Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production and enhances skin texture by creating controlled micro-injuries. This process promotes natural healing, reduces the appearance of fine lines, scars, and improves overall skin tone.
Procedure Steps:
- Skin Cleansing: The treatment area is cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or debris.
- Microneedling: A handheld device with fine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and promoting skin rejuvenation.
- Topical Applications: Depending on the provider, serums or growth factors may be applied to enhance the treatment's effects.
Qualifications:
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified skincare professional to assess your skin condition and determine if Microneedling is suitable for you.
- Skin Type Assessment: The provider will evaluate your skin type to customize the treatment for optimal results.
Pre-Procedure Care:
- Skincare Routine: Follow a prescribed skincare routine recommended by your provider to prepare your skin for the procedure.
- Sun Protection: Use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from UV exposure in the weeks leading up to the treatment.
- Discontinue Certain Products: Discontinue the use of retinoids and other exfoliating skincare products as advised by your provider.
Post-Procedure Care:
- Sun Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect treated skin from UV exposure.
- Skincare Routine Adjustment: Follow any post-procedure skincare recommendations provided by your healthcare professional.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure in the days following the treatment to prevent irritation and hyperpigmentation.
