What is Micro-Needling?

At MaxiLash Boutique, we use an electric skin needling device made especially for this purpose. Microneedling (aka collagen-induction therapy) is a nonsurgical treatment that penetrates your skin’s surface with fine needles to improve its appearance. This popular procedure can help smooth lines and wrinkles, even skin tone (including stubborn melasma), minimize large pores, firm skin, and fade stretch marks and scars, including acne scars. The device is a pen in which we insert an individual sterile stainless steel cartridge studded with 12 very fine needles. It is a medical device used in micro needling to break down old scar tissue and to stimulate skin cells to proliferate. This cell multiplication results in the formation of new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibers as well as in new capillaries for improved blood supply.

What to expect after your micro needling session?

Microneedling aftercare involves little to no downtime. Immediately after treatment, you can expect slight swelling, redness, or peeling of the treated area. This typically disappears after a few days. Approximately one to two weeks after treatment, clients experience plumper and more luminous skin. You’ll notice full microneedling results four to six weeks after treatment once your skin has had enough time to fully heal and rejuvenate. For the most youthful and clear-looking skin, we recommend scheduling regular microneedling sessions every four to six weeks.

Microneedling with the Dr. Pen Ultima A6S is proven to improve the appearance of:

  • Signs of aging
  • Scars, such as acne, surgical or other textural irregularities
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Loose skin
  • Dull/dehydrated skin

Microneedling Benefits:

Microneedling is used to treat a myriad of skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and stretch marks. This procedure is a safe and effective treatment for most skin types and is a gentler alternative to chemical peels. While microneedling is most commonly used to treat the face, it can also be performed on areas all over the body. Over time, regular microneedling sessions effectively erase scarring and uneven skin tones, reduce wrinkles, tighten and smooth skin, and reveal a youthful, glowing complexion.

Clients generally require 3-6 sessions to receive optimal results. The first 3 treatments should be spaced 2 weeks apart, and the last 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, stretch marks or deeper acne scars, it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at two to four week intervals. Our clients often notice an immediate “glow” to their skin within a couple of days. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results continue to improve up to six months after the treatment as collagen and elastic production continues.

LED LIGHT THERAPY:

Light Emitting Diode (LED) therapy is a popular therapeutic treatment that was actually developed by NASA. Originally created as a way to improve plant growth in space, researchers discovered that cells exposed to this specially-designed LED light grow 150- to 200 percent faster than those notbeing stimulated by the light, which can be used to increase wound healing rates by up to 50%.

The process itself is fairly simple. LED light therapy uses a variety of different wavelengths) or colors to emit UV-free light rays that can help with our bodies’ own repair process. Red LED light, in particular, aids in the production of new collagen and elastin, making it a fantastic therapeutic treatment that can be performed after microneedling.

Clients who relax for twenty minutes in a LED light therapy treatment will also experience a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, improve scarring, clear blemishes, improve skin tone, and repair sun damage.
