Microneedling

Microneedling service in Tampa Florida

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment designed to help your body produce more collagen and elastin and improve skin texture. This treatment is also known as collagen therapy. Microneedling promotes collagen and enhances texture and skin rejuvenation,  minimizes and heals scars, fine wrinkles, pore appearance, and overall skin tone. The mechanical injury to the tissue triggers the body’s natural wound healing process, creating collagen and elastin.

It works to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out by stimulating your body’s natural wound healing mechanism while reducing cellular damage. This treatment is safe for any skin tone.

What is the procedure for Microneedling Tampa

During the procedure, a device with fine needles, called the skin pen,  is used to make tiny punctures in the top layer of skin. The purpose of these punctures is to stimulate collagen production.

This treatment is often performed on the face but can also be used on other body parts, such as the neck, chest, or hands. Most people tolerate the treatment well. We apply numbing cream 15-30 minutes before treatment to keep you comfortable. After the procedure, there may be some redness and swelling, but this typically disappears within a few hours.

A series of treatments are typically recommended about four to six weeks apart. The number of treatments you need will depend on your skin concerns and goals.

After the procedure, you may see some skin tightening improvements. However, to see the full results, it may take 4 to 6 weeks. This gives the skin time to produce collagen and for the cells to turn over. Our experts will consult with you during your consultation and make recommendations to ensure you get the best result from this treatment.

What are the Microneedling Benefits?

There are many potential benefits, including skin rejuvenation, softening the skin, improving the appearance of scars and stretch marks, and improving the skin tone.

The downtime from this treatment is minimal. 

It can also improve the effectiveness of topical skin care products. The punctures created by the treatment allow these products to penetrate the skin better and reach the lower layers where they can be most effective.

How long does the Microneedling Benefits Last?

There are many determining factors as to how long benefits last. We will give you a personalized treatment plan to reach your skin goals. The benefits are long-lasting, but to achieve maximum results, you will want to schedule 3-4 treatments 4-6 weeks apart to achieve your skin goals. Then, you will want to plan on 2-3 treatments per year to maintain your results. Your recommended schedule may be less frequent based on your skin condition and goals.

 

Some Quick Tips On What to Avoid Before the Treatment?

When you call to book your appointment, we will let you know what to avoid for at least a week before the treatment—for example, avoiding direct sunlight, tanning, and scrubbing. In addition, it might be beneficial to stop using certain supplements, such as aspirin or fish oil. If you use retinol products, it is best to stop using them three days in advance for best results.

What Should You Expect After Treatment?

Most people tolerate the treatment well. After the procedure, there may be some redness and swelling, but this typically disappears within a few hours.

Avoid strenuous exercises, sun exposure, and hot showers for the rest of the day. Use a gentle cleanser to clean your skin. Apply higher sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage.

Yes, you can wear makeup. However, avoid using products that contain harsh chemicals or exfoliants. These can irritate your skin for a few days.

It is best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to your skin. Your aesthetician will give you instructions on what to do after your treatment.
