Microneedling

 WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that can boost collagen, improve scars, and reduce fine lines.  It works by inserting very fine needles into the skin. Devices can reach 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters into the deeper layers of the skin.  This results in almost immediate plump, pink, and radiant appearance of the skin.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling may be right for you if:

You have very fine lines along your skin.

You have scars for which are thick and bothersome in appearance.

You wish to improve your skin texture.

You wish to have a more plump and more youthful appearance of the skin.

WHAT IS YOUR TREATMENT APPROACH TO MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling may be paired with other treatments such as platelet rich plasma (Vampire facial), laers, or anti-aging serum.  The needle punctures allow platelet rich plasma or anti-aging creams to penetrate deeper into the skin. This allows for long-term collagen growth and potential tissue tightening.

OTHER TREATMENT AREAS:

  • Face

  • Hands

  • Abdomen

  • Buttocks

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT OF MICRONEEDLING LIKE?

Numbing cream may be applied over the face for your comfort.  Microneedling is then performed over your facial skin. Very fine needles are used until very punctate openings are created.  Adjunct treatments such as platelet rich plasma or anti-aging serum may be applied thereafter. You may expect some swelling immediately after injection.  The treatment plan and injection are carried out to provide the highest quality of care, utmost safety as priority, and efficacy.

The treatment will take 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

WHAT IS THE POST OPERATIVE CARE AND RECOVERY LIKE AFTER MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling may be repeated once a month, which allows for full recovery in between sessions.  The effects may build up over time.

Everyone’s skin profile is different.  The number of treatments and adjunct additions such as PRP and anti-aging serum varies from patient to patient.  Dr. Chen will help determine how many total treatments may be necessary to achieve your goal.

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF MICRONEEDLING INJECTIONS?

Microneedling plumps the skin almost immediately and tightens the skin over time.
