Microneedling

This treatment is an excellent option to treat a variety of skin issues and is minimally invasive with a short recovery time. You may have already done some research on Google or social media, but don’t be scared off by the images. This procedure is completely safe and relatively painless thanks to the topical numbing cream that will be used. It is also possible to combine microneedling with other topical formulas in order to achieve even greater results due to the fact that your skin is able to take in so much more after a treatment. Ask our extremely knowledgeable professionals at MJ Health Medical Spa about your options, it is our goal to help you get the most out of your treatments and to have you leave feeling great about yourself.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is an FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles using a pen-like device. The agitation of the skin causes your body to react by creating more collagen, this helps to heal your skin, making it look and feel younger and smoother. In the case of scar reduction, the needles actually work to break down the more hardened scar tissue and encourage the skin to rebuild itself in a more even way.

Is Microneedling right for me?

Microneedling is most commonly used on the face but can be used on other parts of the body to treat issues such as stretch marks. The benefits of microneedling are commonly sought after to treat these concerns: 

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduced skin elasticity
  • Enlarged pores
  • Hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone
  • Sun damage
  • Hair loss
  • Stretch marks

If any of these skin issues have been troubling you, then microneedling may be right for you. Our talented and experienced professionals at MJHealth Medical Spa can help guide you to the treatment plan that is right for you to help you reach your skin goals. 

When can I expect to see results?

This all depends on what issue you are using microneedling to combat. You may, however, notice a difference right after your first session. Your skin will likely look more plump after your session, giving you a radiant and youthful look. To see the full effects of the increased collagen, it can take from six to eight weeks. Depending on what you are using microneedling to correct, it is possible we will recommend multiple sessions to see full results.

Of course every person is different, but at MJHealth Medical Spa, we are passionate about getting our clients the optimal results they are looking for, so we will tailor a treatment that is right for you and your skin to help you achieve the results you want.

Why choose microneedling over other options?

Microneedling works to correct similar skin issues and concerns as chemical peels and laser treatments do. All three are great options, but you might find that microneedling suits your busy schedule better. Chemical peels usually require multiple treatments in order to see the full results, and can have a bit longer recovery time when compared to microneedling. Laser treatments can have a longer recovery time, but on the other hand, usually require fewer treatments and less time to see the full results. Also, certain laser treatments may not work as well with darker skin tones, so if you have darker skin, you may achieve better results from microneedling. 

Although you will see results from whatever method you decide on, it all comes down mostly to the recovery time. Every person is different in the way they heal, so choosing the method that is right for you is a personal choice. You know your body best, and our talented professionals at MJHealth Medical Spa are here to help you make an informed decision.
