Microneedling
Microneedling is also called Collagen Induction Therapy. It is a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime that uses a handheld device with tiny needles to penetrate the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin at varying depths.
How It Works
Microneedling works by creating thousands of micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s repair mechanism: collagen and elastin production
It allows for more absorption of the products used during and after treatment
Unlike peels or lasers, microneedling does not burn the top layer of the skin, so the downtime is minimal.
Results are cumulative and increase with each treatment
What Microneedling Is Used For
Aged and sagging skin
Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin tightening and rejuvenation
Enlarged pores
Stretch marks
Scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, trauma injury scars and burn scars
Uneven skin tone
What To Expect At Your Appointment
Microneedling sessions last 60 minutes. We will begin with an intake to discuss your goals and treatment plan
A numbing cream is applied to assure that there is little to no discomfort during the process
The microneedling portion takes about 20 minutes. We then apply a serum that is created specifically for your skin goals consisting of organic, non-toxic, and effective ingredients
Once the microneedling is complete, you will lay under Celluma LED light therapy to further enhance the results
