Micro-Needling alternative to laser treatments

Posted by commonwealthfacialplasticsurgery on

Micro-Needling is a new minimally-invasive procedure to obtain healthier looking skin with little to no downtime. The procedure involves creating hundreds of micro channels in the skin stimulating the bodies natural ability to repair itself. This scarless wound healing results in smoother, younger, healthier looking skin. Micro-Needling results are similar to laser treatments without the high cost or discomfort.

What does it do?

Micro needling reduces the appearance of:

  • Pore Size
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars (not recommended for inflamed acne)
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Skin textural issues

What to expect

Before the treatment a topical numbing cream is applied for 30 minutes. Our patients report having little to no discomfort during the treatment. After the procedure your skin may appear red and feel warm similar to the sensation of a sunburn. Redness typically subsides the same day for some and up to two days for others.

How many treatments do I need?

Micro-Needling is performed in a series of anywhere between 4-8 treatments spaced out every 4-6 weeks depending on the condition of your skin. Please call our office at (804) 378-7443 to schedule a consultation to see if Micro-Needling is the right treatment for you.
