What Is Microneedling?
If home skin care products are not giving you the results you want, but you aren't ready for any surgical procedures, consider minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatments, like microneedling. We are pleased to perform microneedling (collagen induction therapy) at Zula Modern Medspa.
Microneedling uses many fine-gauge needles to safely and effectively make micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin. The micro-injuries prompt the body's natural production of elastin and collagen, two nutrients that boost the appearance and health of your complexion. Often combined with serums, microneedling can help reduce stretch marks, scars, and pores. Set up a consultation at our office in Huntsville, AL for microneedling today.
What Can I Expect from Microneedling?
Microneedling is completed in a private treatment room in around 30 – 60 minutes with numbing cream or local anesthesia if preferred, but patients typically report mild or no pain and discomfort. The areas of skin being addressed will be cleaned before the handpiece is evenly passed over.
Once the microneedling is done, a treatment, like natural injection therapy or a vitamin-infused serum, may be applied so the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin. A moisturizer selected for your skin type will be massaged in along with sunscreen since your skin will be extra sensitive after the procedure.
