Microneedling Facial
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is the insertion of very fine and short needles into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation. This is a dermaroller-like procedure in which a pen device is used with a disposable sterile tip. This treatment works by creating micro injuries that cause the skin to respond with an increased production of collagen and new skin cells.
Depending on the depth of the penetration this can help with wrinkles, fine lines, acne, dark spots, under eye bags, scars, stretch marks and overall complexion. Microneedling will also increase product (serum) absorption.
You will begin your treatment with an oil cleanse, skin assessment and LED facial. Body acupuncture is administered during microneedling to balance your constitution and improve relaxation. Your treatment ends with a mask or jade rolling. A microneedling course of treatment for the face is suggested every 4-8 weeks for a series of 4-8 visits. Having nano needling or facial acupuncture between visits will enhance the effects of the treatment. Microneedling increases serum and product absorption by 3000%. Microneedling has also been known to improve hair growth. Hair treatments are recommended 2-4x a month.
Nanoneedling uses the same device as microneedling but with a silicone tips instead of microneedles. It does not penetrate the skin and does not require any recovery time and therefore can be done much more often. It is recommended 1-2x a week for a series of 8-10 visits for under eye bags, fine lines, wrinkles, sagging. It is a great treatment on its own or between microneedling and/or facial acupuncture treatments for maintenance. This treatment is also recommended for those with thinner skin or might feel sensitive to micro needling. Nanoneedling increases serum and product absorption by 97%.
Microneedling and nano needling utilize the same equipment, therefore pricing is the same. Microneedling requires 12-24 hrs of healing time post treatment. There is no healing period after nanoneedling.
Micro and nanoneedling can also be done on the neck, decolletage, hands and other parts of the body. Microneedling is also recommended treatment for hair loss on the scalp.
