introduction
In the world of aesthetic medicine, there is always something new and exciting to try. One treatment that has been gaining attention lately is microneedling, and it's not just another fad. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT) or percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure with a plethora of benefits for your skin.
In this post, we'll explore how microneedling can help you achieve that radiant and youthful skin you've always dreamed of.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling involves the use of a medical grade FDA cleared device, which creates tiny punctures in the epidermal and dermal layers of your skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing cascade, leading to the production of collagen and elastin, the two key components responsible for maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness.
Microneedling is used to address facial wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, texture concerns, large pores, hyperpigmentation and so much more!
Will I be Comfortable?
Microneedling is minimally uncomfortable. Most people report no pain to mild discomfort. Your face is numbed prior to treatment which keeps you generally relaxed throughout.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
Redness and mild swelling after treatment are to be expected. You will feel a sensation similar to a sunburn for around 24 hours. You may flake/peel a bit on day 3. Full healing may take up to 3-7 days, so make sure you schedule your treatment at least a week before any major event.
Directly after your treatment you will receive a complimentary Neocutis NeoRestore Biocellulose Mask treatment to soothe, brighten and hydrate your skin.
Is Microneedling Right For Me?
Microneedling is generally suitable for most skin types, but sometimes pre-treatment with ZO's Pigment Control Regimen is necessary if you are a person who is more at risk for hyperpigmentation. Book a complimentary skin health assessment, or ask questions about microneedling during your other treatments at Everbelle to find out if you are a good candidate for microneedling treatment.
You will notice a difference after just one treatment, but you may need anywhere from 2-6 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, to achieve your goals. Then just one treatment for maintenance annually is recommended.
Conclusion
Microneedling is a versatile and effective skincare treatment that can help improve skin texture, firm skin and address a range of skin concerns. Whether you're looking to reduce wrinkles, improve acne scarring and pore size, or simply achieve a radiant complexion, microneedling might be the solution you've been searching for. So, throw away your home-dermarollers and get a safe and professional treatment that has proven results! Your skin will thank you!
