benefits & precautions
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that effectively stimulates collagen production and targets enlarged pores, acne scarring, alopecia, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Collagen
Benefits
Did you know that just one session of micro needling can stimulate as much collagen as you loose in a year? Using the DP4 pen we create 1920 micropunctures per second without damaging the epidermis. This causes a wound healing cascade which encourages our body to release numerous growth factors and increase collagen production for skin tightening, improvements in tone and texture, reduction in pore size, etc.
Studies have shown that with just 4 treatments per year, your collagen production is increased by 400%.
This can be paired with Platelet rich plasma for unparalleled results.
Easy recovery time
Benefits
Microneedling recovery typically takes 2-5 days with most patients experiencing, redness, tightness, and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for the first 24–48 hours.
Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Benefits
By promoting collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps firm and tighten the skin, which softens signs of aging.
Improved skin tone and texture
Benefits
The procedure encourages new skin cell turnover, leading to a smoother, more even complexion and the reduction of rough patches and sagging skin
Smaller pore size
Benefits
The tightening and strengthening of the skin through increased collagen production can make enlarged pores appear smaller and more refined.
After care
Precautions
Avoiding Retinol, Vitamin C, harsh acids, swimming, saunas and strenuous exercise for 48-72 hours is important.
Use only gentle cleansers and hydrating creme for the first few days after your treatment.
Your skin is more sensitive to the sun after treatment so be sure to use SPF.
We will apply mineral based Colorscience Sunforgettable FLEX Face Shield with 50 SPF after your treatment. This produce covers like a foundation but feels like a tinted mositurizer.
