Renew at Blush Medical Spa & Laser

Looking for a way to improve your wrinkles and fine lines without any down time? Micro-needling is a quick and virtually painless procedure that will give you smoother, firmer, and younger looking skin.

Fractional Collagen Induction Therapy- also called Microneedling, is a remarkable, non-laser, non-surgical treatment that causes skin to stimulate collagen production and fresh, new tissue. Skin tightens; wrinkles, fine lines, scarring, and hyperpigmentation significantly diminish; pores become finer; and the overall health and circulation of the skin is improved. 

Microneedling uses very thin needles to create micro-injuries to the treated area. Your body responds to these wounds by jumpstarting its natural healing process and producing fresh collagen and elastin.

These proteins improve the appearance of surface imperfections to restore or maintain a youthful and smooth complexion. 

Benefits of MICRONEEDLING

- Can be performed on all skin types, including ethnic skin It can be used on all areas of the scalp, face, body including fragile skin like around eyes, mouth and neck

After the initial treatment, patients often notice that their skin has a healthy pink glow and that fine lines are diminished. Skin naturally takes roughly four weeks to synthesize new collagen, but it is not until about four months that patients can see the full effect of Microneedling treatments. 

It is suggested that patients receive a series of four to six treatments, spaced at least four weeks apart.

Can I ADD ON Anything To Make My Microneedling Treatment Work Better?

  YES! Stem cells have the ability to completely regenerate the skin. This a very attractive benefit to patients that want a treatment to improve the more severe signs of aging. While the skin is still fresh from micro-needling, stem-cells are applied to the skin as a topical treatment. The tiny “wounds” will soak up the stem-cells completely rather than attempting to soak into closed pores.   Since micro-needling allows products to better absorb, applying a serum immediately following treatment will be more effective and sink in deeper.

Typically the healing time depends on the severity of the damaged skin and the depth of the procedure. Most commonly there may be some redness that resembles mild sunburn. This may last for 2-4 days. Some patients may have the redness dissipate within 24 hours.  The skin will be pink or red in appearance for 24-48 hours, much like a sunburn with some minor bleeding, very occasionally some mild bruising and skin shedding a few days later to reveal the new fresh skin. The skin may also feel warm, tight and itchy for a short while as it regenerates and sheds. Generally the inflammatory reaction of the skin is short and fades significantly after a couple of days. Patients with a more sensitive skin type or older patients may take longer to fully recover.

Use tepid water to cleanse the face for the first 48 hours following treatment and drying the area gently without rubbing. Always use clean hands to avoid infection. Avoid applying makeup products for the first 24 hours following treatment. Your aesthetician will advise you on use of appropriate, gentle skincare following the treatment. It can take between 4-6 weeks before visible signs of skin regeneration are seen and the process will continue to evolve over the ensuing months providing a gradual improvement. Most patients notice the new changes starting within a week!

Microneedling is a treatment that can be used on all skin types.  

Microneedling:

• Minimizes Pore Size
• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
• Lifts, Tightens, and Rejuvenates skin, Builds New Collagen and Elastin
• Improves appearance of Acne Scarring
• Improves Hyperpigmentation
• Activates Cell Regeneration

Medical Microneedling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, back of hands, legs and face.)

Who is NOT a good candidate for Microneedling:

• Have used Accutane within the last 6 months or active acne
• Have open wounds, cuts or abrasions
• Have had radiation treatments to the skin within the last year or skin cancer
• Have any kind of current skin infection, condition, herpes simplex in the area to be treated
• Are pregnant or breast feeding
• Have history of keloid or hypertrophic scars or poor wound healing
• Raised surfaces
• Extreme Rosacea
• Eczema

Patients may notice healthier looking skin right away. However, keep in mind that dermal collagen remodeling occurs over time and it would not be realistic to expect damage that has happened to the skin over a long period of time to disappear right away. We suggest a series of 4-6 sessions depending on what the treatment is for. Individuals may not see final results until 3-6 months following the last appointment. Maintenance thru the years is suggested to maintain youthful glowing skin!
