Microneedling
How it Works
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure where a device with tiny needles creates controlled channels in the top layer of your skin. This micro ‘injury’ triggers your body's natural healing process, including the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that give skin its youthful firmness and smoothness.
This boost in collagen helps improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other skin concerns.
These controlled channels also increase the absorption of our skincare products by up to 2000%.
Microneedling effectively improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, discoloration, and uneven texture. It also has great success promoting hair growth. Visible results may begin on the first day and continue for weeks afterward. As collagen levels continue to build up, your skin becomes more luminous and your complexion more even.
Benefits
Anti-aging
The microneedling process triggers collagen production, which plumps the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Scar reduction
Whether scars are from acne, injuries, or surgical procedures, microneedling helps soften and minimize the appearance of those scars by stimulating new collagen growth, filling in and smoothing out affected areas.
Skin tone and texture
By creating micro-channels in the skin, microneedling enhances product absorption. This allows serums and creams to penetrate deeper, delivering their wrinkle-fighting and brightening ingredients more effectively. This can result in a more even complexion and a healthier-looking glow.
FAQs
Is it painful?
Microneedling is generally not considered painful. The needles are shorter and often thinner than even acupuncture needles. However, if desired, topical anesthetic can be applied before treatment to provide light numbing.
How does it work?
Physician formulated, organic, vegan serum prepared for your skin’s individual needs will be applied. The AcuLift™ MicroPen is then used to create controlled microchannels, eliciting your body’s healing response. This will remodel and rejuvenate your skin to provide a younger, more firm and radiant appearance.
What is the recovery like?
Following treatment your skin may appear pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically disappears after 12-24hrs. You will receive a patient aftercare kit to accelerate your recovery and results.
When will I see results?
Results are sometimes apparent after one treatment and will improve over a series of 3-6 monthly treatments. Results can last up to 3-5 years!
