Microneedling Treatment in Eastman, GA

Microneedling treatment has a cumulative effect with the purpose of inducing the development of new collagen growth through the skin’s own healing process. This induction itself requires several treatments over a period of months. The treatment can be repeated after 4-6 weeks have passed since the last one. How many total treatments are required is often decided by the size of the skin area being treated.

Microneedling after care and recovery will typically take 5-7 days for your skin to heal. During this time, patients may experience redness, swelling, and crusting. Once the skin has healed, patients will notice an improvement in the texture and tone of their skin.

Microneedling is done using a device that contains tiny, fine needles to puncture the skin. By plucking with the tips of these needles, the device creates a controlled area of damage at the surface level of the skin.

The controlled damage done by the device is not enough to cause scabbing or scarring yet it is enough to activate the skin’s natural healing process. The body triggers the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.

This is an incredibly effective treatment for those who want to reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles and pores by rejuvenating the skin under and around them.

Microneedling does not have any limitations based on skin types or tones. It’s also safe enough for even some sensitive skin types, so you are likely an excellent microneedling candidate. If you are concerned about any specific problems that may prevent you from being a candidate, you can address them during your first consultation.

An excellent treatment for a wide variety of skin concerns and can be used to treat:

• Acne & Acne Scars
• Scar reduction
• Reduce the appearance of large pores
• Stretch marks
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Facial rejuvenation
• Anti-aging
• Assists in the absorption of cosmetic products

Redness and minor swelling are often reported by people who have had the treatment. However, the needles rarely even break the skin barrier when “damaging” the skin, so redness or bruising usually disappears after 48 hours.

While the treatment is relatively safe and gentle, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your session and minimize any discomfort.

First, it’s important to cleanse your skin thoroughly before your treatment. This will help remove any dirt, oil, or makeup that could interfere with the microneedling device. You should also avoid using any exfoliating products in the days leading up to your treatment, which can irritate the skin.

It’s also a good idea to avoid sun exposure before your treatment. Ultraviolet light can damage the skin and make it more susceptible to inflammation. If you must go outside, apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
