Microneedling is a fairly new procedure in the world of cosmetic treatment. It is recommended for reducing acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and other facial cosmetic features that you are looking to improve. It is a safe procedure that is effective on almost all types of skin. Very few scenarios would make you an unfit candidate for this procedure. Most individuals can reap the benefits of this exceptional treatment. Dr. Yvette Tivoli from Atlantic Derm wants to get you looking and feeling your best. One way she accomplishes this goal is by microneedling in Delray Beach, FL. Read on to learn a bit more about this amazing procedure.
What Does Microneedling Consist Of?
Microneedling is painless and safe. The goal of this procedure is to make your skin smoother and more youthful-looking. The technique itself involves moving a handheld pen-like device with tiny needles on it around the areas of the skin being treated. This creates micro-sized punctures in the skin.
That description of microneedling therapy may seem counterintuitive at first. But believe us, it's good! The minuscule puncture wounds produced by the microneedles end up stimulating the natural healing process of the body. The outcome is new collagen and elastin growth, resulting in smoother, more elastic, and fuller-looking skin. Additional benefits of microneedling in Delray Beach, FL are:
- Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
- Reduced appearance of scarring
- Reduces damage and discoloration from the sun
- Increases skin absorption of skincare products
- Shrinks pores
- Reduces rosacea
Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Almost anyone and everyone! Individuals seeking treatment for blemishes on the surface of the skin make ideal candidates. These imperfections may be in the form of scarring from acne, wrinkles, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and enlarged pores. Regarding scarring, it is not limited to acne. Scars can occur from previous illnesses or injuries and microneedling is a great option for keloid or hypertrophic scarring.
If you are unsure of specifically what details of your skin could use an upgrade, that's ok too! Microneedling is a great option for those seeking an overall anti-aging treatment.
Those who are pregnant, nursing, or currently fighting an active acne infection should postpone having this procedure done.
What Should I Consider Before Choosing This Treatment?
As with any cosmetic procedure, a person with good overall health will yield the best results. It is
important to share a thorough health history with Dr. Tivoli, which helps her give post-procedure care recommendations to ensure the best outcome.
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive, time-effective treatment that does not require a long recovery period. The entire procedure usually takes only 30-60 minutes on an outpatient basis.
