MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive, chemical free treatment that encourages collagen production in the skin. It is delivered with a handheld device which contains several very small needles at one end. The needles microscopically penetrate the skin, creating channels, for regrowth of collagen and elastin in the skin. The treatment has become a favorite as an ideal source for reducing the appearance of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone.

MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT DETAILS
​
Before the microneedling treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the skin (this is optional). This helps to minimize the pain associated with the treatment. Clients undergoing minimally penetrative treatments often compare it to microdermabrasion. For clients undergoing longer needle penetration, there may be some slight discomfort.
​
After the treatment is performed, most individuals experience redness and sensitivity. The skin may feel warm to the touch (like a mild sunburn). People who undergo aggressive levels of treatment may notice more severe side effects. There may be mild bleeding, swelling, and uncomfortable tightness. To ensure that these side effects are short lived, clients should touch the skin as little as possible and wear hypoallergenic sunscreen at all times. Most symptoms go away within 48 hours or less.
The full results of your first microneedling procedure will be visible within two to four weeks. To maximize results, however, clients typically need to undergo multiple treatments. The number of treatments depends on the individuals particular skin needs, but most people achieve their desired results in three to eight sessions.
