Get Your Glow Back with Microneedling

Get Your Glow Back with Microneedling

Is dull, dry skin getting you down? Are you ready to shake off the old year and head into the new one with glowing skin? If so, then microneedling may be for you. This medi spa treatment offers dramatic results after only one appointment, and it has a fast recovery time! Could this treatment be right for you? Here is what you need to know.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling works by creating multiple, microscopic injuries to the top layer of skin to trigger elastin and collagen production deeper in the skin. To achieve this, small needles are used to make micro perforations on the surface of the skin. The resulting cell regeneration and elastin and collagen production will leave you with softer, healthier-looking skin and smaller pores. Cell regeneration reduces the appearance of dryness and makes your skin look brighter. 

Who is a good candidate for microneedling?

Most people can safely get microneedling performed without any risks. If you take or have taken Accutane for acne, you must be off the product for one year before microneedling. You should also only get treatment if you do not have an active herpes outbreak or any open wounds or infections. Before you get microneedling, our med spa team will evaluate your skin, consider your goals, and help you decide if it is the best treatment to meet your needs. 

What happens during microneedling?

Thirty minutes before your treatment your skin care expert will apply a numbing cream to your face for your comfort. Next, they’ll roll the microneedling device strategically over your skin to create tiny perforations. Depending on your needs, a chemical peel or other medications may be applied after the treatment is completed, as the microneedling helps them absorb into the skin more effectively. After treatment, you may experience minor bleeding, swelling, or itching. Your skin care expert will tell you which products you should use and avoid after treatment and for how long.
