What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a tool to create tiny punctures in the skin. This mimics an injury and stimulates the body's natural process of producing collagen and elastin. With more collagen to lift and tighten the skin, we reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.

What Is a Treatment Like?

When you come to see us for microneedling, we use a numbing cream to ease any discomfort from the skin pricks. The microneedling tool looks like a pen with a group of tiny needles at the end. Areas where your skin is thinner may be more sensitive to the needles and you may have some slight discomfort, but you should not be in pain during a treatment.

After a microneedling treatment, recovery gel is applied to the skin. Do not apply makeup for the rest of the day. You can see the full benefits of your microneedling treatment after 2-4 weeks when swelling has subsided. You need to follow all aftercare instructions from your skin nurse for the best results.

What Are the Benefits of Miconeedling?

Stimulating collagen production has several benefits. Your body reacts the same to a tiny wound as it does to a large wound, triggering the healing process and producing lasting effects, as the body continues to produce collagen and elastin for up to three months.

Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face to reduce wrinkles and acne scarring and improve skin texture, but it can also be used to reduce stretch marks in areas like the legs, chest, or butt. If you want to improve the texture of your skin or reduce scars, you could benefit from microneedling in Panama City, Chipley, Panama City Beach, and Marianna, FL.
