Unlock Youthful Radiance with Advanced Microneedling
Microneedling is an innovative aesthetic procedure that leverages the skin’s natural healing abilities to rejuvenate and restore its appearance. This treatment stimulates collagen production by creating microscopic punctures in the skin, leading to improved skin texture and firmness. It’s a minimally invasive method that provides substantial results. The procedure is designed to target a variety of skin concerns, making it versatile and effective. Experience renewed, vibrant skin through microneedling.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, involves using a specialized device with fine needles. This device is rolled over the skin to create controlled micro-injuries, which prompt the body to produce new collagen and elastin. The result is a thicker, more supple, and younger-looking skin surface. This treatment suits all skin types and can be customized to meet individual needs. Achieve smoother and firmer skin with microneedling.
How Does Microneedling Work?
At Hermosa Heights Aesthetics & Wellness, Barbara Kulik, MSN, FNP-BC, NP-C, begins with a thorough consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals. During the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. Barbara then uses the microneedling device to gently create tiny punctures in the targeted areas, promoting skin regeneration and enhancing product absorption. The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes, with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities soon after. Over the following weeks, you’ll notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance as new collagen forms.
