MICRONEEDLING

What happens during microneedling?

 

Microneedling works by triggering your body’s innate healing powers. Treatments use a handpiece covered in thin, sterile needles to create tiny punctures into the deeper layers of your skin.

 

While these punctures aren’t deep enough to create real damage to the skin, they prompt your body to launch a fast healing response. New blood vessels develop, enhancing circulation to the area. More importantly, new collagen and elastin develop, creating tissue that smooths away lines and wrinkles and renews the look and feel of your skin. 

 

LAH Health & Aesthetics in Prosper, Texas, offers microneedling using the latest technology, in medical aesthetics. A variety of SkinMedica skincare and pharmaceutical grade products. 

 

You can also add platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into your microneedling sessions. This powerful concentration of your own blood helps reduce inflammation and speed the healing process, while also boosting tissue development. 

 

 

 

What kinds of issues can microneedling treat?

 

One of the reasons why microneedling is such a popular treatment option is the dynamic nature of the process. Microneedling can improve multiple issues with the same treatment. 

 

Some of the conditions microneedling can effectively treat include:

• Fine lines & wrinkles

• Aging/sun damaged skin

• Enlarged pores

• Acne scarring/acne & breakouts

• Stretch marks/Scarring

• Pigmentation

• Rosacea

• Roughly textured skin

• Loose or sagging skin

 

The ability to improve more than one condition at once makes microneedling an excellent return on your aesthetic investment. Each treatment is tailored to address specific issues and optimize results and provide long term results with little to now downtime. Treatment areas include the following: face, neck, chest, chest, breast, chest, thighs, abdomen, arms, scalp, and buttocks.

 

Is the recovery process difficult after microneedling?

 

All this talk about punctures and healing might lead you to believe that microneedling has a substantial recovery process. In reality, your skin responds quickly to these treatments, and there is very little in the way of recovery. 

 

A degree of redness, swelling, and mild bleeding is normal for a few days after your microneedling sessions. You should take care to protect your skin from sun exposure or harsh skin care products while the healing process moves forward. 

 

Within a few weeks, you’ll see the initial results from your treatment, but it takes several months for the full results to develop. Most people achieve optimal results from a series of treatment sessions spaced out over time. We pair each treatment plan with specific pharmaceutical grade skin products including, Biotin and vitamin rich repair topicals.
