Microneedling /Collagen Induction Therapy: Treatment for Aging and Acne Scaring

Microneedling or  Collagen Induction Therapy, is a new innovative treatment in aesthetic skin rejuvenation that helps rejuvenate aging skin, improving the appearance of the skin and  minimizes the signs of aging. Microneedling helps to stimulate your body’s own collagen production by a way of “wound healing”. The treatment creates small channels on the skin to initiate the healing and production of collagen.

 

What is Microneedling effective for?

 

This procedure treats fine lines and wrinkles, hyper pigmentation (sun spots/age spots), sun damage, acne scars, thin skin density, rosacea(mild), uneven tone or texture, and minimizes pores.

 

How does it work?

The Micro-Needling device creates controlled micro-channels in the surface of the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural wound healing process, triggering the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to the re-building of collagen and elastin. Face Fitness combines this with the use of a human bone marrow stem cell serum with growth factors and cytokines infused in a hyaluronic acid base. This combination is 100% compatible with the skin physiology and synergistically enhance the bio-signal response of the Micro-Needling process. Additionally, we recommend follow a Micro-Needling session with LED Red Light Therapy to speed the skin’s  recovery and maximize results!

 

 

What to expect during treatment

 

A layer of topical numbing cream is applied  to the skin and allowed to process for approximately 20 minutes to insure client comfort during the treatment.The Microneedling treatment gives a light tingling, or “prickly” sensation, and may provide a temporary reddening for up to 24-48 hours post treatment. It may also create a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. Even, pinpoint bleeding that can occur with a deeper treatment, usually only leaves redness and mild inflammation for 2-4 days max! Optimal result are achieved with a series of treatments. An individualized, post-care regimen will be provided by your esthetician as well as a treatment plan to achieve desired results.

 

What areas can be treated?

 

At Face Fitness, we focus on treating the face and neck. However, Micro-Needling can be performed on all body parts including décolleté, hands, legs, arms, back and abdomen. For a customized body application, please consult with one of our estheticians about treatment options and pricing.

 

How Long Does The Procedure Take?

 

The procedure takes 60 minutes for a full face application and 90 minutes for a face and neck application. Additionally, a session of LED Red Light Therapy may be added to the session to speed skin recovery and improve results.

 

What is the downtime?

 

We recommend that  patients do not make plans for right after the procedure. It is best to go straight home immediately after their treatment. The skin will be red and slightly swollen right after the procedure, quite similar to a sunburn. The redness and swelling typically improves on day two. By day three, most redness and swelling has subsided, and any noticeable redness is easily covered up with makeup. You will need to completely avoid the sun during this time. Most of the time, patients who have this procedure on a Friday should be okay to return to work on Monday and are allowed to wear makeup.

 

When will I see the results?

 

Clients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results continue to improve up to 6 months after the treatment as collagen production continues.

 

How many treatments will I need?

 

It is recommended for most clients to receive a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, or acne scars, it is recommended to receive 6-10 sessions at 4-6 weeks intervals.
