What is Microneedling?
Ohio Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and Skin Health Center uses the FDA-approved SkinPen for the microneedling procedure. Fourteen sterile, disposable needle cartridges are used to induce micro “injuries” in the skin. The depths can be adjusted and personalized to the patient, considering the area being treated. The goal is to utilize the skin’s natural repair mechanism to trigger collagen formation, thereby leading to rejuvenated skin.
Skin Pen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device used to treat facial acne scars for people aged 22 years and up, and for treatment of wrinkles on the neck.
What Does a Microneedling Facial Do?
Microneedling treatments are a minimally invasive procedure that helps improve the skin's overall appearance. As the small needles cause microscopic holes in the skin, collagen production is stimulated. With increased collagen production, you can expect a reduction of wrinkles and improved skin texture. The process can also help with acne scars, stretch marks, and age spots!
The Benefits of Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling treatments are a safe way to improve the appearance of the skin! Since the procedure is minimally invasive, there is no downtime associated with it. Most patients find that the treatment is easily tolerated. The results of microneedling can be seen after just one treatment and can continue to improve with repeated visits to our office for microneedling in Marysville.
