The microneedling procedure uses a microneedle pen to make hundreds of microscopic holes in the skin to trigger the skins natural healing process. This process jump starts collagen and elastin production in the skin, resulting in more youthful, rejuvenated skin texture and appearance.
Microneedling can be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, surgical or acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation. Typically, multiple monthly sessions followed by a maintenance regimen generate the best results. Microneedling can be done on the face, neck, chest, hands or used to spot treat scars.
Prior to your appointment, we will prescribe a numbing cream for you to apply 45 minutes before your treatment to minimize any discomfort. Multiple layers of the cream can be applied to increase the numbing affect. Post-procedure, you may have redness like a mild sunburn that usually subsides by the following day.
