Microneedling
Bid farewell to bothersome skin conditions such as acne, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and scars with our cutting-edge and minimally invasive procedure. Our cosmetic treatment begins by cleansing your face and indulging your skin with a soothing mask, leaving it calmer, smoother, and utterly relaxed.
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, harnesses the power of fine, short needles as a dynamic solution for addressing deep lines, stretch marks, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation. It’s a compelling option for those who have found traditional treatments like chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser resurfacing to be less than satisfying.
Our cosmetic facial treatment is versatile, suitable for use from the ankles to the scalp. The renowned Dermaroller, a well-known microneedling device, ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter.

How It Works
The procedure commences with the meticulous sterilization and disinfection of the targeted area. Following this, anesthesia is applied and allowed to set for an hour, ensuring skin numbness and patient comfort. Our expert dermatologist at Sthetics Med Spa then performs the skin needling procedure.
While the needles penetrate the dermis, the depth is tailored to meet the specific objectives of the treatment. Each session typically lasts around 60 minutes, providing you with an effective and rejuvenating experience.

F.A.Q
Do not use Accutane six months before treatment and topical agents that can lead to increased skin sensitivity 5 to 7 days before treatment. Avoid anti-inflammatory medication 3 days before the session and sunburn at least two weeks before it.
Those prone to cold sores should use an antiviral agent two days before and on the day of the treatment. Do not shave on the day itself to prevent skin irritation.
After the treatment, do not use anti-inflammatory medications for a week and avoid direct sunlight exposure and sun for two weeks. Use sunblock with SPF 30 or higher after 24 hours. Do not use arnica, bromelain, or ice on the face to facilitate skin rejuvenation.
Which body parts can the procedure be performed on?
The most popular and common areas are the neck, face, hands, and décolleté. There are also people who have it performed on the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs.
While patients normally experience mild discomfort during the session, it is not painful. Expect to see a little bleeding and micro bruises as the new collagen is stimulated.
The risks are minor. Some get allergic reactions from infection or follow-up routines. Listen to the aesthetician about the proper post-treatment procedures and follow their advice to prevent this from happening. They will also present risks that are relevant to you before the procedure.
It should be performed by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Check your state laws to ensure compliance. Do not just go to any nearby facial aesthetician to have it done. It is important to ensure that the person performing it has been board certified for your own safety.
