Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical and non-laser procedure that stimulates collagen production to improve your skin’s texture and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots and acne scars.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling is safe, effective and painless. It can be performed for all skin types and on the face and body. Microneedling may be recommended to:
- Reduce crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles
- Tighten skin and reduce the signs of aging
- Reduce sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Eliminate stretch marks
- Treat scars, including acne scars
- Shrink pores
You may require several microneedling treatments depending on the condition of your skin and the look you want to achieve. Our dentist will work with you to determine how many treatments you need. Please contact our office today to schedule your consultation and learn more about the benefits of microneedling.
How does microneedling work?
Our dentist and team will start by numbing the area, usually with a topical numbing cream, making sure you are comfortable during treatment. We will then use a microneedling pen to create small puncture points in your skin, initiating your body’s healing function to produce collagen and elastin to rejuvenate your skin and dissolve damaged tissue
How long is the treatment and how many will I need?
This treatment usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. You will need about four to six treatments, which will be spaced a month to a month and a half apart.
What is the recovery like?
Typically, most clients’ skin will be red for about two to four days after treatment as if they got a mild sunburn. This redness will fade after the first few days. Make sure you wear sunscreen for 48 hours after treatment and limit your outdoor activity to ensure that you get the best results.
