Microneedling

For best results, we recommend a series of 1 to 3 sessions. During your consultation, your provider will build a treatment plan with the exact number of sessions needed to reach your results.

While we consider microneedling to be a safe and effective skin rejuvenating service, it may not be the right choice for everyone.

We may recommend an alternative service if you have a history of:

• Severe acne
• Blood disorders
• Receiving cancer treatments or radiation therapy
• Frequent skin rashes or cold sores
• Keloid scarring
• Eczema or psoriasis

Your provider will apply a topical numbing solution or injection to enhance comfort during treatment. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation once the treatment begins, or mild discomfort in more sensitive areas, but this is brief and well-tolerated by patients.

Following the completion of your treatment session, we recommend the following:

• Do not use exfoliating medications, toners, or harsh chemical products or devices for at least 7 days post-treatment.
• Do not use chemical peels for 14 days post-treatment.
• You may use ice packs and Tylenol for discomfort and pain relief.
• Do not take NSAIDs.
• You may use Arnica according to the label instructions.
• Avoid sun exposure for 14 to 30 days.
• Do not use tanning beds or self-tanning services for at least 30 days.

These treatments are similar but have one key difference.

• Microneedling: With the Emage Medical CytoPen, your provider will create micro-injuries in your skin, stimulating collagen production and skin regeneration. It works well for patients with mild to moderate skin concerns. Downtime is minimal, typically lasting 1 day.
• RF Microneedling: Using the InMode Morpheus 8 device, your provider will deliver controlled radiofrequency heat into your skin. This process can enhance skin tone and texture, and reduce acne scars. It works well for patients with more severe skin concerns. Downtime can last up to 4 days.
