Microneedlng is a rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, tiny needles to stimulate collagen production in the skin and reduce the signs of aging. it works by gently puncturing the skin to create a number of controlled, evenly spaced micro-injuries in treaded areas, activating the body's natural healing response to increase collagen and elastin levels. as the building blocks of firm youthful-looking skin, new collagen and elastin rejuvenate your appearance from the inside out, for a smooth supple complexion. Microneedling is a highly versatile procedure and provides the following benefits:

· Wrinkle and line reduction

· Improvement of skin's texture and tone

· Correction of pigmentation issues

· Softening the appearance of scars (both acne and traumatic scarring)

· Reducing stretch marks

· Minimizing large pores

· Ask about optional add-ons for:

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

The duration of a microneedling session typically spans around 40 minutes, though this can adjust based on the treatment's extent and the targeted areas' size. Initially, to prepare your skin for the procedure, it will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort, particularly beneficial for treating sensitive regions.

During the procedure the SKIN PEN and REJUVAPEN devices, are expertly guided over your skin, meticulously creating tiny punctures. This innovative tool allows for the adjustment of needle depth and length, catering to your unique skin concerns and enhancing the treatment's efficacy. Such customization ensures that your specific skin needs are addressed, aligning perfectly with your beauty objectives and providing a tailor-made treatment experience with the SKIN PEN and REJUVAPEN at their core. This approach not only targets your concerns directly but also promotes an optimal environment for skin rejuvenation, leading to visibly improved skin health and appearance.

Is Microneedling Right for Me?

Microneedling, distinct from laser, chemical, or abrasive rejuvenation methods, is universally compatible and safe for most individuals across all skin tones and types, including those with allergies or sensitivities. Its versatility makes it an optimal choice for anyone seeking to enhance their complexion without undergoing surgery or enduring long recovery periods. This treatment caters to a broad demographic, offering solutions for various skin issues and promoting a healthier, more youthful look.

However, it's important to note that certain conditions may limit suitability for microneedling, such as:

• Blood clotting or wound healing complications
• Autoimmune diseases
• Persistent skin disorders like psoriasis
• Propensity for keloids or presence of skin lesions
• Active skin infections, whether bacterial or fungal

The relevance of our SKIN PEN and REJUVAPEN devices in this context lies in their advanced precision and adaptability, allowing for tailored treatments that respect the unique conditions and goals of each patient. During an initial evaluation, our team at Northcoast Laser MedSpa will thoroughly review your medical history and skin concerns to ascertain if microneedling with the SKIN PEN and REJUVAPEN are your best path forward. Our dedicated professionals, including experienced physicians and nurses, are committed to delivering safe, effective results that align with your expectations, leveraging the SKIN PEN and REJUVAPEN's capabilities to ensure the highest standards of care and satisfaction.

Microneedling Results and Recovery

After your microneedling treatment, you may experience some redness or sensitivity that is often compared to a mild sunburn for the next 48 hours. You may also notice some dryness, swelling or bruising depending on the extent of your treatment, but these side effects are normal and indicate that the healing process has begun. If you opted to include either of our optional add ons to your treatment, these symptoms will be less noticeable and dissipate quicker.

As your skin begins to heal, your complexion will become noticeably firmer and smoother, with additional improvements that will develop over the next few months as collagen production continues to increase. Some patients reach their aesthetic goals after just one treatment, but microneedling can be repeated in four to six week intervals to maximize or prolong your results. In addition to leaving you with softer, more youthful looking skin, the benefits of your microneedling treatment include:

• Stimulates collagen growth for enhanced skin elasticity
• Naturally rejuvenates skin without leaving marks or scars
• Minimal downtime and swift recovery process
• Boosts absorption of topical skincare products
• Improves skin texture and reduces scarring for a healthy, vibrant complexion
• Offers enhanced outcomes with optional treatment add-ons

Clinical studies have also found that microneedling can increase collagen and elastin production by up to 400 percent after just four treatments, delivering long-lasting results that can be maintained with occasional touch-ups. Our experienced team can develop a personalized treatment schedule depending on your goals and needs to ensure that you’ll enjoy smooth, supple skin for years to come.
