About Microneedling
Microneedling is less expensive alternative to laser skin treatments, which can cost about four times as much as microneedling. It’s been shown to work better for people with darker skin tones because it doesn't involve any heat and may not affect their complexion's pigmentation or color like other procedures would if used on them (such as sun exposure). This cosmetic procedure uses tiny needles to prick the skin and stimulate collagen production. As a result, you can enjoy firmer, smoother, and more toned skin. Microneedling is mainly used on the face but can also be used on other areas of the body. And best of all, it takes advantage of the body's natural healing response to provide long-lasting results. So if you're looking for a way to improve your appearance and boost your confidence, microneedling could be right. Trustworthy dermatologists are standing by, ready to help you achieve the beautiful, glowing, youthful-looking skin you've always wanted. So why wait?

Microneedling FAQ’s
Is microneedling better than Botox?
Microneedling is an excellent alternative to Botox because it addresses more than just wrinkles and lines. It's also less invasive, with fewer side effects that won't interfere with your daily life like paralyzing injections do!
Is one microneedling session enough?
The full benefits of this treatment can only be realized with at least 4 to 6 sessions. This gives your skin enough time for progress and renewal and the creation of new collagen that lasts forever! If you have deeper scarring or other hard-to-treat issues like these, it may require up to eight treatments.
Is microneedling treatment permanent?
Microneedling may not be a permanent solution for those looking to improve their skin because it is constantly changing, and each person's body has different Reactance levels.
What face looks like after microneedling?
Patients can expect their skin to look red immediately after a microneedling treatment. As part of the body's natural wound-healing response, the increased blood flow causes this vibrant coloration in some patients. Still, it doesn't affect others with different genes or whose melanin production rate does not match up properly with where they are donating energy from within themselves- a topic we'll cover more next time!

What should I tell my doctor before getting Microneedling?
Before you book your first microneedling appointment, you should discuss a few things with your doctor. First, you must let them know if you have any active skin infections or rashes. You'll also want to mention any allergies you have and any medications you're taking that might thin your blood. It's also important to inform your doctor of any history of keloid scarring. While microneedling is generally considered safe, it's always best to err on the side of caution and make sure your doctor is aware of any potential risks. Doing so can ensure that you'll get the most out of your treatment and achieve the best possible results.
What should I do before my Microneedling treatment?
Before the procedure, consider talking with the doctor about ways to prepare for your appointment. You may need to stop taking certain medications, such as ibuprofen and those for acne treatment (like Accutane), well before the procedure.
It's also recommended that you avoid using agents that may increase your skin's sensitivity. Your doctor may recommend you stop using topical retinoids and exfoliants before your microneedling appointment.
