Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that effectively treats various skin conditions, such as acne scarring, surgical scars, and enlarged pores. It helps to rejuvenate and restore a youthful appearance to the skin.

At Forever 30 MedSpa in Prosper, Texas, we offer a personalized approach to skin rejuvenation. Our patients can expect to see an increase in elastin and collagen production, resulting in noticeable improvements to their skin concerns.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a skin treatment that can be used on the face and body. It effectively treats skin concerns such as:

• Acne
• Loose skin
• Cellulite
• Oversized pores
• Rosacea
• Scarring
• Skin pigmentation issues
• Stretch marks
• Fine wrinkles
• Alopecia

Benefits of Microneedling

The benefits of microneedling include enhancing the skin’s texture and appearance and reducing scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks. The treatment results in smoother, more vibrant skin while improving the skin from signs of aging.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling treatment involves using tiny, sterilized needles to make small holes in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen production and helping to reduce issues like scars, wrinkles, and dark spots.

Sometimes, microneedling is combined with other skin treatments for better results. These tiny holes also help serums penetrate deeper into the skin, giving more benefits.

Ideal Candidates for Microneedling

Microneedling is a good option for many patients. It works best for those without active skin infections or acne breakouts. It’s important for candidates to have realistic expectations and be ready to follow aftercare instructions.

However, it’s not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. Those who heal well and aren’t prone to keloid scarring are great candidates for microneedling.

Our team will provide guidance on preparation, the treatment itself, and aftercare. Based on your skin assessment, we’ll recommend the number of sessions necessary to achieve optimal results.

Aftercare

Patients can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment, as there is no recovery time needed. However, we will provide aftercare instructions to support the healing process. These instructions include wearing sunscreen and avoiding heavy exercise for at least two to three days.

It’s recommended to avoid hot showers and wearing makeup for one to two days after the treatment. Additionally, refrain from applying retinol or vitamin C serums for at least two days post-microneedling.

Some temporary side effects like swelling, redness, irritation, and discomfort may occur after the treatment. These symptoms typically subside within two days. Using an ice pack can help alleviate these minor discomforts.
