Microneedling Treatment Options
Series of 4-6 treatments recommended for optimal results every 3 -4 weeks
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. Your provider uses small needles to make micro perforations in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth.
Benefits of Microneedling:
-Reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots
-Increase overall skin brightness and hydration
-Reduce skin irritation and redness
-Smooth over skin lesions and scars
-Improve skin texture, vitality and pore size
-Helps combat the features that make us look tired
-Restore youthful facial volume
-Increase blood flow, revitalize skin color and firm up the skin
Suggested Enhancements:
Pre-Care
-Avoid anti-histamine and inflammatory drugs one week prior to treatment. These negate the effects of the procedure. The body's histamine and inflammatory responses are needed post procedure.
-Stop Laser Hair Removal, Electrolysis, Waxing, and Depilatory creams one week prior to treatment.
-Stop topical retinoids (tretinoin and retinoic acid (Retin-A, Renova, Refissa)) one week prior to treatment.
-If using Accutane, a 6-month waiting period after discontinuation of medication is required.

What to expect after your treatment:
-Immediate pinpoint bleeding may occur, which will resolve within 10 minutes.
-Minor redness and swelling will occur for 1-2 days.
-Minor peeling and flakiness will occur after a few days. Don't pick at the loose skin.
Post-Care
-The initial 24 hours post-procedure are the most critical. A Post Procedure Kit is recommended.
-Avoid direct sun and heat. This includes simple day-to-day tasks such as gardening, cooking over a hot stove for a long period of time, sitting next to a bonfire or fireplace, etc.
-Discontinue use of any Alpha-Hydroxy products. You may resume your homecare regimen when skin is no longer flaking and peeling.
