Rejuvenate Your Skin and Stimulate Natural Collagen Production
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses very fine needles to create controlled microscopic channels in the skin. These tiny channels stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and promote the production of new collagen and elastin.
Microneedling can improve the overall quality and appearance of the skin with relatively little downtime.
What Can Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling can be used to improve a variety of common skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Mild skin laxity
- Sun-damaged skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Overall skin quality
As new collagen develops, the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in appearance. Results continue to improve over the weeks following treatment.
Why Do We Use Hyaluronic Acid Serum With Microneedling?
At Aesthetic Dermatology and Skin Cancer, we utilize hyaluronic acid serum during our microneedling treatments to provide additional hydration and support the skin during treatment.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found within the skin that has an exceptional ability to attract and retain water. Applying hyaluronic acid helps deeply hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling smoother, softer, and more supple. The added hydration can also provide a temporary plumping effect that complements the skin-rejuvenating benefits of microneedling.
Hyaluronic acid is gentle and well tolerated, making it particularly well suited for freshly treated skin.
What Should I Expect After Treatment?
Mild redness, warmth, or sensitivity is common immediately following microneedling and typically improves over the next few days. Many patients notice brighter, smoother-looking skin relatively quickly, while improvements from new collagen production develop gradually over the following weeks and months.
A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals.
Is Microneedling Right for Me?
Microneedling can be an excellent option for patients who would like to improve skin texture, acne scarring, fine lines, and overall skin quality without more aggressive resurfacing procedures.
