A Closer Look at Micro-Needling

Posted February 19, 2018 in Microneedling

Everyone is always searching for new and better ways to keep their skin looking youthful and their complexion glowing. From expensive skin creams to chemical peels, and laser treatments to cosmetic surgery, the quest to maintaining youthfulness is fully underway and gaining in popularity every day. With this heightened desire, additional ways to achieve glowing and healthy skin are becoming more and more popular. One of these ways is through a process known as micro-needling.

What Is Micro-Needling?

Micro-needling is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure used to treat fine lines and acne scars while improving the overall texture, tone, and color of your skin.  It is known as “Collagen Induction Therapy.” While this is a procedure that has existed and been performed for decades, micro-needling has seen a resurgence in popularity over the recent years. Micro-needling involves creating tiny puncture wounds in the top layer of your skin. As your body attempts to heal these wounds, new skin cells and higher amounts of collagen and elastin are produced. Collagen and elastin give your skin its youthful and improved tone and texture. This procedure causes your skin to shrink and tighten and can smooth wrinkles, diminish the appearance of scarring, and lessen pore size.

Eclipse MicroPen® Elite

The Eclipse MicroPen® Elite allows you to achieve the best quality and appearance of your skin. With MicroPen® treatments, your skin will thicken, your wrinkles will lessen, and your skin’s texture will glow. During this procedure, a topical gel is applied that will allow the MicroPen® to glide smoothly and comfortably along the treatment area to create the superficial micro-injuries. Treatments are customizable for you and your skin concerns and can be applied to the face, neck, arms, hands, legs, stomach, and back. Treatments are fast and safe for almost all skin types, and results will begin to become apparent immediately after the procedure. Full results can typically be seen within 30 days and can last up to one year. Most patients undergo a series of three to four treatments spaced about one month apart. The Eclipse MicroPen® Elite is not surgery or a laser; therefore, this procedure requires less downtime than that of surgery or laser treatments. Patients often experience some redness in the first 24 hours, but this dissipates quickly.
