Those whose complexions you admire the most invest in preventative skin care treatments that deliver that envy-worthy glow. You no longer have to covet the complexions of others because we offer a treatment called microneedling that can help you reach your skincare goals right here at Aspire Aesthetics in Hendersonville, TN. This unique, natural, innovative treatment forces your body to grow new collagen so you can achieve healthier, envy-worthy skin.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a skin care treatment that creates microchannels across the skin’s surface. These microchannels, also known as micro-injuries, produce a healing response from the body that results in increased collagen and elastin production, skin cell regeneration, and skin resurfacing.
The treatment uses a pen-like device that our technicians will slide across your skin. As it moves across the skin’s surface, it automatically and uniformly inserts needles of varying depths into your skin. The treatment delivers uniform injuries so you can experience improved skin health as the body heals those tiny injuries.
Microchanneling Versus Microneedling
There is a subtle difference between microchanneling and microneedling. Both collagen induction treatments force the body to grow new collagen and elastin in the skin’s foundational layers. The difference between them is the device used during treatment. The best professional needling devices are those that utilize microchanneling techniques.
Microchanneling
Microchanneling delivers a uniform skin treatment and punctures the skin without tearing the tissue. Many needling devices that don’t utilize microchanneling techniques can potentially damage your skin, especially those that use a rolling device to create those micro-injuries.
Why It Works
There are many reasons why microneedling is such a powerful skin care treatment. First, it stimulates collagen production. After 30, your body decreases collagen production every year, which causes the signs of aging to affect your face. Your face can appear hollow and bonier, and your skin can lose elasticity and start to sag or droop, resulting in facial folds and wrinkles.
This treatment can combat the signs of aging that result from volume loss by forcing the body to heal the micro-injuries created by the needles and, in doing so, create new, healthy collagen to strengthen the skin’s structure.
What It Treats
Microneedling is a simple, minimally invasive, and natural treatment that targets and treats several different skin conditions. It addresses volume loss on the face, and the body to combat the signs of aging and helps promote rapid cell renewal to treat hyperpigmentation and other skin imperfections.
It can improve the appearance of acne scars by plumping the skin beneath them to increase collagen production to create a uniform skin texture. It’s also a skin brightening treatment that promotes a healthier skin tone by promoting increased cellular turnover.
Customizing Your Treatment
We can customize your microneedling treatment differently, specifically by adding PRP to the treatment process. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma and is found in your blood. Platelet-rich plasma contains platelets and growth factors that help heal the body and repair itself. PRP is regenerative by nature and enhances this treatment by maximizing the results.
Once the treatment device creates tiny channels in your skin, we will apply your PRP to the skin’s surface so that it can absorb into those channels and penetrate the skin’s deeper layers. Doing so will promote skin cell turnover and deliver extra anti-aging benefits.
The Vampire Facial
We also offer the Vampire Facial that uses needling to promote collagen production\. This unique treatment uses a combination of microneedling, PRP, and other skin care techniques to perfect the complexion. We can schedule this treatment every several weeks to help you address different skin concerns. Post-treatment, you can expect the following:
- Increased collagen production
- Tighter, healthier, and firmer skin
- Improved skin texture
- Visibly reduced lines and wrinkles
- Brighter skin
- Younger-looking skin
- Smaller pores
Is There Any Downtime?
Patients love this treatment because it doesn’t require significant downtime. After your treatment, your skin may appear flushed or feel tight, and that’s completely normal.
The sensation subsides within a few hours. You may also notice some flaking post-treatment, but that, too, is a sign that the treatment process is working. It reveals that cellular regeneration is occurring, and your skin is shedding dead skin cells so that it can replace them with healthier, younger cells.
Aftercare Instructions
You must focus on hydrating your skin after treatment to enhance your results. We will provide you with instructions regarding which topical skin care products to use to hydrate your skin, and we will also instruct you on which products to avoid and which to apply daily to promote the best results. It’s also vital that you avoid sun exposure after your treatment.
You will have a newer, healthier layer of skin, but it will also be more vulnerable to environmental factors, especially UV rays. Wear a professional-grade, high-quality sunscreen after your treatment to protect your skin, and wear a hat or visor when you’re outside to add another layer of protection.
Am I a Treatment Candidate?
The best candidates for this unique and natural skin care treatment are patients looking for a minimally invasive treatment that can deliver anti-aging benefits with little to no downtime. Your skin must be clear and healthy, free of active acne breakouts or infections before treatment. Our consultation process allows us to learn more about your skin, skincare history, goals, and medical history to confirm that microneedling is right for you.
