The 5 W’s of Collagen Induction Therapy, A.K.A. Micro-needling

WHO CAN RECEIVE MICRO-NEEDLING TREATMENT?

Micro-needling is a safe and minimally-invasive way to address a wide array of skin concerns by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production process. Treatment works to restore collagen and effectively improve the skin’s appearance for all skin types. Furthermore, Micro-needling is a spectacular treatment option for those looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, stretch marks, and large pores.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING TREATMENT?

At SkinCenter, our skin care experts utilize the DermaL-pen for collagen induction via Micro-needling. The state-of-the-art pen design makes treatment incredibly precise and successful for a host of skin concerns—and treatment can be performed on all skin types!

Our skin experts will complete your Micro-needling treatment with the award-winning DermaL-pen—an aesthetic device used for effective non-ablative skin resurfacing. The DermaL-pen features a tip full of tiny needles that work to create minor, controlled traumas to the skin’s surface—triggering the body’s innate healing mechanisms and restoring collagen in the treatment zone. The result? A smoother, more radiant complexion and a more confident you!

Prior to treatment, our skin care specialists apply a topical numbing agent to maximize the patient’s comfort. We then apply nourishing products to the skin immediately after treatment is finished— as this is when the skin is most absorbent.

WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY TREATMENT?

We often recommend that our Westchester clients avoid booking Micro-needling treatments during the summer months. The reason being that frequent and more prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays can decrease treatment efficacy and slow the healing process. Additionally, warmer temperatures in the summer months lead to increased perspiration.This may exaggerate the sensitivity of skin post-procedure.

As a result, our experts recommend receiving Micro-needling treatment anytime from the month of September through the month of May.

WHERE ON THE BODY CAN MICRO-NEEDLING BE PERFORMED?  

The most common treatment area for Micro-needling is the face, for treating concerns like hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. Additionally, Micro-needling treatment is highly effective when used on the body to treat concerns like post-pregnancy stretch marks on the stomach, thighs and chest. Treatment is also effective for restoring collagen in the wake of acne scars, surgical scars, , and skin with uneven texture on the face and body.

 
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE SKINCENTER FOR MICRO-NEEDLING TREATMENT?

With all the hype about Micro-needling for collagen induction, there are a lot of at-home products available for use. So why should you leave this skin-rejuvenating treatment to the professionals? Great question. At-home Micro-needling devices are often of lesser quality. Administering “treatment” with subpar beauty tools results in subpar results. It’s that simple. Moreover, there’s no guarantee that any dermaroller or other Micro-needling device purchased on the internet is sterile, and oftentimes the materials are not medical-grade quality as advertised.
