Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure involving the use of very fine, sterilized needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. The use of controlled micro-injuries to the skin stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing processes. It increases collagen and elastin production. This helps to improve concerns such as pore size, acne scarring, stretch marks, texture, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles.
Here at Shine, we use SkinPen, the first FDA-approved microneedling device in the US.
Plan to arrive with clean skin. We will review your aesthetic goals and discuss the treatment plan. Photos will be taken to follow your progress. Your provider will gently cleanse your skin before beginning treatment.
There is very minimal downtime following a microneedling treatment. Your skin may appear slightly pink or red, similar to a sunburn. Over the next 24-72 hours this should subside. We will send you with complimentary post-care products to assist in giving you the best results possible. We recommend you avoid makeup following the treatment. Rejuvenated skin can sometimes be seen after just one treatment and results continuously improve over the next 3-6 months post-treatment. We recommend a series of at least 3 treatments to see the best results.
