Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing process and promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for youthful and healthy-looking skin. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin that looks and feels revitalized. Results last for up to 5 years and the best part is its your own natural skin, no expensive fillers, chemicals or neurotoxins necessary!
We use the AcuLift™ MicroPen in our treatments which has tiny, sterile needles that gently permeate the skin at adjustable levels appropriate for the area of the face being treated. The needles puncture the surface of the skin, creating microscopic channels that trigger the body's natural healing process. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other signs of aging by increasing the skins density and smoothing its texture. It is an amazing tool to eliminate scars, from acne or otherwise as well as hyperpigmentation, rosacea, strecthmarks and more. It can treat the body skin too if you have an area you would like to resurface and rejuvenate. Results are long lasting and safe for any skin type.
Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, arms, hands, legs, and other areas of the body. The procedure is relatively quick, taking between 30 minutes and an hour, and there is no downtime required. In some cases, a topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort during the procedure. We also offer nano needling to rejuvenate the lips and delicate areas of the eyes within the orbital bone.
Microneedling is that it is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin without undergoing surgery. Unlike other cosmetic procedures, such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing, micro-needling is non-invasive and does not require the use of harsh chemicals or heat. This makes it a great option for people who want to improve the appearance of their skin without undergoing surgery or exposing themselves to potentially harmful substances. It is also much more affordable than bottom, fillers or fast lifts and imparts a much more natural look and feel.
Microneedling is performed by a licensed professional, including acupuncturists who are experts in safely and gently treating the face and acupuncture points in the area. Before the procedure, the skin is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The practitioner will then apply numbing cream if desired, followed by applying the microneedling device to the skin, gently moving it back and forth over the skin with special attention on problem areas like brow lines, naso-labial folds and furrows between the brows. After the procedure, the skin may be slightly pink and sensitive, but these symptoms typically resolve within a few hours. During, before and after treatment organic skincare is applied to soothe the skin, promote healing and boost collagen and elastin synthesis to maximize the effects of treatment and visible results. We recommend 4-6 sessions spaced 2-6 weeks apart for maximum results. The skin will continue to transform months after treatment and last for years.
It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using a targeted moisturizer, and avoiding makeup for a few days after the procedure. You may also be advised to use a skincare product that contains growth factors or other active ingredients to enhance the healing process and promote the production of new collagen and elastin.
