MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a revolutionary anti-aging technique that has been utilized in Europe for years and now it has hit the States like a storm. With minimal down time and huge results, it has become one of our most popular treatments here at AP Medical Spa.
The treatment time is about one hour. Mild redness and possible swelling may occur but only lasts up to 24-48 hours. Typically, we recommend a series of treatments.
WHY MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling is a procedure designed specifically to invoke the healing response in your skin by causing microtrauma in a targeted way.
Using a pen with a small head that contains 10+ needles, it vibrates at high power, and at a certain depth, to pierce the superficial layer of your skin thousands of times over a few seconds.
These small and controlled piercings go into your epidermis and even the upper layers of the dermis to stimulate the healing response in your skin which results in increased collagen formation and elastin formation.
But what does that mean for you?
It means your skin becomes more plump, more textured and smoother in the process.
But beyond these basic benefits, microneedling also offers several other VERY beneficial side effects that you can take advantage of.
These range from healing acne, reducing scar formation and even helping you look 5+ years younger!​
