MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. By creating tiny channels through the skin, it allows to infuse serums and active ingredients more efficiently, this treatment will not only stimulate collagen production but improve skin texture and tone.
Microneedling may help with issues like:
DOES MICRONEEDLING HURTS ?
During a microneedling session, the outermost layer of the skin is pricked with microneedles to promote collagen formation and skin regrowth. Although microneedling is a relatively painless procedure, you may still experience some discomfort.
The most common sensation during the procedure is a warm, scratching feeling as the tool is moved around the face. You may also notice some sensitivity on the “bonier” areas of your face, such as your hairline, forehead, and jawline.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED ?
If it’s your first time with this treatment, then you’re going to be in for a “round” of treatments that take place closer together than your regular treatments will in the future.
The first round of treatments is used to kick-start your treatment so you can get the best results quickly. For most patients, this means 2 to 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart.
Microneedling takes multiple sessions to truly see results, but research has shown it to be an effective, minimally invasive way to improve the health of the skin.
Usually clients see a big improvement between 3 and 6 sessions.

HOW LONG AFTER A TREATMENT WILL I SEE RESULTS ?
After your first session you will feel your skin glowing and hydrated.
It takes time for the formation of new collagen. You’ll typically have to wait 2 to 6 weeks between sessions to allow the skin to repair itself. It can take three to four sessions to see noticeable results from microneedling.

WHAT'S THE PRECAUTION AFTER A TREATMENT ?
- Avoid touching your face with your hands or unclean clothing for 24H (for example: your scarf and hat don't get wash very often and might carry bacteria that would get into those tiny punctures we just made)
- Sleep on a clean pillowcase for the first night after your microneedling treatment
- Apply lotions morning and night for the next 5 days to keep your skin moisturized and to reduce inflammation.
- Avoid washing your face with anything other than lukewarm water and gentle cleanser for 48 to 72 hours after the procedure.
- Avoid using makeup for at least 24H after the procedure. When you do apply makeup, only use clean makeup brushes.
- Avoid direct sunlight for 5 days after the procedure. If you plan to go outside, don’t forget to apply sunscreen.
- Avoid using harsh cleansers and exfoliants for 5 days after your procedure. They can cause more irritation and inflammation while your skin is healing.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
In general, patients can begin seeing results as soon as their initial healing stage is completed. Within 1 to 3 days of your treatment, you will notice an immediate improvement to the tone and texture of your skin, most noticeably a health glow to the skin surface. However, sometimes the results you are looking for may take time to emerge. Here are the different times you can expect:
For Anti-AgingThe correction of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and skin laxity usually becomes evident after 3 treatment appointments or even as soon as 3 to 4 weeks after your appointment. You will notice an improvement in the tightness of your skin, which will continue to improve for as long as you have regular treatments.
For Scar ReductionThe reduction of scars may take more time to manifest, largely because smoothing scars takes more effort for the skin. For many patients, it takes 3 to 6 treatment appointments to have a full reduction of scarring. However, between your first appointment and your desired results, you will notice a gradual improvement of the scar texture, usually within 6 to 8 weeks of your first appointment. Your scarring will slowly soften and then fade.
For General Skin HealthResults for general skin health appear the most quickly. After your first appointment, in addition to the immediate results of healthier-looking skin, you will notice an improvement in tone and texture in as little as 7 to 14 days.

HOW TO MAINTAIN MY RESULTS?
After your first round of treatment is completed and you have obtained your desired results, all subsequent appointments will be used to maintain these results.
Because the results of this treatment build gradually, you will be able to have more time between your regular maintenance appointments than your first round. Many patients opt to have regular treatments every 6 to 8 weeks for this purpose.

WHO CAN NOT HAVE A MICRONEEDLING PERFORMED ?
WHY MICRO INJURIES ARE KEY?
Micro injuries are microscopic wounds on the skin surface that penetrate to the sub-dermal layers. They don’t hurt you, but they do stimulate some amazing effects.
The main principle behind this treatment is to create controlled injuries to the skin to stimulate the body’s natural regenerative ability. Your skin is made up of several structural proteins, including collagen, that produces in greater number when the skin is injured.
The micro injuries speed up skin cell turnover, which means you shed dead skin cells faster for a healthy glow as you heal.

WHAT ARE RESULTS LIKE?
The results of this treatment are reliable and predictable. Regardless of your age or skin condition, you can be certain that you will experience the desired results. Let’s break results down by category:
For Anti-Aging: Common aging concerns are increased skin laxity, dark spots, sun damage, brown spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. This treatment easily addresses all of these superficial skin concerns by aiding skin cell turnover and stimulating the production of skin-supporting proteins.
This is particularly true for collagen and elastin, which are both the main culprits of skin laxity and wrinkle formation when the production of these proteins slows along with aging.
For Scar Reduction: Both injury scars and acne scars can be corrected by this treatment. The majority of scars on the skin surface are caused by an over-compensation of collagen produced during wound healing, which is produced too rapidly when the skin is still inflamed and leaves a bumpy, dimpled, otherwise uneven skin surface.
This treatment helps break up old collagen to produce a new even layer of collagen that smoothes out the skin surface.
For General Skin Health: Many people suffer from the same common skin health concerns, such as dry skin, uneven skin tone, and uneven skin texture. This treatment easily addresses these general skin health concerns by increasing the rate of skin cell turnover and helping the skin become self-sufficient in maintaining an even complexion and a smooth, supple, moisturized skin surface.
