What is Microneedling + HA?

Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is the use of a microscopic needle that punctures the dermis layer of the skin to stimulate a healing cascade, and triggers the production of new collagen.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in our body that binds to water and when paired with Microneedling can increase hydration and nutrients to the treated areas producing a smoother and more youthful look to your skin. Afterall, who doesn’t want more youthful looking skin?

What is the Treatment Like?

At your appointment, you will meet with one of our specialists who will go over your skin goals and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you. We use a special numbing cream that we will put on your treatment areas to perform this very effective, and non-surgical procedure that is essentially painless! Once the Hyaluronic Acid is topically applied, we carefully go over it with the Micro-needling device to penetrate your epithelial skin layer to:

• Gives a fullness and plumpness to the skin
• Soften wrinkles
• Soften scars
• Improve skin tone and texture
• Treats hyperpigmentation
• Softens the appearance of stretch marks

There is minimal, to no downtime and skin rejuvenation can be noticed within a few days. You can expect mild redness with the possibility of bruising and/or swelling at the treatment sites within the first 24-48 hours.

Some patients only require one treatment, but depending on your skin goals you may require 2-3 additional treatments. For optimal results, additional treatments are recommended 6-8 weeks apart with a recommended yearly treatment for maintenance to follow.

Who is a Good Candidate for Microneedling + HA?

This therapy is not recommended for anyone who has medical conditions that could worsen with Hyaluronic Acid, has an active infection, cancer, prone to keloid scarring, bleeding disorders, or are currently taking blood thinners.
