What is Microneedling in Sarasota FL?

By causing “micro-injuries” to the skin, the body produces growth factors, signaling molecules, proteins, and cofactors that will stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. These are performed in a series of three with the option of adding several ‘Regenerative Biologic Solutions’ (including natural growth factors, fibrinous, collagens, signaling molecules, nutrients, and/or stem cells) to enhance results and accelerate healing. Rebuild your collagen naturally using the body’s genuine rejuvenation abilities with this revolutionary treatment.

The Benefits of Microneedling Include:

• Minimally invasive
• Highly effective delivery mechanism for natural growth factors
• 1600 micro-injuries per second
• Natural results
• Treats skin flaws such as scars, sunspots, and enlarged pores

We use Microneedling for conditions such as:

• Rejuvenation of the skin and hair.
• Stimulation of new collagen production.
• Age reversal / anti-aging effects.
• Treats sun damage.
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
• Minimizes enlarged pores.
• Diminishes hyperpigmentation.
• Softens scars and acne marks.

During the procedure, micro-perforations are made along the targeted area to activate the body’s natural wound- healing process. This allows the skin to rejuvenate while it makes new collagen, elastin, and fibrins. Microneedling can reduce moderate to severe acne scarring, tighten lax skin, smooth deep wrinkles, and enhance the skin’s texture.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling works by a couple of primary mechanisms.

1. It causes a local, controlled inflammatory response, i.e., it activates the immune system. The immune
   the system regulates healing and repair among other vital functions.
2. It attracts and activates fibroblasts. Fibroblasts, once activated, start to crank out new collagen proteins which are the primary structural proteins that comprise our body. This new collagen production helps to restore the skin’s structural integrity which also improves skin tone andamp; texture. It’s normal for the skin to shed collagen via age or injury. The biggest change that takes place in our skin as we age is the loss of collagen.
3. It activates local stem cells. Stem cells are everywhere in small numbers. Technically they exist in a ‘dormant’ stage called ‘pericytes’ that live on the outside of all blood vessels. Microneedling causes microtrauma that activates pericytes to become activated stem cells. Once activated, these stem cells begin assessing the damage and crank out a wide variety of signaling molecules to direct local cells to produce a variety of specialized proteins and other substances to repair the damage. In the case of micro needling, this leads to the production of a number of new skin cells as well.
4. It stimulates regeneration. Think of it like exercise for the skin, intense exercise!

Procedure for Microneedling

During the procedure, your practitioner will use a special micro needling pen to make thousands of tiny pricks in the areas being treated. The pinpricks are so small that you most likely won’t see them after the procedure. The micro needling device is moved uniformly over your skin to ensure the newly revitalized skin will be even.

Prior to starting, a topical anesthetic is used to minimize any discomfort as much as possible. This is done about 30-60 minutes prior to your treatment. The depth of the micro needling procedure is also modified based on your tolerance. The actual micro needling process takes roughly 30 minutes, depending upon the area to be treated.

Microneedling is most commonly used on your face to target:

• acne scars
• age spots and sunspots
• fine lines and wrinkles
• large pores
• various other kinds of marks
• minimized skin elasticity
• irregular skin tone

In addition to facial issues, microneedling is often used to treat stretch marks in other locations of the body. One study found that microneedling was effective for stretch marks on the thighs and also abdominal location when incorporated with fillers. It can also be used on the neck, chest, arms, and legs, however, it is mostly used on the face and scalp (in this case for hair restoration).

Getting ready for microneedling

Before the procedure, talk to your practitioner about ways you can prepare so you have the best possible outcome. You may need to stop taking certain medications, such as ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medications that blunt the healing or repair process. Some acne medications should also be discontinued well in advance of the procedure.

We may also recommend that you stop using topical retinoids beforehand too. Doing so may reduce the risk of certain side effects.

Side Effects

Like all cosmetic treatments, microneedling isn’t without risk. One of the most common negative effects is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure. You may also see inflammation for a few days. Call us if you observe extreme adverse effects, such as:

• bleeding
• bruising
• infection
• peeling

You may not be an ideal candidate for micro needling if you:

• are pregnant; it is a general rule to avoid any procedures while pregnant
• have certain skin diseases, such as psoriasis or eczema
• have open wounds
• have had radiation therapy recently
• have a history of bad skin scarring

What to expect after microneedling

Microneedling is only mildly invasive unlike plastic surgery, so the healing time is minimal. The majority of people need very little downtime if any at all. You might notice skin inflammation and redness within the first few days after the procedure. This is a natural response to the tiny “injuries” made by the needles in your skin. You can go back to work or school after the treatment if you’re comfortable. Some people apply concealed make-up throughout the first few days as the redness dissipates. Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is mandatory.

After microneedling, your skin works rather promptly to rejuvenate new tissue. Generally, you will see results within a few weeks. To maintain the results of your treatment, you might require multiple sessions as well as other complementary treatments. We will recommend the best plan of action based on your individual goals.

Radiofrequency and Microneedling

We combine microneedling and radiofrequency energy to remodel the subdermal adipose tissue to contour the face and body. This fractional treatment penetrates deep into the skin and fat for a smoother, tighter, and brighter appearance.

By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, collagen production will be stimulated in a natural anti-aging cascade. This is a great choice for those that are seeking to improve their appearance without surgical intervention.

BENEFITS OF THIS COMBINED PROCEDURE:

• Stimulates collagen production for tighter, brighter, and firmer skin.
• Diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Treat discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and scarring.
• Reduce the appearance of stretch marks and acne scars.
• Improve skin texture.

PRE AND POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Stop taking blood thinning products such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen one week prior to treatment.
• Discontinue any irritant type of topical products or treatments such as alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acid, Retinol, or Vitamin C at least 3 days prior to and post treatment.
• No prolonged sun exposure or tanning to areas being treated 2 weeks prior and post treatment.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT

Immediately following your treatment, you will look and feel like you have a MILD sunburn. Your skin may feel warm, flushed, and tighter than usual. The skin may lightly crust and/or peel for 3-7 days after treatment. There may be associated swelling and redness for 3-7 days post procedure.
