It’s easy to fall in love with microneedling – a simple treatment that reduces the signs of aging and revitalizes your skin’s health. Also known as collagen induction, microneedling unlocks your body’s ability to rejuvenate your skin for a healthier, more radiant complexion.
At Elite, we use the gold standard in microneedling – the SkinPen. The SkinPen is the first microneedling device approved by the FDA and is heralded for its strict safety protocols.
How does SkinPen microneedling work?
The SkinPen creates thousands of controlled micro channels on the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures trigger your body to create new collagen and elastin, which are essential for the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Skin is transformed with the new collagen and elastin production, which replaces old, damaged cells with new ones. This process is known as remodeling and results in many benefits for the skin, including:
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved radiance
- Improved appearance of acne scars and other skin trauma
- Reduced pore size
SkinPen treatments are a safe, year-round treatment for all skin types. Treatments can be performed on the face, neck, decollete and other areas of the body.
Microneedling is not only a great anti-aging tool but also an effective preventative one. It slows the aging process by helping your body maintain healthy collagen production levels to delay the signs of aging.
What can I expect during my SkinPen treatment?
When you arrive at our office, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area prior to the procedure. The actual procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on treatment areas. Most patients report feeling just a slight vibration during the treatment.
You may experience mild redness, tightness and swelling immediately following the treatment. Downtime will vary depending on the depth of the treatment and your individual skin type.
How many treatments will I need?
Collagen remodeling gradually increases over time following your treatment, meaning the results will continue to improve in the weeks and months following your treatment. Each patient is different, but for optimal results, we recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. We will develop a customized treatment plan for you based on your particular skin issue and goals.
Microneedling with Exosomes and PRP
We also offer microneedling with PRP and Exosomes for enhanced and longer-lasting results.
Our PRP facial utilizes platelet-rich plasma and microneedling to rejuvenate your skin. Derived from your blood, platelet-rich plasma is rich in growth factors and proteins that accelerate tissue rejuvenation and intensify collagen production. Learn more about our PRP Facial.
Topically applied exosomes also supercharge the benefits of microneedling. Exosomes are a popular add-on to many aesthetic treatments to effectively boost skin rejuvenation.
Exosomes contain proteins, growth factors and nucleic acids that help stimulate the regeneration of healthy skin cells, leading to improved skin texture, tone and overall vibrance. Learn more about our Exosome Regenerative Therapy.
