Microneedling in Brooklyn Park

During your appointment, your provider will methodically use the microneedling device on your skin to create micro-injuries in your skin’s outer layers. These injuries tell your body that it needs to produce new collagen and elastin as a healing response.

Collagen and elastin are key proteins responsible for the structure, definition, and tightness of your skin. In the weeks following your appointment for microneedling in Brooklyn Park, you will see improved texture and tone thanks to naturally occurring healing proteins.

For concerns like discoloration, age spots, acne scars, and stretch marks, microneedling treatments can also break up melanin and scar tissue as well as accelerate cell turnover. This can help your skin look more even and more refreshed.

For the best results, there are a few instructions that you should follow before your session.

• For 2 to 4 weeks before each appointment, stop taking anti-inflammatory medications like blood thinners and NSAIDs (if approved by your physician). This will help prevent redness and bruising from the microneedles.
• Avoid alcohol, smoking, and harsh exfoliation products for at least a week before your session. This will also help prevent skin irritation and redness.
• Drink plenty of water (at least 64 ounces) in the days before your session.

By following these steps, you can help minimize your recovery time.

After your session, there are a few things you can do to speed up your recovery process. Though most patients don’t experience any major discomfort from treatment, you may experience some bruising, redness, itchiness, or soreness.

To reduce these side effects, we recommend you:

• Continue to avoid anti-inflammatory medication like blood thinners and NSAIDs (if approved by your physician).
• Avoid prolonged sun and heat exposure for at least 2 weeks after your session, as these can also slow your recovery.
