Boost Collagen and Rejuvenate Your Skin with Minimally Invasive Microneedling.
Microneedling in Atlanta is a popular minimally invasive treatment that helps to rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. Generally considered safe for all skin types, this treatment involves a series of tiny needles that lead to a big boost in natural collagen production. As the building block of firm, youthful-looking skin, collagen unfortunately diminishes as we age, contributing to a host of skin concerns. Microneedling can assist in reversing these effects and helping you reclaim a refreshed appearance you long for.
Am I a candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling was designed to benefit virtually all skin types and tones in adults of a wide age range. Whether used a means of “pre-juvenation” in your 20s and 30s or to address the signs of aging in your 40s, 50s, and beyond, microneedling may be an effective solution for you. Ultimately, anyone seeking smoother, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime may be a good candidate. People with advanced signs of aging, however, may better benefit from other treatment options at Atlanta Face & Body, which we will discuss at your private consultation. Microneedling may not be suitable for those with an active skin infection.
How does microneedling work?
During a microneedling treatment (also referred to as collagen induction therapy), a trained Atlanta Face & Body technician first applies a topical numbing cream then uses a specially designed handheld device containing a series of very fine needles to gently go over the targeted area. The needles safely penetrate the outer layers of skin to create scarless micro-injuries that signal the body’s healing processes, namely the production of collagen and elastin. Microneedling can easily be combined with other treatments to maximize benefits, including greatly increasing the absorption of special serums. We offer the option of pairing microneedling with growth factors and hyaluronic acid, among others
Before & After: Microneedling
What does microneedling treat?
Microneedling has proven to be effective at treating wide range of skin concerns. Some of the most common include but are not limited to:
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Surgical or injury scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven tone & texture
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sunspots
- Rosacea
Can anything be included with a microneedling treatment to enhance my results?
Microneedling is a proven effective treatment option on its own, but we do offer the addition of exosome and peptide serums to help take your results to the next level. Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles that help cells communicate with each other by carrying proteins, fats, and genetic material. Exosomes contribute to even more collagen production than microneedling alone as well as helping reduce inflammation, soothe irritation, and decrease cellular senescence. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins, such as collagen and elastin. They support natural skin repair, help fight inflammation, improve elasticity, and reduce the overall signs of aging. Feel free to ask us about these amazing add-ons at your appointment.
Does microneedling hurt?
We apply a numbing cream prior to your session to help ensure you’re comfortable during your microneedling treatment. Many of our patients describe their microneedling experience as a feeling of light pressure with an occasional warming sensation. Others report a feeling of minor prickling. These sensations are generally tolerated very well, even being categorized in a range of being mostly comfortable to virtually pain-free.
Are there any side effects from microneedling treatment?
The most common side effects from microneedling are mild irritation and redness (almost like a mild sunburn). These effects are often mild and resolve in a few days. You might also experience a mild tightness sensation, swelling, dryness, or tenderness for the first few days. Most patients return to their normal activities the next day following their microneedling treatment.
When will I notice the results from my microneedling treatment?
Many people notice a degree of improvement almost immediately after microneedling. But the real magic is how the skin improves over time due to increased collagen production. Optimal results can take about six to eight weeks to appear, which is when the newer collagen becomes the most evident.
