Microneedling
At Prescription Beauty, we're passionate about helping you achieve healthy, radiant skin. Our experienced providers specialize in microneedling, a minimally invasive treatment that rejuvenates your complexion and stimulates natural collagen production. We use advanced techniques and personalized care to ensure your microneedling experience is comfortable, effective, and tailored to your unique skin concerns.
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive and time-tested aesthetic treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Before your procedure, we will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Then, a small handheld device with fine needles is gently glided over the treatment area, creating micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates collagen production and allows for better absorption of topical serums. We often incorporate customized serums to enhance the treatment's effectiveness and address specific skin concerns.
Microneedling can improve a variety of skin concerns, including:
Microneedling can be performed on various areas of the face and body, including:
Microneedling is an excellent treatment for a wide range of skin types. However, it's essential to consult with our providers to determine if microneedling is right for you. Certain skin conditions, such as active acne or infections, may make an alternative treatment more suitable for some patients. During your consultation, we will assess your skin to ensure you receive the best possible care for your skin.
Most patients experience minimal downtime after microneedling. You may have some redness and mild swelling for a few days, similar to a sunburn. Our providers will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery.
You may notice some initial improvement in your skin's texture and tone within a few days of treatment. However, the full effects of microneedling become more apparent over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases. Results can last for several months to a year, depending on individual factors and lifestyle.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. You may experience a mild prickling sensation during the treatment.
The number of treatments needed varies depending on your individual goals and skin concerns. Our providers will recommend a personalized treatment plan for you.
Typically, treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for adequate healing and collagen production.
Our providers will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, certain skincare products, and makeup for a short period.
Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and pinpoint bleeding.
Insurance coverage for microneedling varies. We recommend checking with your provider.
