Microneedling performed by an experienced practitioner can be highly effective at treating stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, as well as enlarged pores. Furthermore, it increases skin elasticity by inducing new collagen formation.
Dr. Green offers non-invasive cosmetic treatments at Marmur Medical, NYC, such as microneedling with PRP, to produce stunning results.
Treatment of Acne Scars
When you suffer from acne scars, whether pitted spots or hyperpigmentation, microneedling can dramatically diminish their appearance, also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses a mechanized device called a derma pen to make thousands of microneedle punctures in the outer layers of skin at one time – with your physician carefully controlling depth, spacing, frequency, and pattern to address every area of concern.
Beginning the procedure with topical anesthetic application to ensure maximum comfort, the derma pen will then use needle holes in your skin to produce tiny puncture wounds that cause fresh elastin and collagen production to occur, ultimately diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, sun damage, blemishes, and scars.
After your microneedling treatment, you may experience redness similar to mild sunburn that will begin to diminish within one to two weeks; your doctor can provide healing ointments or makeup that can cover up any remaining pinkness.
Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, chest, arms, and legs to diminish acne scars, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and other skin texture imperfections. Furthermore, it can help treat signs of aging such as fine lines and, wrinkles, skin laxity in patients of all ages and skin colors, fine lines and wrinkles, and laxity in skin laxity in all patients regardless of skin tone or age. Combined with other rejuvenation therapies like lasers for enhanced results.
Treatment of Hyperpigmentation
Microneedling near me offers impressive results in treating sun damage, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks. This cosmetic innovation utilizes a mechanical device with needles to encourage your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, two substances essential to youthful-looking skin. This procedure is commonly known as CIT (collagen induction therapy).
Microneedling in New York involves having a doctor gently prick your treatment area with a handheld device fitted with fine needle pens, creating microchannels in your skin that stimulate collagen and elastin production by the body, as well as helping to minimize pores while improving texture and tone of skin. Many choose microneedling for its anti-ageing and rejuvenative benefits as part of an overall anti-ageing and rejuvenative regimen.
Many patients combine traditional microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for even more excellent results. PRP utilizes the concept that your blood contains valuable growth factors that promote wound healing. When combined, microneedling with PRP stimulates skin production of new cells and elastin production, reducing scarring, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
After your skin has fully recovered from microneedling, you can immediately resume your usual skincare regimen. Your physician may suggest adding vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidant-rich serums for further enhancement. She’ll also give guidance regarding at-home care to maintain lasting results.
Microneedling can be an extremely effective treatment for sun damage, scars, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, pore size reduction, and skin tightening; however, it doesn’t work as effectively on more severe concerns such as deep facial lines and wrinkles. When this is the case, we may recommend Botox injections in NYC to relax overactive muscles around frown lines and crow’s feet and dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm fillers to restore volume to the face while shaping features accordingly.
Treatment of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Micro-needling is a fantastic solution to many patients’ fine lines and wrinkles, helping break down scar tissue while stimulating new cell production and giving your skin a renewed appearance. Combined with other procedures like PRP therapy or hyaluronic acid injections, this treatment maximizes its anti-aging benefits even further.
Your cosmetic technician will use a specially designed stylus that gently glides over the face’s pores. This stylus contains several tiny needles lined up together and coated in soothing gel to reduce abrasion and lubricate its hands – much like using an over-the-counter scrub or exfoliator; most patients find this process very relaxing, returning immediately back to work or other activities after treatment has concluded.
Once treated, the skin may look slightly red like it has been exposed to sunlight; this is normal and will resolve quickly with healing ointments or makeup to mask any remaining pinkness. For optimal results, it is essential to avoid direct sunlight for several days following treatment and wear sunscreen every time you step outside.
Contact our clinic if you seek relief from acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, or loose skin laxity in New York. The first step will involve meeting Dr. Michele Green at her Upper East Side office for an in-depth consultation session to review your aesthetic goals and address any queries or concerns that arise during this process. She will also assess your skin health before discussing aftercare steps with you.
Treatment of Stretch Marks
Microneedling can help treat acne scars, fine lines, large pores, or stretch marks with minimal side effects and downtime. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this minimally invasive cosmetic procedure stimulates your body’s natural healing response through micro-injuries caused by tiny needles entering the surface skin layer to cause micro-injuries that release growth factors for tissue regeneration. Microneedling treatment is safe for all skin types with minimal side effects or downtime – multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
Microneedling should only be performed under sterile conditions in a medical office setting to avoid risking hyperpigmentation or scarring; patients must follow a skincare regimen designed to shield their skin from UV rays before and post-microneedling sessions; additionally, those suffering from keloid scars or psorias should consult a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green in NYC before beginning treatments with microneedling treatments.
Microneedling can be combined with other non-invasive cosmetic procedures to give maximum rejuvenation and tightening effects on the skin. When combined, these methods produce optimal results for rejuvenating and tightening.
RF (radio frequency) microneedling offers additional benefits for diminishing stretch mark appearance. It produces heat that triggers collagen production to reduce stretch marks’ visibility. Furthermore, this treatment suits all skin types and can safely be performed on faces, hands, or other parts.
For maximum effect, many patients opt for combined treatments like RF microneedling with platelet-rich plasma or hyaluronic acid. The microchannels created by needles make this combination ideal, increasing absorption threefold!
Treatment of Skin Laxity
Microneedling can help people with loose skin on their faces, necks, stomachs, hands, and other areas. The procedure tightens the dermis on a superficial basis to improve tone and texture while diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks. If severe skin laxity exists, you might also wish to consider PDO thread lifts as another treatment option.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with no risk or downtime. It punctures the top layers of skin with tiny needles to cause minor injuries that stimulate healing from within, reducing acne scars, pore size reduction, fine lines, and wrinkles, improving tone and texture, and overall improved complexion.
During this process, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Once this step has been completed, a cosmetic pen’s stylus is guided over the skin’s surface while its fleet of sterile needles brush against pores, all while being lubricated with soothing gel to reduce any potential abrasion or irritation caused by brushing against pores. Patients may feel an unpleasant sandpaper-like sensation during this phase of the procedure.
After treatment, your face may appear red and itchy for 24-48 hours afterward. However, this should subside within that time. Additionally, to give the skin time to recover effectively from treatment, you should refrain from using skincare products with retinol or alpha hydroxy acids for at least a week following therapy to allow time for proper healing.
Dr. Green understands that to reach the desired results, multiple sessions may be necessary. She can tailor your microneedling treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals; adding skin-renewal serums like PRP, hyaluronic acid, or kojic acid for additional collagen induction may produce more dramatic and longer-term effects than microneedling alone.
