is a minimally invasive treatment to induce collagen and rejuvenate skin. The therapy involves puncturing the skin with tiny needles down to level of low dermis in order stimulate collagen growth and repair, improve skin elasticity, and tighten skin.
In our office, we use an electronic device for microneedling that has many advantages over home derma pen rollers and nonmedical derma pen devices. Our highly trained staff can customize each patient’s treatment for optimum results including specific areas treated on the face, neck and decolletage. Microneedling punctures the skin at 600 revolutions per minute maximizing collagen growth for smoother skin. The depth of needle penetration is adjustable based on patient tolerance, and the needle produces a clean puncture into the dermis leaving normal tissue between punctures. Generally the deeper the needle penetration, the better the results of the treatment. Ideally, four initial treatments are suggested 4 to 6 weeks apart. While skin improvement begins to be seen after the first treatment, maximal results are most noted 4 to 6 months after the last treatment. Skin benefits usually last 18-24 months, and we are finding that most patients are sustaining their radiant skin results with a retreatment once a year. Compare our microneedle treatment which in many ways is similar to the way a fraxel laser works, but at a fraction of the cost. Coupled with sensible skin care, antiaging creams, and other aesthetic procedures at Silver Lake Wellness, looking your best is not only achievable, but more affordable than surgery or high priced lasers.
Your Silver Lake microneedle appointment is comfortable thanks to the numbing cream applied to your face 30 minutes prior to your microneedle treatment. The microneedle procedure itself takes 30-40 minutes so the total time spent in the office is about 75 minutes.
| The procedure results in immediate redness that diminishes over a few days but is easily covered by make up if desirable. You can return normal activities immediately but avoid heavy workouts for 24 hours. |
