So we might’ve gotten a little carried away but microneedling is one of those things we can’t help but get really excited about.
Minimally invasive, nontoxic and multifaceted. Excuse us while we take a minute to swoon.
Okay, back to business. Microneedling, or as the ostentatious say ‘percutaneous collagen induction therapy’, uses teeny tiny needles to make microscopic ‘injuries’ to the skin. You just made a face didn’t you? Why would I want you to injure my face? Let’s focus on the word microscopic here and remember that the body is equipped with the incredible superpower of self healing.
Your liver can regenerate. A superficial cut will almost immediately start to clot, scab and generate new skin. Even broken bones will callus at the fracture site and new ‘threads’ of bone cells start to grow. Unfortunately as we get older, or suffer from disease or injury, these processes slow or stop all together. Immortality isn’t exactly in the cards for any of us.
Microneedling however, stimulates that self healing process! It encourages new growth of collagen – that vital protein that gives skin a smooth, youthful appearance – and elastin – another ‘homemade’ protein that gives your skin necessary strength and resilience. All of this without the use of synthetic fillers and toxins or invasive surgeries with extensive recovery times.
It’s obvious, microneedling is really darn awesome and while some see instant results after the first procedure, the real magic happens with consistent, repeated treatments. When it comes to treating chronic pain and complicated conditions, our goal is a long-lasting permanent solution. The same goes for our aesthetic services which is why experienced estheticians will recommend multiple sessions to achieve the best result possible.
And if the thought of needles in your face still makes you nervous – well, fair enough. We still can’t figure out how Mike Tyson survived getting that tribal tattoo around his eye socket. Microneedling, on the other hand, is not painful. In fact we apply a topical anesthetic cream prior to treatment to ensure that your experience is a relaxing one.
