What is microneedling?

Microneedling is an advanced medical aesthetics treatment that prompts your body’s innate healing response. It’s a valuable option for people who are sensitive to chemical peels or want to avoid light-based therapies like lasers or intense pulsed light (IPL).

South Lake Medical Spa uses the Morpheus8® microneedling system by InMode®. This platform incorporates radiofrequency energy into treatments to enhance effects further. 

As your practitioner moves the treatment handpiece over the surface of your skin, the head of the device moves multiple fine, sterile treatment needles in and out of your skin. Each of these needles creates a tiny channel into the deeper layers of your skin. 

The radiofrequency energy delivers heat into the channels. Your body perceives these punctures and heat as micro-injuries and rushes to launch a powerful healing response. 

Your skin creates new collagen and elastin cells, which smooth and plumps your skin from within. Circulation to the area improves, which aids in swift healing and nourishes the cells as they multiply. 

The face is the most common area for microneedling treatments, but you can also treat other areas of your body. 

What are some skin concerns that microneedling can improve?

Microneedling can address a wide range of common skin issues. Some of the conditions that respond well to this treatment include:

• Acne and acne scarring
• Lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Stretch marks
• Hyperpigmentation
• Loose or sagging skin

If you have more than one issue you’d like to treat, microneedling is a great option and offers a solid return on your skin care investment. 

Is microneedling painful?

Discomfort can vary during treatment. Some patients experience minimal pain, while others may experience more discomfort. After treatments, a degree of swelling, minor bleeding, and soreness are common, but your body responds quickly to heal.  

South Lake Medical Spa also offers microneedling using a less invasive treatment pen. This approach is an excellent fit for those who don’t need more advanced treatment or who have sensitive skin.  

It may take a series of treatments with some time between for healing to achieve the best possible results. While you may see some improvement within a few days after your initial session, the true results take weeks to develop.
