Microneedling

Microneedling

Microneedling, a popular non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure, offers patients a safe and effective method to improve skin texture, lessen the appearance of scars, and promote collagen production. At Oasis Aesthetics and Wellness in Pompano Beach, FL, we use the latest microneedling technology to help patients achieve smoother, healthier skin with minimal downtime. This article will provide an in-depth look at the benefits of microneedling, the procedure, and why it’s an ideal solution for various skin concerns.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling offers a range of benefits for patients seeking to refresh their skin. The treatment triggers the body’s natural healing process by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which will stimulate collagen and elastin production. Key benefits include:

  • Improved skin texture: Microneedling helps reduce rough skin texture, leaving your skin smoother and more even.
  • Reduction in lines and wrinkles: As collagen production increases, fine lines and wrinkles diminish, promoting youthful-looking skin.
  • Scar improvement: This procedure is particularly effective in reducing the visibility of acne and other types of scars.
  • Minimized pore size: The treatment helps reduce pore size, which can contribute to a more refined skin appearance.
  • Enhanced product absorption: After microneedling, the skin is more receptive to skincare products, which allows for deeper absorption of active ingredients.

The Microneedling Procedure

At Oasis Aesthetics and Wellness, the microneedling procedure is performed by highly trained professionals using advanced technology to ensure precision and safety.

Consultation:

Before the procedure, we conduct a thorough skin analysis to ensure microneedling is the right treatment for your skin concerns. We also discuss your skincare goals and create a personalized treatment plan.

Preparation:

The treatment site is cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied to reduce discomfort during the procedure.

Microneedling Process:

A specialized device with fine needles is gently passed over the skin, which creates tiny punctures. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process without causing damage to the skin’s outer layer.

Post-Treatment:

After the procedure, a soothing serum is applied to promote healing and reduce redness. You may experience slight redness or swelling, but will subside within a day or two.

The entire procedure will take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. For ideal results, multiple sessions may be recommended, spaced several weeks apart.

Before and Aftercare for Microneedling

Before Treatment:

  • Avoid being exposed in the sun for at least a week prior to the procedure.
  • Discontinue using any retinol or exfoliating products 48 hours before the session.
  • Stay hydrated and follow specific instructions provided during your consultation.

After Treatment:

  • Expect some redness and mild swelling, which should resolve within 24-48 hours.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and apply sunscreen as your skin will be more sensitive.
  • Do not use makeup for at least one day (24 hours) post-treatment to allow the skin to breathe.
