MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy, is a cosmetic procedure used to improve texture, tone and wrinkles in the skin.
Micro needling can also reduce the appearance of scarring.
HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?
Microneedling is based on the use of tiny needles to create very small holes in the skin. This procedure stimulates your skin’s healing process, producing more collagen and elastin. The repair process begins almost immediately, resulting in softened wrinkles and scars, as well as a thicker dermis.
There is no tissue damage with micro needling. The small holes in the epidermis begin to close immediately and the healing response begins right away. Depending on the skin defect, you will see some redness and may experience a small amount of bleeding that stops almost immediately.
The World's First FDA-Cleared Microneedling Device
Bellus Medical’s SkinPen®
SkinPen® microneedling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cell damage.
PHASE 1
INFLAMMATION
Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and create new tissue.
PHASE 2
PROLIFERATION
The wound is re-built with new granulation cells. Plus a new network of blood vessels develops.
PHASE 3
REMODELING
The wound is re-built with new granulation cells. Plus a new network of blood vessels develops.
Micro needling also allows topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed into the skin more effectively. This allows our providers to customize treatment to a specific issue, using topicals to accelerate results.
The best and most common areas for treatment are:
FACE
ARMS
NECK
Décolleté
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
There is a small blood sample taken from your own body and the PRP is separated from the other components in your blood. During the microneedling procedure, the PRP is topically applied to the skin.
The small channels that were created by microneedling provide a direct pathway to deeper layers of the skin for optimal wound healing. Mirconeedling with PRP application is a great way to smooth fine lines, scars, wrinkles, and even increase overall rejuvenation of the skin. PRP can also be injected into problem areas of the skin to create further collagen regenerative and healing.
MICRONEEDLING WITH HYALURONIC ACID
At Renew Wellness and Aesthetics, our facialists also utilize hyaluronic acid with some microneedling treatments. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body and gives the skin natural volume and plumpness. As described above, microneedling provides gentle exfoliation to the skin, allowing it to better absorb the treatment method. The Hyaluronic acid is applied topically during microneedling to better access the deeper layers of your skin. Hyaluronic acid not only hydrates but also nourishes and helps revitalize the skin.
After treatment, you will likely look like you have a sunburn. This can last anywhere from 24 hours to several days depending on the depth of treatment.
