Microneedling

How Does Microneedling Work?

This minimally invasive procedure rejuvenates the skin via the use of ultra fine needles to cause surface level punctures in the skin. This prompts a natural healing process to activate the correction of flaws and inconsistencies in the skin. Microneedling is based on the theory that by performing a controlled skin injury, the body will respond by sending an increased amount of collagen and elastin to the treatment area to heal and soothe it. This results in a more flawless appearance and vibrant, smooth skin.

‍

What is it Used For?

Microneedling is commonly used to treat a wide range of skin problems including:

‍

• Fine wrinkles
• Surface level scars
• Under eye puffiness
• Enlarged pores
• Skin laxity

Does it Hurt?

Microneedling can cause minor discomfort depending on how sensitive your skin is. However, a topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment begins to ensure maximum comfort.

‍

Is There Any Downtime?

There is no downtime after treatment; however, some patients prefer to avoid social engagements for a few days. Your skin will appear as though it is sunburnt for up to a week after treatment, depending on the depth of the microneedling. For optimal results, we recommend avoiding products that contain acid for approximately one week.
