What is Microneedling ?


Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special cosmological tool to perforate the skin with hundreds of tiny holes. The treatment is intended to eliminate damaged tissue while stimulating new collagen production. It can be used to get rid of wrinkles, scars, and discolored skin. It is also helpful in lifting the eyelids to provide a brighter, more alert appearance. The new collagen clears the skin as the dermis heals and creates a radiant, glowing appearance. Microneedling can be done on virtually any part of the body, gives the individual an attractive look, and helps to enhance confidence and self-esteem.

Microneedling costs


The cost of microneedling treatment depends on how much skin is being treated, whether the microneedling session is being combined with other modalities, where the treatment is taking place, which type of microneedling is being performed and other charges that the technician applies.

Microneedling Procedure Explained


Microneedling Downtime and Recovery


The skin will be red and irritated immediately after treatment with microneedling. Cold compresses can help to alleviate these symptoms. The holes will heal fairly rapidly because they are so small. No significant downtime will be experienced, and healing will be complete in just a few days. Patients are advised to avoid direct sunlight and harsh cleansers during the healing phase.

Alternatives to Microneedling


Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing involves using lasers, Intense Pulsed Lights (IPL), chemical peels, or dermabrasion. All of these types of treatments work to produce firm skin. They also eliminate signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and creases near the eyes and mouth. These practices can fix skin pigmentation issues and minimize scars left from chickenpox, measles, or acne. Treatment types can be blended to reach maximal results.

 

Ultherapy

Ultherapy utilizes the delivery of ultrasound deep into the layers of the dermis. The treatment stimulates collagen production and improves the appearance of the skin by making it firm and supple. Ultherapy helps augment the tissue to promote a bright, radiant appearance to the skin. Ultherapy provides a healthier, more attractive appearance to the skin without invasive procedures.

 

Carboxy Therapy 

Carboxytherapy is a non-invasive treatment that infuses carbon dioxide into the dermis. This helps to improve blood flow and reinforce the elasticity of the skin. This treatment also helps to make wrinkles in the skin vanish. Carboxy therapy treatments only take about 15-30 minutes, and the effects last up to six months.  

 

Botox

Botox is a popular dermal injection that helps give a healthy skin appearance. Botox works to paralyze the muscles that are contracting and causing wrinkles. The solution essentially makes the muscles go to sleep and allows the muscles to relax, enabling the skin to become smoother. Botox also makes the tissue appear fuller and healthier. Treatments take only a few minutes and can be done during a lunch break. Botox treatments need to be completed every three to six months to maintain the effects.
