Microneedling Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that reduces the appearance of aging with no discomfort or downtime, delivering smooth, natural-looking results by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin texture.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a rejuvenating treatment that uses a specialized micro-needle pen to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. The increased collagen helps plump and thicken the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars.
Struggling with fine lines, wrinkles, or uneven skin texture? Dealing with sagging skin, large pores, or acne scars on your face? Micro Needling might be the perfect solution to restore your skin’s smoothness, firmness, and youthful glow.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits for improving skin health and appearance. This treatment can address common concerns like acne, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, large pores, reduced skin elasticity, acne scars, stretch marks, sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling promotes smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling for the Face and Body
While microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, it is a versatile treatment that can also target other areas of the body. Popular treatment zones include the hands, décolleté, stomach, and thighs, offering comprehensive skin rejuvenation wherever you need it.
How Does Microneedling Treatment Work?
The microneedling device is motorized, with a sterile tip containing very fine needles. When the device is run over the skin, the needles create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, triggering the body to create new collagen and elastin.
VS MedSpa Laser Clinic is pleased to offer microneedling treatments with the ACS–PEN®. Unlike other microneedling devices and dermal rollers, ACS (Advanced Cell Stimulation) features a linear needle module (i.e. 10 microneedles in one line), offering a comfortable, precise treatment with minimal to no downtime. Effective with all skin types.
What To Expect During Treatment?
Each microneedling treatment takes approximately 20-30 minutes. During the procedure, your technician will apply a hyaluronic acid serum to your skin before gliding the ACS–PEN® over the skin’s surface in a precise pattern, allowing the micro-needles to enter the skin vertically. This will ensure a uniform treatment, with the precise number of micro-injuries necessary to generate results. The depth of the treatment will be determined by your skin texture and skin concerns being targeted. Numbing cream can be used, if necessary. After the treatment, your technician will apply the appropriate skincare products, and provide you with post-treatment instructions.
How to Prepare for Microneedling
Proper preparation for your microneedling session is essential to ensure optimal results and a smooth experience. Here are some key steps to follow:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 24-48 hours before your appointment to minimize the risk of irritation.
- Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinol, exfoliants, and other active skincare ingredients 3-5 days before treatment, as they can make your skin more sensitive.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
- Clean Your Skin: On the day of your treatment, arrive with a clean face, free of makeup, sunscreen, or lotion.
- Talk to Our Specialist: Discuss any medications, skin conditions, or concerns with your skincare specialist beforehand to tailor the treatment to your needs.
Microneedling Treatment Options
Microneedling Facial
Microneedling Facial with ACS–PEN is an advanced facial treatment designed to rejuvenate and enhance skin health. It offers multiple benefits, including improved skin texture by reducing acne scars and wrinkles, stimulating natural collagen production for firmer skin, enhancing product absorption for better results, minimizing pore size for a smoother complexion, and evening skin tone by addressing pigmentation issues and boosting radiance.
Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid
Microneedling with hyaluronic acid combines the skin-rejuvenating benefits of microneedling with the intense hydration and nourishment provided by hyaluronic acid. This powerful combination enhances skin texture, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes a plump, hydrated complexion. Ideal for addressing dryness, dullness, and uneven skin tone, microneedling with hyaluronic acid leaves the skin smoother, firmer, and glowing with long-lasting hydration.
Microneedling with Exosomes
Microneedling with exosomes is a cutting-edge treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with exosome serums derived from stem cells to amplify results. These exosomes deliver powerful growth factors and proteins deep into the skin, making this approach highly effective for advanced skin rejuvenation, reducing pigmentation and scarring, improving hydration and elasticity, and promoting faster recovery.
Microneedling with Vitamin C
Microneedling with Vitamin C combines the benefits of collagen stimulation with the powerful brightening and revitalizing effects of vitamin C. During the treatment, a vitamin C serum is applied to penetrate deeply into the skin, enhancing its radiance and promoting an even tone. This approach is especially effective for reducing pigmentation, improving skin texture, and stimulating collagen production, leaving the skin brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking.
Microneedling With LED Light Therapy
Microneedling with LED Light Therapy combines the skin-rejuvenating benefits of microneedling with the healing properties of LED light. The addition of LED light enhances the results by targeting specific concerns. Blue light reduces acne-causing bacteria, while red light promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and boosts collagen synthesis. This powerful combination accelerates recovery, enhances skin tone, and delivers radiant, healthy-looking skin.
Microneedling for Men
Microneedling for Men improves skin texture, reduced appearance of acne scars, minimized pore size, and enhanced collagen production for firmer, healthier-looking skin. It also helps smooth fine lines, even out skin tone, and reduce sun damage. Ideal treatment for men looking to rejuvenate their skin while maintaining a natural, masculine look.
Microneedling for Décolleté and Neck
Microneedling for the décolleté and neck is a non-invasive treatment that targets fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven texture in these delicate areas. This treatment is ideal for addressing signs of aging or environmental damage on the neck and chest, areas often overlooked in skincare routines. Microneedling for the décolleté and neck is safe, effective, and involves minimal discomfort or downtime.
Microneedling for Hands
Microneedling for hands can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots caused by sun exposure and aging. Additionally, it enhances skin texture, leaving your hands feeling softer, smoother, and noticeably more youthful.
What to Expect After Microneedling
After a microneedling treatment, some patients may notice immediate improvements in skin texture and radiance. However, it’s important to understand that the process of collagen and elastin regeneration takes time. You might experience mild redness or swelling for 24–48 hours, which often feels similar to a light sunburn. Fortunately, this subsides as your skin begins to heal.
Typically, it can take around 4–6 weeks to see the full benefits of microneedling. During this time, the newly stimulated collagen works to smooth fine lines, reduce scars, and enhance overall skin tone. As a result, with each session, the improvements become more noticeable. Additionally, regular treatments not only amplify these effects but also ensure long-term improvement. In conclusion, microneedling provides a powerful way to achieve firmer, brighter, and rejuvenated skin over time.
Microneedling Recovery and Timeline
Immediate Aftercare
Patients can return home right after their microneedling procedure. While some choose to take the day off due to redness or pinkish skin, it’s possible to resume work the next day. This redness is temporary and a normal part of the healing process.
First 48 Hours
It’s common to feel tightness, warmth, or mild itchiness in the treated area for up to two days. Some patients may notice minor bruising or temporary hyperpigmentation, especially those with darker skin tones, which typically subsides within 48 hours. Staying hydrated and avoiding irritation is key during this time.
Skincare Restrictions
For 12 hours post-treatment, avoid makeup or sunscreen to allow your skin to breathe. Gently cleanse your face three hours after the procedure and again before bedtime. Normal skincare routines can resume after 48 hours, but avoid alcohol-based toners for at least two weeks, as they can dry out the skin.
Sun Protection
Excessive sun exposure should be avoided for 10 days following microneedling. If necessary, wear a broad-spectrum SPF after the initial recovery period to prevent skin damage and ensure optimal healing. Proper aftercare not only minimizes discomfort but also maximizes results, leaving your skin radiant and rejuvenated.
What Skin Concerns Can Be Addressed by Microneedling?
Wrinkles and Aging Skin
Skin needling minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, particularly on the face and under the eyes, by stimulating collagen and improving elasticity for firmer, younger-looking skin.
Scars and Stretch Marks
This treatment fades scars, including acne scars, and stretch marks by breaking down scar tissue and promoting skin renewal.
Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
Micro needling improves discoloration caused by melasma, age spots, and sunspots, creating a more even skin tone by boosting cell turnover.
Under-Eye Rejuvenation
Microneedling under eyes is a safe, effective way to target fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness. This delicate area benefits from the collagen boost, leaving the skin tighter and more refreshed.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
To achieve the best results, 6 microneedling treatments are typically recommended. For general skin rejuvenation, scars, or stretch marks, treatments are spaced every 4 weeks to allow the skin sufficient time to heal and regenerate.
For aging skin, sessions might be scheduled every 2 weeks to address wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity more effectively. The exact number of treatments depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals, so consulting with a professional is essential for a personalized plan.
Microneedling for Aging Hands
Professional micro needling is a highly effective treatment for aging hands. It is safe for most skin types and provides long-lasting rejuvenation with minimal downtime. This treatment effectively minimizes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots that commonly form on the hands due to aging and sun exposure.
Additionally, it improves skin texture, leaving your hands feeling smoother and looking more youthful. At our medical spa, microneedling for hands is a reliable and advanced solution to restore and rejuvenate the natural beauty of your hands.
