What Can Microneedling Treat?

Sun-Damaged Skin

Over the years, UV radiation from the sun can cause your skin to become dry, patchy, and lackluster. This helps to improve skin texture and regenerate skin cells.

Acne Scars

Acne can be a long-standing issue, but with microneedling, we are able to encourage collagen production to reduce the texture of the skin and lessen those stubborn scar marks.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

If you experience early signs of aging, microneedling helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production to reduce wrinkles and make the skin tighten.

Enlarged Pores

The skin becomes tighter, and pores appear smaller after microneedling, which brings out a more polished look on the skin.

Dull Skin

Tired of dull, lifeless skin? The application of this treatment promotes blood flow and the regeneration of skin cells and leaves you with glowing skin.

Scars

From surgeries or accidents, microneedling enables the treatment process to work on the scar tissue, forcing the skin to heal and grow.

Stretch Marks

Microneedling is highly effective in treating stretch marks because it triggers the skin repair mechanism, enhancing the appearance of the skin.

Skin Rejuvenation and Tightening

In addition to solving particular problems, microneedling improves overall skin brightness and makes it smoother, tauter, and even healthier.

What to Expect?

Before Your Treatment

Before Your Treatment

Your process starts with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced practitioners. In this consultation, we will talk about your skin issues and experiences, as well as your expectations from the treatment, to decide if you are a candidate for microneedling. We will also advise on how to prepare for the session in order to get the best results as per the individual’s needs.

    • Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid tanning for 72 hours before the appointment and do not go out in the sun. As with most treatments, microneedling cannot be done on areas that are sunburned or irritated.
    • No Active Skin Conditions: We may advise against some patients undergoing the treatment if they have conditions such as rosacea, or eczema or if they have active acne.
    • Discontinue Certain Products: For at least a few days before the treatment, it is necessary to refrain from using products containing retinoids, chemicals, or acids that can cause skin peeling.
    • Arrive with Clean Skin: You should not wear makeup, lotion, or other skin products on your face before your treatment.

During Your Treatment

Your microneedling session will be comfortable and aligned with the goals of the treatment. Duration of treatments varies from thirty to sixty minutes depending on the area of treatment and skin type.

    • Topical Numbing Cream: To reduce the sensation during the procedure, a local anesthetic in the form of a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. The cream usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to fully impact the body.
    • Microneedling Process: Our professional dermatologists use a microneedling pen or derma roller with small, ultra-fine needles to pierce the skin’s surface. These needles help stimulate the body’s healing mechanism and promote collagen and elastin formation. Some patients may experience minimal discomfort, but overall, it is a tolerable procedure.
    • Customization: The depth of the needles used is modified depending on your concerns. For issues on the skin surface, such as a lack of glow, the needles are not very deep, while issues that are deeper, such as scars or stretch marks, require slightly deeper penetration.
During Your Treatment
After Your Treatment

After Your Treatment

The healing process starts right after the session is done, though the improvements start to show over time.

    • Immediate Effects: After the treatment, the skin may look slightly red or even flushed, like after a sunburn. This is perfectly fine and usually resolves within the first day that the patient is admitted. A little dryness or flaking may appear, as the skin is constantly shedding.
    • Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, we will suggest how to continue caring for the skin and what creams or serums to use. Don’t wear makeup for the first one to two days to let the skin recover without interference.
    • Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure for several days after the procedure and wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
    • Gradual Results: In the subsequent weeks, you will find your skin glowing, smooth, and tighter. The final results of microneedling show up gradually, as increased levels of collagen improve the health of your skin over time.

The Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is an innovative skincare technique that provides numerous advantages for the skin using very fine needles to trigger healing reactions in the body. This technique promotes the synthesis of collagen and elastin, making skin more supple, firm, and wrinkle-free. Here are some of the powerful benefits of microneedling:

1. Enhances Skin Firmness and Elasticity

Microneedling initiates the release of a protein called collagen and elastin, which are used by the skin to firm up. Consequently, the skin becomes firmer and elastic, and the changes will manifest themselves in the skin.

2. Reduces Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots

The treatment has been found to be very effective in fading dark spots, sun damage, and other types of hyperpigmentation. It encourages skin regeneration, which helps erase skin discoloration and gives you youthful, glowing skin.

3. Minimizes Stretch Marks

Stretch marks, resulting from pregnancy, weight loss, or various factors, can be effectively treated using microneedling. It promotes the formation of new skin and tends to level the stretch marks, making them less visible.

4. Improves Skin Hydration

Microneedling helps in creating micro-channels in the skin, which in turn helps the moisturizers and serums to be absorbed more easily into the skin. This can help improve skin moisture, making the skin texture silky and much healthier.

5. Smooths Rough or Uneven Skin

Microneedling helps correct the texture of skin with rough surfaces, acne scars, or large pores. The treatment enhances the rate of skin cell shedding, allowing the formation of a new layer of skin cells that makes the skin surface appear refined.
