How does MicroNeedling work?
What does the MicroNeedling involve?
Next, a Peptide fell is applied for a small pen with a sterile, disposable tip containing MicroNeedles to gently move over your skin to create tiny, evenly-spaced punctures. We are able to adjust both the depth and the angle of the needles.
Finally, once the treatment is over, we will apply complex repair cream or Vitamin-C complex to protect it during the healing process along with sunblock to protect the skin from sun damage.

What effects does the Medical MicroNeedling have on the skin?
- Improve skin texture and wrinkle appearance
- Regeneration of tissue
- Improve scars, particularly acne scars (as the depressed areas are elevated with new tissue layers)
- Enhance periphery skin
- Shrink pore size
- Improve stretch marks
How many treatments do I need and how often can Medical MicroNeedling procedures be repeated?
For maximum results, we recommend beginning with 4-6 treatments, spaced every 4-6 weeks. If you have scars that you would like to reduce, we suggest 6-8 treatments. Maintenance based treatments every 12 weeks post help reduce the signs of aging and continually stimulate the collagen production as we age keeping your skin youthful.
Generally, the number of treatments will depend on your unique response to the procedure, how much damage you have to begin with and how dramatic you would like the results to be. Results are usually visible after the first treatment.
How should I care for my skin after MicroNeedling?
You may experience dry skin after treatment, but this should dissipate within a few days.
We highly recommends the Rejuvapen post treatment kit to achieve maximum result.

What are pre-procedure instructions?
If you are having the eyeliner procedure and wear contact lenses bring the prescription glasses with you. You may return to wearing your contact lenses as soon as your eyes return to normal conditions. If you are using LATISSE® or any other eyelash growth serum it should be stopped two weeks before eyeliner procedure.
If you are having lip procedure done and have a history of cold sores or fever blisters, you must take an anti-viral drug such as Valtrex or Zovirax 5 days prior and 5 days after the treatment or as your physician prescribes.
Do not schedule a procedure right before or during menstruation because you may be more sensitive at that time.
It is important not to take Aspirin or any other blood thinners at least 10 days prior the procedure.
No Alcohol or Caffeine 24 hours prior the treatment.
Any tweezing or waxing, eyelash/eyebrow tinting should be done at least 48 hours before or two weeks after the procedure.
