Microneedling

Microneedling causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. 

Phase 1: Inflammation

• Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.

Phase 2: Proliferation 

• The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

Phase 3: Remodeling

• The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessel

• A plan for optimal results. Your physician may recommend a course of procedures based on your individual goals. Maintenance of your procedure might require multiple treatments.
• A comfortable procedure. Based on your needs, your esthetician will likely apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment area.
• A short procedure time. The treatment will likely take about 30 minutes.
• A mild sensation. Most patients report feeling only the slight vibration during the procedure.
• Minimal post-procedure effects. The skin will appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Additionally, the most common treatment responses experienced were dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, discomfort, tenderness, and burning. These conditions resolved over time without any further complications.
• Soothing aftercare. Your clinician will provide the proper after care to be used to prevent the skin from drying out post-treatment.
• An effective post-procedure protocol. Your provider might recommend an aftercare regimen.
