Medical Microneedling

Microneedling

Medical microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, resulting in the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. As a result, medical microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.

The procedure itself is relatively painless, and a topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize any discomfort. The length of the treatment depends on the area being treated, but typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour. After the treatment, patients may experience some redness and mild swelling, which usually resolves within a few days.

Medical microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types and can be used to address a wide range of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven texture. The results of medical microneedling are gradual and improve over time as the body continues to produce collagen and elastin. Most patients notice a visible improvement in their skin’s appearance after just one treatment, but a series of treatments may be necessary for optimal results.

If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin, medical microneedling may be the perfect solution for you.

Frequently asked questions

Medical microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that involves using tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process and boosts collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Medical microneedling can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. It can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas of the body.

While some discomfort may be felt during the procedure, most patients describe it as tolerable. A topical numbing cream may be applied before the procedure to minimize any discomfort.

The length of the treatment depends on the size of the area being treated, but typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on the individual’s skin concerns and the severity of the issue. Generally, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

Results can be seen as early as a few days after the first treatment, but it may take several weeks to see the full benefits.

There may be some redness, swelling, and mild bruising for a few days following the procedure. However, most patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.

After the procedure, your skin may feel tight and slightly sensitive. It is important to avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect your skin.

Medical microneedling is generally safe for all skin types, but it is important to consult with our qualified medical professionals to determine if it is right for you.

Results can last for several months to a year or longer, depending on the individual’s skin concerns and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and skincare routine. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to maintain optimal results.
