Microneedling in Chicago, IL
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production.
How does microneedling work?
During a microneedling treatment, a device with fine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production. The treatment can be combined with serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to enhance results.
What can I expect during a microneedling treatment?
Before the treatment, a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. The microneedling device is then used to create micro-injuries across the treatment area. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes. You may experience redness and mild swelling immediately after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a few days.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling offers several benefits, including:
- Improved skin texture: Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
- Increased collagen production: Promotes the skin’s natural healing process.
- Enhanced absorption: Improves the effectiveness of skincare products.
- Minimal downtime: Recovery is quick, with minimal side effects.
Are there any side effects of microneedling?
Common side effects of microneedling include redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. It’s important to follow any post-treatment care instructions provided by your specialist to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
