What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin procedure wherein thin needles are utilized to create tiny punctures in the top layer of your skin. This controlled damage prompts your skin's natural healing process, encouraging increased production of collagen and elastin. These essential proteins contribute to the firmness and smoothness of your skin. The procedure is known to help improve various skin concerns, including wrinkles, stretch marks, scars, acne scarring, skin tone, fine lines, loose skin, large pores, and discoloration

The Consultation
Before scheduling the procedure, a free consultation is mandatory. During this session, the nurse practitioner will meticulously review your medical history, examine the treatment area, review the potential risks and benefits associated with the procedure, and address any inquiries you may have. This consultation serves as a platform for the nurse practitioner to offer comprehensive education about the procedure, ensuring you are well-informed about pre and post-care recommendations for optimal results. If deemed an appropriate candidate for treatment, the procedure will then be scheduled. The consultation typically spans approximately 30 minutes.
The Procedure
Patients are required to arrive at the clinic with a clean, makeup-free face. A topical numbing cream will be applied for 20 minutes to promote comfort. Treatment areas will be prepped with a cleanser and further cleansed using chlorhexidine. Depending on individual skin needs and preferences, we administer either a Hyaluronic Acid serum (included in the overall cost), exosomes (additional charge), or other serums to the treatment area. A needling device is then applied to the skin, creating superficial pinpoint injuries. The Hyaluronic Acid serum serves to provide essential hydration to the skin. To ensure optimal results, we kindly request discontinuation of any Retinol product use three days prior to the scheduled treatment.
Aftercare
Post-procedure, the treated skin will exhibit a red and flushed appearance, akin to a moderate sunburn. Expect mild skin tightness and heightened sensitivity to touch in the treated area. The redness will significantly diminish within a few hours after the treatment, and the skin will generally appear calmed within the subsequent 24 hours. After 3 days, the skin is expected to return to a normal or near-normal state. For the initial 3 days following the procedure, it is advised to refrain from sweaty exercise, avoid applying makeup, and limit sun exposure. We will supply you with a Post Procedure Take Home Kit that includes specially selected skin care products to ensure optimal results from your procedure. After 7 days, you may resume your regular skincare routine. We recommend incorporating a daily Retinol and Vitamin C product post-microneedling, starting 7 days after the procedure, to maintain optimal results.
