Microneedling: Skin Rejuvenation
Everyone wants their skin to stay healthy, and there’s a variety of treatments to help make this happen. A popular treatment at Source Medical Aesthetics is our Microneedling treatment. This is a minimally invasive procedure that can do some amazing things for your skin.
People who have a Microneedling treatment performed can expect several benefits:
- Collagen production stimulation
- Improvement to a variety of skin conditions
- Improved texture and skin appearance
So what does the Microneedling treatment at Source Medical Aesthetics entail?
During this treatment, one of our highly-trained aestheticians will use a Microneedling device to prick tiny holes into your skin. When these micro-channels are created it will start to trigger collagen production in the treated areas. Collagen is important because it keeps our skin firm and tight and helps to maintain a healthy-looking texture.
Microneedling will work to address and improve a number of skin conditions such as:
- Fine Lines + Wrinkles
- Pigmentation
- Stretch Marks
- Scarring
- To name a few!
At Source Medical Aesthetics we also offer PiXel8-RF Microneedling. This treatment uses bi-polar, radiofrequency energy alongside minimally invasive micro-needles to facilitate effective, non-surgical, skin tightening with little to no downtime. During the treatment, heat is driven deep within the skin layers to stimulate and remodel collagen and cause elastin cells to regenerate. This results in a firmer, smoother, and more consistent skin surface.
Your aesthetician will discuss with you which option will work best for your specific needs.
This treatment is also effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks, pore size, and hyperpigmentation. When you book your appointment at Source Medical Aesthetics, our aestheticians will talk to you about your skincare goals, provide an assessment of any issues that may be present, and then explain how our Microneedling (or other treatments) may help.
Once your treatment is done, we discuss with you the best aftercare protocols to follow. Following our aftercare guidelines will help ensure that you heal properly and that your results are optimal and lasting!
If you’re wondering if Microneedling is effective for your skin type- the answer is yes! Microneedling has been shown to be effective for all skin types. Immediately after you will notice your skin is red and may feel tender, this is normal and will clear up over the next few days. While there is no major downtime, it is advised to avoid excessive sweating and excessive sun exposure. Your aesthetician may also recommend skincare treatments to apply at home- these are available at our office.
Results from your appointment will be noticeable soon after, however for the best results and skin correction, you will likely need a series of treatments. This is dependent on several factors such as age or severity of any skin challenges (should they be present). This is where the skin assessment our aestheticians provide comes in handy. They will be able to create a custom treatment plan unique and suitable to your needs.
