Microneedling can help treat signs of aging while also encouraging natural rejuvenation. One of the most important ingredients in healthy skin is collagen, a protein produced by your fibroblasts. Collagen helps keep your skin firm and voluminous and protects against damage.

As the years go by, your fibroblasts produce less and less collagen. This can lead to sagging, wrinkles, and a more delicate complexion. By creating tiny wounds in your skin tissue, microneedling activates your regenerative processes and helps you create more collagen. With revamped production, your skin can heal stronger and firmer than before.

We often recommend patients receive 3 to 6 sessions of microneedling in Columbia, depending on their needs. If you’re using SkinPen or Morpheus8 to enhance your skin’s overall health, you may not need as many sessions. Treatments for active complexion concerns may require more appointments.

Typically, we schedule your sessions every 4 to 6 weeks to give your skin time to heal before your next microneedling visit.

Starting 1 week before your appointment, avoid using retinols, exfoliating creams, and products containing glycolic acid. This prevents irritation once we apply the SkinPen or Morpheus8 device to your skin.

Only use gentle skincare products on your newly sensitive skin. After getting microneedling in Columbia, your treatment areas will be particularly vulnerable to sun damage. Therefore, stay out of the sun whenever possible, and use sunscreen if you must go outside.

We may recommend a few serums to help with the healing process. Applying these products as directed can help boost your results while protecting your skin.
