Microneedling is one of the less invasive ways to rejuvenate the skin and feel younger. It offers a safe and effective solution if you desire glowing skin to improve your confidence. A skilled aesthetician from our Med Spa can carry out the procedure to treat wrinkles and scarring.
Microneedling is also less expensive than laser treatments, costing up to four times less because microneedling does not involve heat like laser treatments do. Consult Dr. Danielle DeLuca-Pytell to learn whether microneedling in Troy the best option for your skin and your budget.
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a skin rejuvenation procedure available in Troy that includes pricking the skin with several tiny, sterilized needles. The dermis, the deeper skin layer, regenerates due to this trauma. Regeneration of the skin may help with such issues as:
Microneedling is also used to penetrate the skin and deliver medications like topical retinoid or vitamin C, which can improve the management of conditions such as acne scars.
First, your aesthetician will cover your face with numbing cream, to reduce discomfort. You will also be offered Pro-Nox, an inhaled product to help you relax. After cleansing your face, she will move a tool with tiny needles across your face. The needles make small punctures in your skin and may cause some minor bleeding.
Finally, she will apply a lotion or serum to your face to soothe it. The procedure kickstarts your body’s natural healing process, causing the production of elastin and collagen, which repair the tiny wounds made by the needles.
Microneedling is commonly performed on the face. However, it can also be used on the thighs and stomach. The procedure usually takes about 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Microneedling stimulates the production of healing agents such as collagen by inflicting stress on the skin. Collagen is a crucial protein that keeps the skin elastic, smooth, and firm, giving you a more youthful look.
Your skin’s collagen production decreases with age, contributing to aging symptoms like wrinkles. Injuries to the skin, such as stretch marks, acne scarring, or scarring of other kinds, also cause collagen loss.
Microneedling is not a quick remedy. It may take several months to see the full effects of a microneedling and you may need several sessions to achieve the best results.
Research shows that microneedling is a safe and efficient approach to renewing skin and healing scars and wrinkles. It can also lessen the appearance of scars and large pores.
Bleeding is a side effect that may occur during a more intensive procedure. Before the treatment, it is important to inform our team of any relevant medical history, especially if it includes bleeding disorders or blood thinning medications, as you may be more susceptible to bleeding. You should avoid microneedling therapy if you have any skin infections, active acne, or keloid scars. Some of the side effects that you are likely to encounter after the operation include:
Microneedling typically results in no bleeding, but deep microneedling procedures could result in bleeding or bruised skin. The infection risk from microneedling is minimal and unlikely if you are healthy. However, it is best to avoid areas with high germ concentrations, such as swimming pools, for the first few days after your procedure.
