MICRONEEDLING
A multipurpose treatment that uses your skin’s natural healing abilities to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This can be done with deeper needles after numbing cream. Use your platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for extra collagen-boosting properties (Vampire Facial/Facial with PRP).
ABOUT microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production. If done by a medical professional, such as a nurse/dermatologist, this multi-purpose deeper treatment takes advantage of the body’s natural healing process to treat a variety of skin conditions. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.
wHAT IT IS
Microneedling uses a handheld electronic pen that punctures the skin with extremely quick and sharp, sterile needles. This application to the skin helps stimulate the skin’s healing process, which includes the increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health.
how it works
Nurses are allowed to do deeper microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a numbing cream will be applied before the treatment. During the treatment, you may feel some warmth and a scratching/pulling sensation as the device moves over your skin, but the numbing cream should keep pain to a minimum. Immediately after treatment, your skin will likely be red and swollen; this can last up to a few days. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the procedure, but you should stay out of the sun until your skin heals.
