Microneedling, also referred to as “mechanical microneedling” or “traditional microneedling” is a form of collagen induction therapy without Radiofrequency (RF). It is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that improves various skin concerns using an FDA approved (SkinStylus™) device with tiny needles. This process creates tiny controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the skin’s natural healing response which leads to the production of new collagen, elastin, and capillary formation. It revitalizes the skin to smooth out fine lines, texture, scars, even tone, and improve elasticity. Think of it as a “workout for your skin”.
This procedure can easily be enhanced with use of potent serum boosters such as exosomes, biosomes, and PDRN which all help to accelerate healing and reverse photodamage.
While at-home microneedling devices exist, they come with risks. Any procedure that breaks the skin barrier should be performed in a sterilized environment to prevent infection, most accessible devices are not sterile or cannot achieve the same depth or effectiveness as in-office treatments.
