Find out how microneedling could improve your appearance.
Microneedling has become one of the most popular treatments offered by our Delray Beach, FL, dermatologist, Dr. Yvette Tivoli. That’s because this simple non-invasive treatment could reduce the appearance of everything from scars and wrinkles to stretch marks. While there are certainly many microneedling options on the market, turning to a dermatologist will ensure that you get the safe, effective results that you are looking for.
What is microneedling?
This cosmetic treatment involves the use of a small rolling device that contains very fine needles. When the roller is gently guided over the skin, it causes microscopic damage to the outer surface of the skin, which, in turn, stimulates the body’s natural healing response and increases the production of collagen. Collagen is what keeps skin tight and firm. Microneedling is popular because it offers our patients a minimally invasive way to improve their skin’s youthfulness.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
One of the benefits of turning to our Delray Beach, FL, skin doctor for microneedling is that you’ll find almost instant results. After treatment, the skin will already have a fullness and glow, and results don’t just stop there. Receiving regular microneedling sessions every few weeks can also drastically increase collagen and elastin production for up to six months after treatment.
Microneedling can offer the skin a variety of benefits, including:
- Reducing the appearance of acne scars
- Minimizing wrinkles and fine lines
- Tightening and firming skin
- Improving skin’s radiance and removing dead skin
In-office microneedling is incredibly efficient, taking anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Side effects are minimal, with most patients returning to work and their normal routine immediately after. Patients can also apply makeup within 24-48 hours after their microneedling session.
How many microneedling sessions are recommended?
This is something that we can discuss with you during your consultation, but the number of sessions will depend on the kind of issues that you wish to address and the severity of these problems. Most patients can benefit from anywhere from 3-5 sessions spaced about four weeks apart.
