What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-surgical system that stimulates your skin’s natural ability to heal by the production of collagen. Microneedling uses 9 micro-needles to create thousands of invisible, vertical perforations into the epidermis and top layer of the dermis. As a result, the skin naturally produces collagen and elastin to repair these perforations, reducing wrinkles, reducing pore size, and improving skin texture.

Microneedling involves no surgery or anesthesia, minimal downtime, and quick results. It is a versatile treatment that can be performed on the face, neck, hands, or chest and offer patients a variety of benefits that include:

  • Tighter skin
  • Regained skin elasticity
  • Minimized pores
  • Smoothed fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improved scars, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation
  • Reduced appearance of stretch marks

Microneedling FAQs

Microneedling treatment benefits all skin types. Anyone who is concerned with fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, skin irregularities, acne scarring, mild stretch marks, mild to moderate loose skin or overall skin health is a candidate for micro-needling.

To keep you comfortable during the Rejuvapen treatment, a topical numbing gel (lidocaine) is applied 20 minutes prior to microneedling. Temporary redness occurs after each treatment and deeper treatments may produce temporary pinpoint bleeding both which typically resolve within 24 – 48 hours.

Gels and growth factor serums are applied during the microneedling treatment which promotes better absorption into the skin. Growth factors help shorten healing time and optimize procedure outcomes with visible improvement often in 24 hours. The Rejuvapen treatment is designed to produce tighter, smoother skin, and a more youthful appearance.

Any patient with an active infection, Hepatitis or any other viral infection should not have treatment. If you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant then you should not have treatment. Anyone with a bleeding disorder is not a candidate for this treatment. Patients need to stop using Retin-A at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. If you scar easily, have a history of keloids or fever blisters, you shouldn’t have treatment without fully discussing your medical history with your esthetician prior to treatment. No one with a recent sunburn and no one who has received treatment for an autoimmune disease within 72 hours should have treatment. If you have any of these issues, alternative options for skin treatment can be determined and reviewed.

To achieve the best results we recommend 3-4 treatments at 4-week intervals. Additional treatments may be necessary or desired depending on skin condition, and follow-up treatments may be considered 3-4 months later depending on how your skin ages.
