Microneedling

Microneedling packs a lot of skin care love into one treatment! Microneedling is also known as Fractional Collagen Induction Therapy, it creates micro-punctures to the surface of the skin, triggering the release of collagen and elastin and encouraging your skin to produce more collagen.  We use the FDA approved Rejuvapen which is an amazing non-laser, non-surgical treatment that stimulates fresh new tissue/skin with little to no downtime! For best results we recommend a series of 3 treatments 4-6 weeks apart.

Microneedling benefits include improvement of:

• skin texture and appearance

• fine lines and wrinkles

• scarring

• hyperpigmentation

• sun damage

Contraindications for Microneedling:

You should not do microneedling if you have any of the following in the treatment area: open sores or lesions, broken or irritated skin, raised lesions, eczema, active acne, rosacea, skin cancer, herpetic, or any type of active skin infection.

Appointment Planning:

Before getting microneedling you will want to avoid taking medications such as aspirin, Ibuprofen, naproxen, fish oil, Ginko Biloba, and St. Johns Wart as these can increase the risk for bleeding and bruising at the treated site(s). Please let your practitioner know what medications and supplements you are taking. Let us know if you have a history of cold sores and are planning treatments in/around the lip area and we can provide a prophylactic antiviral.

There is little to no downtime for our aesthetic procedures, but you may have some bruising, or irritation for several days to a week after treatment. Makeup will need to be removed for aesthetic treatments and in most cases will need to be avoided for 1-2 days after treatment. Please keep this in mind as you plan treatments prior to events or trips. Detailed post-procedure instructions will be provided after your service.
