Microneedling
Microneedling in Charlottesville, VA
Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling or microchanneling is an aesthetic treatment in which the skin is punctured with tiny, sterile needles. These tiny ‘wounds’ cause your body to produce more collagen and elastin, proteins that help maintain skin integrity and which decrease as we age. Micro-channeling stimulates cell turnover, plumping the skin and reducing marks and scars. This process helps regenerate skin, promote healing and helps you to appear younger, and with tighter and smoother skin. The treatment may be done on any body part, including the face, neck, chest, arms, abdomen, hands. Microneedling is a popular aesthetic treatment for good reason: it offers great benefits in collagen production with little to no downtime. Microneedling can increase collagen by up to 400%!
Microneedling can address the following conditions:
Wrinkles & fine lines
Loss of skin elasticity, laxity, and crepiness
Hair thinning or loss (known as 'alopecia')
Sun damage, uneven pigmentation and dark spots (known as 'hyperpigmentation')
Acne, pimples, large pores and uneven texture
Scars and stretch marks

-
The frequency of treatment required varies depending on individual skin conditions and desired outcomes. Typically, 3-6 sessions are recommended for best results.
-
During the microneedling procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. The device is then used to create tiny punctures in the skin, resulting in a tingling sensation. The session usually lasts 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area.
-
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during Microneedling. Before the actual procedure, the provider will apply a numbing agent to the skin to alleviate the pain.
