Cosmetic procedures are not limited to those with aging skin. Microneedling is one procedure that can help men and women address cosmetic concerns at any age. Discover how microneedling in Murfreesboro can help address your cosmetic concerns and meet your aesthetic goals by contacting our Med Spa team.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure during which our skilled medical practitioner uses a handheld device to make tiny micro-injuries in the top layer of the skin. The process stimulates healing and the production of collagen and elastin.
These are two structural proteins that are responsible for keeping your skin firm and elastic. Most people in Murfreesboro choose microneedling for their face, but the procedure can be performed on nearly any area of the body.
Microneedling causes mechanical damage to the skin to improve the look and texture after healing. During microneedling, our team uses tiny sterilized needles, which allow the treatment to go deeper into the skin and may help with problems below the surface, such as scar tissue. Longer needles are used for scar tissue or pock marks from acne. We may use micro-needling to deliver serums under the skin to speed collagen production.
Men and women who are good candidates for microneedling have skin issues they want to address and have the time for recovery. Microneedling is not a quick fix since your body needs time to heal and begin producing collagen. Depending on the depth of your treatment, healing can take five to seven days.
Skin issues that are commonly addressed with microneedling include large pores, reduced skin elasticity, sun damage, skin discoloration, uneven skin tone, scars, stretch marks, or fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling also helps people with hyperhidrosis or alopecia areata.
While microneedling is useful for a wide variety of conditions, it may not be good for everyone in Murfreesboro. People who have acne or are taking medication for acne may not get their desired results. People who have frequent skin rashes, are on anticoagulants, are on chemotherapy or radiation for cancer, or have a tendency to develop keloid scar tissue are not good candidates for microneedling. People with eczema or psoriasis and those with moles and skin tags should not have microneedling over the area where these conditions exist.
Before the procedure, our team will examine your skin, review your health history, and discuss your cosmetic concerns. During the appointment, a numbing cream or ointment is applied to the skin roughly 30 to 45 minutes before the procedure. Once your skin is sufficiently numbed, the provider uses a handheld electric tool with tiny, sterilized needles that prick the skin.
During the process, you may feel a scratching sensation or warmth develop over your skin. The length of the procedure depends on the size of the area that is being treated. Most procedures usually require less than one hour.
This is an outpatient procedure, and you can go home immediately. An ice pack can help reduce irritation or any discomfort you might have. It is crucial to stay out of the sun until the skin has healed completely.
The inflammatory process of healing is what stimulates your skin to produce new collagen. People in Murfreesboro find microneedling typically requires three to five treatments to get the desired results. This series of sessions increases the production of collagen and elastin and also helps the outer layer of the skin become thicker and firmer. There are a few temporary side effects, including short-term redness and swelling that can last for a couple of days.
Microneedling can help address your cosmetic concerns using a minimally invasive procedure that does not require months of downtime. When it is time to refresh your skin, our team is here to help. Call today to schedule your consultation to discuss the benefits of microneedling in Murfreesboro.
