Complimentary Consultation Available for Those New to Microneedling
Microneedling works by stimulating your body to produce collagen and in effect repair damaged skin. This minimally invasive procedure begins with dermaplaning and involves the application of very fine needles into the skin. These fractional or superficial “pin-prick” insertions stimulate the skin, produce collagen and as a result can repair signs of aging and skin issues such as sun damage.
Microneedling can be a highly effective treatment for a multitude of skin issues and can broadly be used on a variety of skin tones, types and colors. Elan does recommend a pre-treatment consultation if you are considering microneedling for the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does microneedling hurt?
We apply a topical numbing cream prior to treatment. Most describe only mild discomfort during the procedure. There can be some sensitivity in the upper lip region and forehead, but this quickly subsides. Redness, and in very few cases, swelling may occur post treatment, but these skin sensitivities typically relieve themselves within 24 hours.
What are the primary benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling can be an effective treatment for a number of skin issues including reducing the signs of aging, smoothing scars, reducing the appearance of sun damage and general improvements to your skin’s health through the induction of collagen production.
How many treatments are required?
The number of treatments depends on individual goals and the area being targeted. Elan believes best results are seen following 3 or more treatments in most cases with follow up treatments once or twice a year.
