What is Microneedling?
When over-the-counter skin products are no longer proving effective but you don't want surgery, try nonsurgical treatments to rejuvenate the skin, like microneedling. Registered Nurse Karlene Ruiz is pleased to offer microneedling (collagen induction therapy) at her office in Springfield, MO. Microneedling uses several fine-gauge needles to safely and effectively make micro-injuries in the skin. The micro-injuries prompt the body's natural production of collagen and elastin, two nutrients that boost the appearance and health of your complexion. Often performed with other skin treatments, like vitamin serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling can help reduce scars, pores, and stretch marks. Make an appointment for a consultation at Aesthetic Med Studio to discover more about the results of microneedling and how to personalize the treatment for your needs and goals.
How Does Microneedling Work?
A microneedling treatment is performed in a private treatment room for around 30 – 60 minutes with numbing cream or local anesthesia if requested, but patients generally experience little or no pain and discomfort. The skin being treated will be cleansed before the microneedling handpiece is evenly passed over. After the microneedling is performed, a topical treatment like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or a vitamin-infused serum can be applied so the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin. A moisturizer will be massaged in, along with sun protection, since your skin will be more sensitive after the procedure.
