What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. Thin needles are used to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth.

Helps Treat

Acne scars -  Fine lines  - Wrinkles - Dull skin

Hyperpigmentation - Uneven skin tone - Cellulite - Hairloss

Does Microneedling hurt?

We use numbing cream to numb the face before the treatment begins.

 

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 pain on the “bonier” areas of your face, such as your hairline, forehead, and jawline.

​

The application of the topical anesthetic makes this procedure relatively pain-free.

​

Most Common Side Effects

The most common side effects of microneedling are mild and include redness, bruising, swelling, and inflammation. The side effects usually go away after two or three days, but may persist for up to two weeks.

Before the Procedure

To minimize pain before your procedure:

  • Avoid using any products on your skin that increase sensitivity, such as retinoids or exfoliants.

  • Avoid laser procedures or overexposure to the sun before treatment. This can damage the skin and increase sensitivity.

  • Don’t shave, wax, or use depilatories before the procedure. This can lead to an increase in skin sensitivity.

  • One week following treatment:  improved skin tone, a reduction in acne visibility, and improved skin texture. For some patients, noticing results may take a bit longer, so do not worry if this is the case for you!

  • Four to six weeks following treatment: This is the time when our patients tend to notice the effects in full.  We recommend minimizing exposure to the sun and following a healthy skincare regimen at least two weeks leading up to your appointment. This includes cleansing and moisturizing twice daily as well as applying a strong sunscreen. 

  • After 4-6 weeks come back for the next session:   Maximum results will be seen in as little as three to five treatments, and smoother skin will be revealed.

WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE?

What is the difference between micro-needling and nano-needling?

​

Both nano-needling & micro-needling address the same skincare concerns. Both techniques use a needling pen to create micro-channels in the skin and help your skin.

 

The main difference between the two is the depth that the needles are able to penetrate into the skin.

 

Nano-needling only punctures the first layer of the skin (epidermis) while micro-needling penetrates as deep as the dermis layer. By creating these micro-channels in the skin, it increases product absorption by 97% and encourages your body to rejuvenate itself.

BOOK NANO-NEEDLING : 

 If you are concerned about

fine lines & wrinkles - swelling - dark pigmentation- sagging skin

BOOK MICRONEEDLING: 

If your skin care concerns include deep wrinkles- hypo-pigmentation, stretch marks - deep acne scars

What is Nanoneedling?

Nano needling is a non-invasive skin treatment delivery system designed to rejuvenate your skin and treat common issues like lack of tone, uneven texture, acne, excessive pigmentation, scarring, and loss of elasticity.

 

There is no pain, inflammation, bleeding, or discomfort.

​

There is no risk of post-traumatic hyperpigmentation, nor is there any big recovery time.
