Microneedling

microneedling

At Nicole Norris MD Medical Spa we pride ourselves in offering a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for clients seeking rejuvenated skin and relief from certain types of scars. Microneedling can be used to treat a variety of skin imperfections to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, and increase elasticity.

If you are interested in learning more about this procedure, contact us today to schedule a consultation. The staff at Nicole Norris MD Medical Spa are led by Dr. Norris and Tamara Smith, RN; two women with over 30 years of combined experience in aesthetic medicine. We look forward to hearing from you!

What is Microneedling?

The practice of microneedling originated in 1995 and has seen many advances and improvements in the years leading up to the present day. Microneedling began with tattoo gun experimentation to break up scar tissue, which eventually led to the relatively harmless, life-changing treatment we use today. There is no telling where microneedling might go next.

Microneedling is most frequently used to rejuvenate the skin and treat acne scars. Skin rejuvenation is achieved due to the collagen production encouraged by microneedling, which leads to skin smoothing and tightening. These treatments may require anywhere from 4-6 sessions to deliver the desired effect, but require little to no downtime.

As the name suggests, microneedling uses tiny needles to penetrate the outer layer of skin cells to kickstart the body’s wound healing process. This procedure does not actually damage the epidermis, which causes an overall better aesthetic appeal than some resurfacing procedures. Many uses have been found for micro needling, which include treatments for:

  • Acne scars
  • Posttraumatic/burn scars
  • Alopecia (sudden hair loss)
  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
  • Stretch marks

Does Microneedling Have Side Effects?

Common side effects include redness and irritation around the injection site, but these usually dissipate within a few hours. As opposed to other ablative and resurfacing procedures, microneedling rarely leads to hyperpigmentation, which means it is relatively safe to use in all skin types.

Do I Qualify for Microneedling?

Even taking into account microneedling’s wide range of uses, it does have some limitations for certain types of scarring and some skin imperfections. Ask us about combining some of our other treatments and products with micro needling for maximum results

Microneedling can help you regain your youthful, fresh, smooth skin in a minimally invasive procedure. If this is the kind of treatment you’ve been looking for, contact Nicole Norris MD Medical Spa to schedule a consultation. Rejuvenated skin may only be a phone call away!
