Microneedling Treatment

Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy is one of the most popular skincare treatments since its introduction to the beauty industry in 2012. It has a superior effect on collagen and elastin rejuvenation. This treatment is extremely popular because there is no downtime. Clients can return to normal activities the same day. All the anti-aging and rejuvenation activity is happening underneath the skin’s surface so no one will immediately know you had this invasive treatment done. Prior to the treatment a numbing topical will be applied so there is little to no discomfort.

A microneedling facial is priced at around $200. Microneedling treatments can be combined with other treatments such as dermaplaning at very affordable price.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling anti-aging treatment, using a skincare device/pen containing ultra-fine sterile needles. The needles are simply glided over the skin (at an adjusted speed and depth depending on your specific skin condition) which leads to the formation of small punctures and possible light superficial bleeding. The pain experienced is of a very low level as the needles only prick the top layers of the skin.

How Does Microneedling Work?

The small channels created by the needles are like micro-wounds. Just as every wound sets the healing process of the body into motion, these tiny injuries also stimulate the collagen and elastin formation process of the dermis layer of skin. This treatment is a way of reminding the body to reboot the collagen and elastin production process, which then leads to the formation of new and healthier layers of skin cells that is thicker and plumper than ever before.

What Results Does Microneedling Give?

Microneedling first came to the United States in 2012. It can tackle a variety of skin concerns.

Microneedling is an effective skincare procedure with many benefits. Some uses of microneedling include:

• • • Minimizing visible pores
    • Reduction of acne scars
    • Reduction of stretch mark and injury scars
    • Smooths fine lines and plumps wrinkles
    • Treating dark circles and bags under eyes by plumping the collagen and thickening the skin layers
    • Brighten and Tighten skin
    • Rejuvenating Skin

What Are The Benefits Of Microneedling?

Microneedling most definitely improves skin health and appearance. But it has long-term benefits to increase skin quality, which stands out the most. The dermis is forced to convert to its ‘defense mode’ by producing these small micro-channels in the skin, causing the wound-healing response to go into overdrive, resulting in increased elastin and collagen formation. As collagen and elastin are stimulated, it doubles, increases and strengthens in size and shape for 12 weeks after the treatment. The benefits continue to improve the skin.
