Microneedling Q&A

​

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a medical aesthetics treatment that uses the power of your body’s healing abilities to create beautiful improvements in your skin. It’s a perfect option for people who want to treat two or more skin issues, and it can save you time and money compared to having multiple individual treatments.

​

Microneedling works by using a handheld device covered in tiny sterile needles to create thousands of minuscule punctures into the deeper layers of your skin. Your body responds to each of these tiny channels as a microinjury and rushes to launch a healing response.  

New blood vessels boost circulation to the area. New collagen cells smooth and plump skin. Without harsh chemicals or laser therapy, the hastened cellular turnover can even improve areas of hyperpigmentation and break down scar tissue.  

 

What kinds of skin conditions can microneedling treat?

The versatility of microneedling is part of why this treatment is so popular. Some of the common skin issues microneedling works to improve include:

• Acne

• Acne scarring

• Enlarged pores

• Sun spots

• Age spots

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Loose or sagging skin

Although your skin will look better after just one treatment, many people need a series of treatments to achieve optimal effects.    

 

IV Hydration Lounge and Med Spa also offers the chance to incorporate platelet-rich plasma into microneedling treatments. This process uses a small sample of your blood to create a powerful healing solution, accelerating new skin growth and promoting swift healing. 

 

Is microneedling painful?

All this talk of microinjuries and needles may lead you to believe that microneedling is painful. In reality, most people find these treatments easy to tolerate.

​

A numbing cream reduces sensation in the treatment area. You may feel mild stinging or burning, but no significant pain or discomfort exists.    

 

A degree of swelling and some mild bruising or bleeding is normal in the hours after microneedling. Your body quickly adjusts, and your results develop over the coming days and weeks.    

 

If you’re ready to try this innovative and all-natural treatment, call IV Hydration Lounge and Med Spa to book a consultation. Online scheduling is also an option and takes very little time to complete.
