Understanding How Microneedling Works

Microneedling promotes collagen production in your skin. Utilizing the advanced Rejuvapen technology, this procedure employs nine microneedles in a small cartridge to create a series of invisible, vertical micro-perforations in the outer layer of your skin.

When these needles touch the skin, they generate tiny punctures on the surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and encouraging collagen production without harming the surrounding healthy tissue. The newly formed collagen enhances your skin’s elasticity and texture while reducing fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing acne scars, and improving overall appearance.

Microneedling Benefits

Microneedling promotes your skin’s natural healing processes, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and minor scars. This non-invasive treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in a firmer and more revitalized complexion. Common benefits of microneedling include:

  • Reduced signs of aging
  • Fewer wrinkles and fine lines
  • Smoother minor acne scars
  • Decreased sun damage
  • Smaller pore size
  • Hydration and enhancement of treatment areas
  • Minimal downtime

Your Experience During Treatment

After thoroughly cleansing the skin, your provider will gently glide a handheld device over the treatment area. Microneedling utilizes numerous tiny needles that penetrate the skin, creating small channels that the body interprets as wounds. This triggers a healing response, leading to increased collagen production to repair the skin. Additionally, the process enhances the texture of the skin surrounding each channel. Depending on your individual requirements, microneedling sessions generally last around 60 minutes.

Post-Procedure Care Recovery and Results

After microneedling in Cape Girardeau, some clients may notice mild tenderness, redness, and swelling in their treatment areas, resembling the effects of a mild sunburn. These side effects usually subside within a few hours. You'll see results such as increased brightness, improved skin tone, smaller pores, reduced acne scarring, and a more radiant complexion, with noticeable changes appearing within just a few days post-treatment. After your session, you can immediately return to your usual daily activities, but we advise avoiding prolonged sun exposure for one to two weeks afterward.

Are there any side effects to microneedling?

Microneedling is a surface treatment that generally results in minimal side effects. You might experience mild tenderness, redness, and swelling in the treated areas, but these effects usually subside within a few hours post-procedure.

How long will my results last?

The effects of microneedling are not permanent, as our skin cells typically regenerate every 30 days. For the best results, we recommend scheduling follow-up treatments every six to eight weeks after achieving your desired skin goals.

How soon will I see results after my microneedling procedure?

Many clients notice visible results right after their initial microneedling sessions. However, we suggest a series of three to five treatments spaced four weeks apart for optimal outcomes. Once you reach your target results, maintenance treatments every six to eight weeks are recommended.

Are microneedling treatments painful?

Since microneedling targets the surface layers of the skin, most clients report minimal to no pain. You may experience slight tenderness, redness, and swelling for a few hours after the procedure. To enhance your comfort, your provider can apply a topical numbing cream before starting the treatment.
