Microneedling

Improve skin texture and tone, reduce pore size, and rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally-invasive skin treatment that uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production, rejuvenate skin, and make your skin glow. This advanced procedure offers natural and visible results with minimal downtime or discomfort. Microneedling is safe and effective on all skin types.

Adding PRP to your microneedling treatment enhances results and speeds up recovery time. PRP has a high concentration of growth factors and enhances collagen and elastin production, fast-tracks the healing process, stimulates blood flow, and regenerates skin cells. A cosmetic PRP treatment harnesses these reactions in areas where you would like to improve the appearance of your skin. The addition of PRP to microneedling produces superior results over microneedling alone.

Who is a candidate?

Microneedling is safe and effective on all skin types, making it an ideal choice for improving texture, pigmentation, acne scars, wrinkles, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Results

The results are often immediate, with improved skin texture, even skin tone, and smaller pores. Because your body’s natural healing process continues to work long after treatment, results will continue to be seen over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases.

• Scars: Whether you have scars from accidents or acne, microneedling helps reduce them by breaking down scar tissue and causing collagen to backfill the pock marks. With a series of microneedling sessions, you can restore hydration and elasticity to the scar tissue and minimize its overall appearance.
• Wrinkles: Collagen and elastin production naturally slows down as you age. Microneedling triggers your body’s innate healing mechanisms, which causes it to generate more skin-fortifying collagen and elastin. The procedure firms, tones, and tightens, leaving your skin smooth and supple.
• Rejuvenates skin: With new collagen and elastin, your skin gets its bounce and vitality back. The new layers haven’t been exposed to the sun, wind, or time, so your skin looks smooth, hydrated, and healthy.
• Eradicates sun damage: Microneedling lightens and reverses hyperpigmentation and sun damage due to the power of collagen production and its ability to repair and restore your skin. There’s some research that suggests that microneedling is the most effective therapy for sun spots.
• Reduces discoloration: If you have a melanin imbalance that’s causing discoloration and pigment irregularities, microneedling can generate a fresh layer of skin that would be more uniform in color and texture, displacing the dark spots and marks.

While most of the visible recovery from microneedling happens in 48 hours after treatment, healing continues under the surface of your skin, and the collagen-building process occurs over several weeks and months, which is how long it takes for your body to create new, strong, and healthy collagen.

What is a treatment like?

The process begins by cleansing your skin thoroughly, and then a prescription-strength topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for about 30 minutes. After removing the numbing cream, the microneedling device gently glides across the treatment area. The treatment takes about 15-20 minutes.

The microneedling device creates thousands of microscopic channels into the top layers of the skin, which allows for deep penetration and absorption of corrective serums with specific active ingredients and/or Platelet Rich Plasma. A growth factor post-treatment facial mask is applied for 15 minutes directly after treatment, which features a proprietary combination of ethically derived adult human stem cell factors combined with nourishing and calming ingredients that work synergistically to help the skin as it repairs and recovers from treatment.

Each treatment is tailored to your needs, taking into consideration your skin type, age, and desired results.

Is it painful?

A prescription strength topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area prior to treatment. Most patients report that it’s a very comfortable treatment with little to no pain.

What device do you use?

At Renew MedSpa, we use the Exceed^™ microneedling device, which is the first dual-indicated, FDA-cleared medical microneedling system for the treatment of both facial wrinkles and facial acne scar reduction.

After the treatment

After the procedure, the skin will be red, with mild swelling and/or bruising, and your skin may feel tight and sensitive to the touch. Although these symptoms may take 2-3 days to resolve completely, they will diminish significantly within a few hours after treatment. You can return to your daily routine immediately after treatment and wear makeup 24 hours after your treatment.

How to prepare for a treatment

• Avoid exposure to the sun and tanning beds for at least two weeks before the treatment.

• Avoid using retinoids four days leading up to your treatment and avoid using glycolic acid or other exfoliating products for at least 24 hours before the treatment, as these can increase skin sensitivity.

• Avoid getting a facial or any other skin treatments for at least two weeks before the treatment.

Aftercare

• Use only gentle, non-irritating skincare products for the first few days after the treatment.

• Avoid using retinoids, glycolic acid, or other exfoliating products for at least 48 hours after the treatment.

• Avoid exposure to the sun and tanning beds for at least two weeks after the treatment.

• Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to the treated area every day.

• Avoid swimming, saunas, and other activities that may cause excessive sweating for at least 48 hours after the treatment.

• Do not use makeup or other cosmetic products on the treated area for at least 24 hours after the treatment.

How many treatments are needed?

For optimal results, 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.
