What is Microneedling?
- Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy.
- Microneedling helps stimulate the body to produce collagen and elastin.
- As we age, we lose collagen and elastin in our muscles, causing wrinkles and sagging.
- By stimulating their production, wrinkles begin to fill in, and the face plumps and firms up.
- Our doctors use ONLY Medical-Grade sterile serums and sterile single-use needles.
- The microneedling pen gently glides across the skin while hair-thin needles are repetitively inserted into the skin to create micro-channels.
- The body views these micro-channels as small injuries and the body responds by flooding the area with collagen and elastin production.
Session Information
- Sessions on the Face are done once every 4 weeks. This allows the body to turn over the skin that was microneedled.
- Sessions on the Belly are done once every 5 weeks.
- Sessions for Hair Restoration are done once a week for 10 weeks.
- Most people begin to see results in 2 weeks but it may take up to 4 weeks.
- The body takes about 12 weeks to reach the peak of collagen and elastin production.
- By spacing the sessions out, most people need about 4 sessions, while those with deep wrinkles or severe scarring may need 6 sessions.
- After the Initial 4-6 sessions, results can last from 6 months up to 2 years.
- Maintenance Sessions: one session every 6 months to 1 year to maintain.
