Do you have acne scars, age spots, fine lines/wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin tone, or reduced skin elasticity? We have the answers to those minor imperfections! Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to treat skin concerns via collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy.
How does it work?
Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and respond by making new collagen-rich tissue. This new skin tissue is, in turn, more even in tone and texture. It’s normal for the skin to lose collagen via age or injury. So by encouraging the skin to make new tissue, there may be more collagen to help make the skin firmer, too.
Are there any risks or side effects?
The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure. You may also see redness for a few days.
What to expect after Microneedling?
Microneedling isn’t invasive like plastic surgery, so the recovery time is minimal. You can go back to work or school after the procedure if you’re comfortable. Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is a must. After microneedling, your skin works fairly quickly to rejuvenate new tissue. In theory, you should see results within a couple of weeks. To maintain the results of your treatment, you’ll need multiple sessions and perhaps other complementing treatments. Your doctor will advise you on the best plan of action based on your individual goals.
