal discomfort. Most people report generally feeling a vibration on the skin during this service.
Included in your treatment is the option of Exosomes or PRF (see below) for added healing and regenerative benefits. Our providers will help guide you through the best option to help you reach your goal(s).
Immediately following the procedure, your skin will be pink or red with some heat and light swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. As your skin heals, you’ll notice gradual improvements in its texture, tone, and overall appearance. For optimal results, we recommend a series of microneedling sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
Post care is critical for the best outcomes to get your skin glowing and healthy. It is important to keep your skin clean and hydrated as it’s healing, and to stay out of direct sunlight or intense heat. Total healing time depends on the individual, however any redness, slight swelling, or skin flaking will subside after 2-4 days for the majority. We may suggest products with Vitamin C or Brightening ingredients as part of your post-procedure care.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) involves a quick blood draw, using your own components rich in growth factors. When applied during microneedling, PRF enhances tissue repair, collagen production, and skin rejuvenation. It promotes faster healing, improves skin texture, and boosts overall results, providing a natural and effective skincare solution.
What is PRF?
Exosomes are a concentrated treatment solution derived from human stem cells, cultured in a laboratory, and are guaranteed to contain 10 billion exosomes per vial, consistently delivering beneficial results. Exosomes are tiny vesicles, rich in growth factors, peptides and various proteins. These tiny messengers deliver potent rejuvenating signals, accelerate healing and improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity for a radiant complexion. Exosomes are mixed with hydrating hyaluronic acid when used with microneedling.
