Professional Microneedling in Aurora, CO
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive, effective, and popular cosmetic procedure that we offer here at Beyond Skin Dermatology to improve skin texture, reduce scars, and enhance overall skin appearance and youthfulness. This treatment involves using a device equipped with fine needles that is rolled over the skin creating microscopic punctures in the skin’s surface. This controlled injury method activates the skin’s natural healing process which promotes collagen and elastin production.
Here’s an in-depth look at microneedling, how it works, its benefits, and what you can expect from Microneedling at Beyond Skin Dermatology:
How Does Microneedling Work?
- Collagen Induction: The tiny punctures made during microneedling stimulate the skin’s repair mechanism, which in turn prompts the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins are nature’s building blocks essential for improving skin elasticity, firmness, and resilience.
- Improved Absorption: Microneedling also enhances the absorption of topical skincare products by creating channels that allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin. This increases the effectiveness of serums, moisturizers, and other treatments used in conjunction with microneedling.
What to Expect
- Consultation: First, we recommend a consultation with a Beyond Skin provider to discuss your skin concerns and goals for treatment. We will evaluate your skin’s condition and determine whether microneedling is the best option for what you want to accomplish, and other factors such as your skin type, and level of sensitivity.
- Preparation: The skin is then cleaned and a topical numbing medication is applied to minimize discomfort. Depending on your preferences and the depth of treatment needed, the needle length can be adjusted on the microneedling device.
- Microneedling Session: During your microneedling procedure, the microneedling device is manually passed over the treatment area, creating tiny controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The depth and speed of the needles can be adjusted to target trouble areas, such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you may experience redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Our team will provide post-treatment instructions, including skincare products to use, sun protection measures, and any restrictions on activities or products that could irritate the skin.
Results and Maintenance after Microneedling
Most of our Beyond Skin Dermatology patients typically notice improvements in skin texture and appearance from microneedling within just a few weeks. For optimal results, our team may recommend multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart, depending on the severity of the skin concerns being addressed. The effects of microneedling last for a long time as collagen production and skin rejuvenation continue for several months following treatment.
