At Rejuva, we understand the importance of radiant, youthful skin. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer our signature microneedling services to help you achieve your skincare goals.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling involves using fine, sterile needles to create tiny punctures, or micro-injuries, in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production, which helps to improve the skin’s texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

The Microneedling Process:

1. Consultation: Before the procedure, a consultation with a skincare professional is conducted to assess the skin and determine if microneedling is appropriate for the individual’s skin concerns.

2. Preparation:

Cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, and impurities.
Numbing Cream: A topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

3. Microneedling:

Treatment:

Device: A microneedling device, such as a dermaroller or a dermapen, equipped with fine needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.
Technique: The device is gently moved over the skin in a systematic pattern, ensuring that the entire treatment area is covered. The depth of needle penetration can be adjusted based on the specific skin concern and the area being treated.

4. Post-Treatment Care:

Soothing Serum: After the procedure, a soothing serum or mask is often applied to help calm the skin and promote healing.
Sun Protection: It is essential to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin from UV damage, as it will be more sensitive post-treatment.

Benefits of Microneedling:

Improves Skin Texture: Microneedling helps to smooth out rough skin and improve overall texture.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The increased collagen production helps to plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Minimizes Scars: Microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scarring by promoting skin regeneration.
Evens Skin Tone: It can help reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage, resulting in a more even skin tone.
Enhances Product Absorption: The micro-channels created during the procedure allow for better absorption of skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.

What to Expect:

During Treatment: Patients may feel a mild pricking sensation, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated, especially with the use of a numbing cream.
After Treatment: The skin may be red and slightly swollen for a few days, similar to a mild sunburn. There may also be some minor pinpoint bleeding and peeling.
Recovery: Most patients can return to their normal activities within 24-48 hours. Full recovery and optimal results typically take a few weeks as the skin heals and regenerates.
Frequency of Treatments:
Initial Series: For best results, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart is often recommended.
Maintenance: To maintain the benefits, periodic maintenance treatments may be suggested every 6-12 months.

Microneedling is a versatile and effective treatment for various skin concerns, offering a natural way to rejuvenate the skin by harnessing the body’s own healing processes. As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified professional to determine if microneedling is the right option for your skin needs
