Winter Park Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a rejuvenation technique that safely promotes collagen growth for healthier, more youthful-looking skin. We use a TK DEVICE, which resembles a typical pen. Its sterile, single-use tip contains 12 extraordinarily small “micro-needles.” that create very small “micro-injuries” as the pen sweeps across your skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response, which increases the production of collagen and elastin.
Microneedling is extremely effective in treating:
- Large or visible pores
- Actinic keratoses, (potentially pre-cancerous rough patches on skin)
- Loose or lax skin
- Aging caused by unprotected sun exposure
- Stretch marks
- Uneven or blotchy skin tone
- Acne, injury, and surgical scars
- Fine lines and some deeper wrinkles
The result is improved skin tone, texture, and a better overall complexion. Eclipse MicroPen is a safe treatment for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
Best Candidates:
Microneedling is most often used to address skin blemishes and signs of aging (wrinkles, lines, scarring, and more) without surgery. Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, arms and décolleté. Since microneedling allows improved absorption of creams, gels, and serums, we can also create a customized skin regime to use after the treatment.
What to Expect:
Prior to the procedure, the treated area is cleaned and a thin layer of a topical gel is applied to numb the skin. We then run the micropen across the treatment area. You may feel a prickling sensation as the micropen creates tiny holes, known as “microchannels,” which will close almost immediately, triggering a healing response. This results in renewed skin, including a thickened dermis, which will soften the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and scars. The procedure takes around thirty minutes to an hour to complete. You can expect the treated area to appear bright red, similar to a sunburn, lasting from a day to up to a week.
Other Considerations:
After the procedure, your skin may be red and swollen. Then, over the course of a few weeks, you will see significant improvements in skin’s color, tone, and texture as well as a reduction of lines and wrinkles. Microneedling is also effective in diminishing acne and traumatic scars and stretch marks. A patient’s appearance can continue to improve up to six months following initial treatment. While some patients benefit from a single treatment, two to three treatments are advised to get the best possible results.
