Rejuvenate and Revive

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a procedure aimed at promoting cell turnover as well as collagen and elastin formation within your dermis. This tool provides a controlled vertical skin injury through the use of a contained microarray array of needles. The surface is left largely intact, while the depth of treatment is paramount when tailoring the treatment plan to meet your goals. The skin injury and resulting stimulation of wound healing leads to an increase in the extracellular matrix and fibroblast activity. Your skin initially looks better through immediate edema or swelling, followed by the desired endpoint of tightening due to an increase and improvement in collagen. Ultimately, this supports skin health and appearance through the renewal of a more resilient, youthful skin architecture.

You may be put off by the term "microneedling" because of the associated use of needles.

We also provide comfort measures and find it to be a well-tolerated procedure for most patients. If you are considering this procedure and would like to sit down for a chat, we are happy to help.

Microneedling Preparation and Procedure

During a microneedling treatment, your practitioner will use a microneedling device, a pen-like tool with an array of fine needles on its surface, to create tiny punctures in the skin. The needles can range in size from 0.5 to 3 millimeters in length, depending on the specific treatment and the area being treated. The device is moved over the skin in a stamping motion, creating a grid-like pattern of micro-injuries. Once completed post-procedure instructions are reviewed, and ointment is applied prior to leaving

Microneedling Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

After the treatment your skin may appear red and slightly swollen or have pinpoint bleeding. These effects usually resolve quickly, within hours to a few days depending on the depth of treatment.

It is essential to follow the instructions provided by Brobst Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, which will include avoiding sun exposure, using an ointment or moisturizer, and avoiding certain skin care products for a few days.

You should also avoid picking at or scratching the treated area. We are here to answer questions during the recovery period, but it is crucial to follow the aftercare instructions to minimize the risk of infection and other complications. Most people with lighter treatments return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment, although avoiding strenuous exercise or activities that may cause sweating for a few days is generally recommended. Multiple sessions are frequently utilized to achieve your desired results. The frequency and number of treatments we decide upon will depend on your skin concerns. In general, we wait four to six weeks between treatments during the initial 6-month corrective phase to allow the skin to heal and recover fully. However, the skin's healing process may vary from person to person, and we will make changes as indicated.

The frequency of our microneedling maintenance treatments depends on what we are treating, what kind of environmental factors are contributing to skin damage, and how well the skin is cared for afterward. Some people benefit from more frequent treatments, while others may only need a treatment done every 6 - 12 months for maintenance.
