MICRO NEEDLING

Microneedling Procedure:

  1. Consultation: The process typically begins with a thorough consultation to assess the client’s skin concerns and determine the specific needs for the procedure. 
  2. Cleansing: The targeted area is cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or debris.
  3. Topical Anesthesia: A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
  4. Microneedling: The microneedling device, whether a dermaroller or a motorized pen, is gently applied to the skin, creating micro-injuries.
  5. Serum Infusion: Following microneedling, various serums tailored to address specific concerns are applied to the treated area. These serums can include ingredients like vitamin C, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and growth factors.
 
 

Benefits of Microneedling with Serum Infusion:

 
  1. Collagen Stimulation: Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness.
  2. Improved Texture: The procedure helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, resulting in smoother skin texture.
  3. Hydration Boost: Hyaluronic acid infused during microneedling provides intense hydration, contributing to plump and supple skin.
  4. Antioxidant Protection: Serums containing vitamins C and E provide antioxidant protection, shielding the skin from environmental damage.
  5. Targeted Solutions: Various serums can be chosen based on individual needs, allowing for a tailored approach to address concerns like pigmentation, aging, or hydration.
  6. Enhanced Absorption: The microchannels created during microneedling enhance the absorption of serums, ensuring optimal delivery of active ingredients into the skin.
  7. Customization: The treatment can be customized for each client, addressing their specific concerns and goals.

Advantages:

• Versatility: Microneedling with serum infusion is versatile and can be applied to various areas of the face and body.

After and Before Microneedling

Microneedling is an extremely safe and effective cosmetic procedure. However, as with all treatments, it’s essential to take special care of your skin before and after the procedure for fast recovery and best results.

• Avoid Accutane in the six months prior to beginning your treatment sessions.
•Do not use topical agents that may increase the sensitivity of your skin such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics or acids 5-7 days prior to your treatment.
•Do not take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, Motrin, or Advil for at least 3 days prior to your microneedling session. These will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical for your skin rejuvenation.
•No waxing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis to the area being treated for 5-7 days prior.  
•Do not shave the day of the procedure to avoid skin irritation. If there’s dense hair present in the treatment area, shave the day before you arrive for your appointment.
•If you’re prone to cold sores, take an antiviral agent for 2 days prior to and the day of the treatment.
•Avoid blood thinning agents for one week prior because bruising is a common side effect of microneedling.
 
As with any cosmetic skin treatment, it’s important to look after your skin following a microneedling procedure for best results.
 
•Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications for one week after the procedure.
•Do not use ice on your face, and avoid using arnica/bromelain. These may interfere with the natural inflammatory process that’s critical for your skin rejuvenation.
•Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks. After 48 hours, always use sunblock (30 SPF or higher) and wear a hat if you’re outside.
•Use a painkiller, such as Tylenol, if you experience any soreness.
Microneedling is a quick and non-invasive cosmetic procedure with minimal side effects. However, it’s quite normal to experience the following:
 
Day 1-3
A sunburn-like effect is normal. Your skin may feel tight, dry or sensitive to touch. Treat the skin gently by washing it with a , cool water, and using only your hands to pat dry no earlier than 24 hours after treatment.
Some redness may also be present and in some cases, patients may experience slight bruising that can last for 5-7 days and temporary swelling for 2-4 days.
 
Tips
  • Avoid strenuous exercises that cause sweating as well as jacuzzis, saunas, and steam baths for up to 48 hours.
  • Use only mineral makeup after 48 hours.
  • Sleep on your back with the head of the bed elevated to minimize swelling or pain as needed.

Day 2-7
Peeling may start 3-5 days after the treatment. You’ll notice skin dryness and flaking which is due to an increased turnover of skin cells. DO NOT pick, scratch, or scrub at treated skin!
Important information: You must allow the old skin to flake off naturally and keep it moisturized at all times. Talk to your skin specialist about which products to use.

Day 5-7
You may start your regular skin care products again, once your skin no longer feels irritated. Most of our patients have noticed continued skin improvement over the months following their last treatment.
For best results: We recommend follow-up and repeat microneedling treatments every 4-6 weeks, with a series of 3-5 treatments depending on your personalized care plan.
