Fine needles, read by the skin as a signal to repair.
Microneedling works by making many fine, controlled channels in the skin with a set of small needles. They are shallow, and the skin reads them as a signal to repair. In answering, it lays down fresh collagen and elastin, the structures that keep it smooth and firm. We pair the work with Ariessence PDGF, a growth factor signal applied while the skin is open and listening, which helps it heal more cleanly and remodel a little better as it rebuilds. Over the weeks that follow, texture softens, fine lines ease, and scarring can improve. Nothing is removed and nothing is burned. The skin rebuilds itself, a little more with each session.
The consultation
Before anything is decided, your provider studies your skin and the texture, fine lines, or early scarring you wish to soften, and confirms microneedling is the right gentle approach. Because it works best in a series, we plan, plainly, how many sessions your skin is likely to want.
The session
The skin is cleansed and a numbing cream applied for comfort. Your provider then passes the device across the skin in even strokes, making many fine, shallow channels, and adjusts the depth from one area to the next as the skin asks. Most people feel a light vibration and mild prickling, no more. It is comfortable, and quickly done.
The days that follow
For a day or two the skin looks flushed and feels warm, like a mild sunburn, perhaps a little rough or tight. This settles quickly, and most return to the day after. Keep it clean, moisturized, and protected from the sun, and set aside heavy makeup the first day. Texture and tone refine over the weeks that follow as collagen forms, deepening with each session of a series.
