What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a procedure that operates on the principle of your skin’s natural healing abilities. The concept behind microneedling is that your skin cells will trigger a healing response when aggravated, which helps tighten and restore your skin. During a microneedling session, Dr. Henderson will take small needles and gently insert them into the upper layers of your facial skin. These needles are thinner than a human hair. They do not hurt when they penetrate your skin. After a microneedling session, your skin will begin to promote a healing response. This response will make your skin tighter and help reduce scarring and inflammation.
What skin conditions does microneedling help reduce?
Dr. Henderson’s microneedling can help reduce scarring, pore size, tighten skin, and smoothen out uneven skin. It can stimulate the skin to reduce the size of any pores so that they are less apparent. It also can stimulate the skin to tighten and reduce wrinkles and uneven skin areas. The natural healing response triggered by microneedling has potential to stimulate new skin growth and reduce any old scars or uneven skin coloration.
Does it hurt?
Microneedling does not cause great discomfort to the patients. To fully ensure that your experience is as non stressful and calming as possible, Dr. Henderson will apply a topical cream that will numb the areas of skin that she will treat. She may recommend several treatments for the body’s natural healing response to heal your facial skin and to see a radical long lasting difference.
Microneedling can also be coupled with other treatments. Discuss your choices and preferences with Dr. Henderson who can provide you with adjunct options to microneedling.
One of the greatest benefits of microneedling is that it does not require you to take any time off work or your active life. The procedure is done in office so that you can return home the same day. Dr. Henderson performs with such precision that you will have little to no signs of having microneedling performed. Microneedling is very safe and under the care of a skilled doctor like Dr. Henderson, your face is in excellent hands.
