FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is it? The Microneedle treatment system promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin which are responsible for skin structure and elasticity. As we age, these fibers break down and can cause wrinkles.
How does it work? Microneedling uses extremely fine, sterile needles to penetrate the skin just enough to stimulate collagen and elastin production without permanent injury to the skin. It can improve skin texture and color, reduce wrinkles, acne, and acne scars, and dramatically enhance the effectiveness of skincare products.
How does it feel?
The device delivers tiny needle pricks. As a result of this slight injury, the prick stimulates the growth of collagen (the scaffolding under the skin) smoothing the appearance of your skin. During the procedure, there may be light bleeding. After the therapy, a patient’s face will look pink and puffy.
Is this just for women?
No! Microneedling caters to both men and women, extending its benefits to everyone eager to present their best face forward.
What is the downtime?
Unlike other resurfacing treatments in which healing can take a week or more, micro-needling offers a fast recovery. If you have it done on Monday, you’ll be presentable with make-up by Wednesday!
How long before I see results?
You will notice and start getting comments in a matter of days.
Are there any side effects?
During the procedure you might experience light bleeding. We suggests patients ice for several hours after the therapy to help with the slight puffiness. Be sure to clear your schedule after treatment so you can go home and rest up where you can stay indoors and out of direct sunlight.
How long does it last?
It is recommended that you have at least six (6) microneedling treatments about four (4) weeks apart. These can combined with weekly nano-needling sessions to get quicker results. After your series, we recommend maintaining your youthful look by one or two micro-needling sessions a year, depending on your lifestyle.
