MICRONEEDLING – Time for an ACUlift!

Microneedling is a nontoxic revolutionary cosmetic treatment!
It can effectively:

  • Minimize fine lines and wrinkles/tighten and firm the skin on your face and neck

  • Rebuild collagen lost through aging

  • Diminish Hyperpigmentation and smooth skin tone

  • Enhance the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products.

  • Reduce the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring

What is Microneedling:  

Sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy.  It promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin fibers responsible for skin structure and elasticity.  As we age, these fibers break down, causing wrinkles and sagging.  

Microneedling uses ultrafine sterile needles that penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production without permanent injury to the skin. 

What to expect on your visit:

Before Treatment:  Topical anesthetic is applied. 

Gentle Treatment: Application of an organic, vegan serum containing: Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, and Vitamin C will be used during the session.  The Micropen is gently guided across your face to stimulate and create micro punctures in the upper dermis layer of the skin. This initiates the body's natural skin healing powers to create more collagen and elastin.

*** If you are afraid of needles, don't worry; the stimulation from the microfine needles only enters the surface layer of your skin and glides across your skin smoothly, and feels somewhat like sandpaper brushing across your skin.

Post Treatment: 

Following your treatment, your skin may appear pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn .  This typically disappears after 12-24 hours.  This is minimal downtime compared to other cosmetic procedures that deliver similar results! You will receive a take home arnica and aloe topical spritz to help cool and soothe your skin.

Results:  

Results are sometimes apparent after one treatment and will improve over a series of 3-6 monthly treatments.  Results may start to be visible within two weeks of treatment and can last up to 5 years.

** Microneedling can treat multiple areas of the body, including the entire face, neck, decollete, hands, arms, and scarring anywhere on the body.

Numerous research studies:

This 2008 study found that skin treated with 4 microneedling sessions spaced 1 month apart had a 400% increase in collagen and increased within six months following treatment.

Another study on microneedling and collagen induction therapy also concluded that in as little as 4 treatments, patients saw improvements in fine wrinkles, lax skin, and scarring.  Results confirmed tighter, smoother skin!

NANO Needling:

Nano Needling is an in-between treatment that can be used to enhance the effects of microneedling or on its own. Nano-needling only punctures the first layer of the skin (epidermis), while micro-needling penetrates into the deep dermis. It is especially effective for fine wrinkles around the eyes and lips. It can be done weekly with no downtime!
