Microneedling

Aug 20, 2023

Microneedling is a minimally invasive professional cosmetic procedure that is performed in a certified doctors practice, and is used to treat skin concerns via collagen production. This treatment is also known as collagen induction therapy. It is considered effective in treating minor scarring related to acne, wounds and ageing. This will also result in the skin being brighter and firmer.

In addition to facial concerns, microneedling is sometimes used to treat stretchmarks in other areas of the body for example, this procedure was found to be effective to treat stretchmarks on the inner thigh and abdominal area

TARGETED AREAS FOR MICRONEEDLING:

  • Acne scars
  • Age/sun spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Large pores
  • Other types of scars
  • Reduced skin elasticity
  • Uneven skin tone

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER MICRONEEDLING:

  • The recovery time is minimal and most people require very little downtime, if any at all.
  • The downtime is between 3-5 days and can vary between patients. You may experience minor redness, irritation, redness and tightening as well as soft peeling during this time.
  • You can go back to work or school after the procedure. No make-up immediately after the procedure. Minimal make up can be worn from the day after to camouflage downtime.
