What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that triggers collagen production in skin cells by means of a specialized microneedling device. Sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy, microneedling increases collagen production in the skin, which improves volume, elasticity, and firmness. In some cases, radiofrequency microneedling methods are used that help further smooth out the skin and provide more dramatic results.
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling creates micro-punctures in the skin; essentially tricking the body into thinking it has been wounded, which causes the body to create more collagen to treat the punctures, resulting in thicker, healthier skin in the treatment area.
What conditions can be treated with microneedling?
Microneedling in NYC can treat a variety of skin conditions, including:
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scars
- Stretch marks
- Acne and acne scars
- Hair loss
- Age spots
- Enlarged pores
- Rosacea
- Hyperpigmentation
How is the microneedling procedure performed?
After cleansing the skin, a cream is applied to keep the patient comfortable during the procedure. The microneedling device is rolled over the skin, which typically takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
What is the cost of microneedling?
