Microneedling

Microneedling Overview

Microneedling is a procedure where we use micro needles to make channels in the skin to promote collagen.  The promotion of collagen will then reheal the skin.  Basically we are self inflicting and tricking our bodies into healing themselves.  Isn’t the body amazing?  Microneedling is great for improving

• fine lines and wrinkles
• uneven skin tones
• acne scarring
• scarring
• shrinking pours
• lifting and tightening skin

Microneedling can also be performed on the body to address issues such as stretch marks and scars.

Contraindications

Microneedling should not be performed if you have any of the following conditions:

What to Expect

We start out by cleansing the skin followed by using a topical numbing cream to make you as comfortable as we can.  Most clients sit super comfortably. You will leave with mild to severe redness depending on how sensitive your skin is.  Redness subsides within a couple hours leaving you with a sun kissed look.  Your face will be red for 2-3 days and may or may not begin to peel around 3-5 days. Your face should be completely healed around 1-1.5 weeks.  We recommend 3 appointments 4 weeks apart from each other to get the maximum benefits from microneedling.
