Microneedling Treatment

Although the treatment is safe for all skin types, you may be unable to have it if you have certain medical issues. Active acne vulgaris, rosacea, active skin infections, elevated keloid scars, actinic keratosis, and various non-melanoma and melanoma skin malignancies, eczema, psoriasis, sebaceous hyperplasia, and open wounds are only a few examples.

Before you begin therapy, your practitioner will discuss any health issues you may have.

Your skin cells are changing all the time. The skin cells need to fix themselves. That's where ONTOGENY C comes in. Their scientists carefully culture human stem cells and then extract their potent factors, which help your skin replace and boost the factors that decrease with age. This helps protect your skin from old age and fights against the signs of aging.

As we age, our skin produces fewer cytokines and growth factors. This is what helps your skin stay healthy and look youthful. ONTOGENY C scientists found a way to get these powerful missing factors from human stem cells. By resupplying your skin with these powerful missing factors, ONTOGENY C promotes cell renewal, boosts the production of collagen and elastin, restores aging cells, and ultimately provides you with more youthful-looking skin.

• Formulated with the growth factors, polypeptide complexes, and cytokines that come from human stem cells, this solution has amazing results.

• It is packed with a powerful amount of growth factors and copper peptides.

• A breakthrough blend of regenerative cytokines, polypeptide complexes, and potent human GFs.

Microneedling is not a new concept; it has been around since the 1950s. The concept is based on the skin's capacity to regenerate itself after being damaged physically.

Thousands of minute incisions are produced in the skin using incredibly accurate, sterilized needles. The skin disperses old injured connective tissue and replaces it with new connective tissue as soon as the injury occurs.

By producing micro "injuries" in the skin, RP2 micro needling enables for the regulated induction of the skin's self-repair system, which prompts new collagen production without the danger of permanent scarring. The outcome is skin that is smoother, younger-looking, and scars/stretch marks that are less visible.

Depending on the desired treatment and anatomical site, the procedure is usually done within 60 minutes. Before we obtain your consent, Kim will explain the procedure, its risks and benefits, and will lead you through a comprehensive skin consultation.

A topical anesthetic (in the form of a cream) is administered to your skin before the treatment begins. This numbs your skin and keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure.

After the area has been numbed, Kim will slide the device over your skin gently to puncture the epidermis layers and create minute sub-cutaneous injuries. These microscopic wounds heal in 3-5 minutes, yet it's enough to trigger new collagen deposition that can last up to a year. You could feel some discomfort, especially around your eyes and other sensitive regions of your face.

Following the procedure, your skin will show signs of redness or erythema, comparable to a mild sunburn. There might be some minor swelling. The redness and swelling will start to go down 24-48 hours following the treatment. By day 3, the erythema and swelling will have subsided, and the skin takes on a pink color, leaving little trace of the procedure.

During the first three days, you will also notice some skin tightness, dryness, and minor sensitivity to touch on the treated regions. This diminishes significantly after the treatment and over the next 2-3 days. Kim  will suggest rescue skincare to assist soothe and protect the skin while also enhancing the results. We always recommend using sunscreen after treatment.

No, as long as the skin is protected against UV rays after the treatment and for the first 7-10 days with a sunscreen. Overexposure to UV rays after microneedling may result in hyperpigmentation, however the risk is quite low (less than 3 percent ).

If you have a history of hyperpigmentation, you must inform your practitioner before beginning therapy.

Don't be scared by the name. Just because it involves needles doesn't mean it will be painful. A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area. 

The anesthetic cream numbs the skin, making the treatment very comfortable and painless. You may feel some sensitivity, especially around your eyes.

To obtain the best results, we recommend a series of 3-5 treatments every 4 weeks. As your skin's matrix regrows new collagen, you may expect to notice improvements for up to 6-8 months following the last treatment.

The results vary from person to person depending on how your skin reacts to the procedure. The first thing you'll notice following the treatment is the skin's instant dewiness, firmness, and plumpness. The most significant outcomes, however, will not be noticeable for four to six weeks following treatment.

Most people get the best benefits from 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Deeper acne scars or wrinkles may require additional treatments.

After 2-3 days, you may resume your regular makeup regimen, and your skin will look practically normal. However, you must continue to wear a high factor sunscreen and any topical treatments recommended by your practitioner.

Kim will address any concerns you have about returning to your regular makeup regimen.
