Microneedling is not a fad – It’s a proven way to heal your skin and look fab!
Cutting-edge treatments and a spa-like setting meet at Aesthetic & Wellness MD, the premier destination in Baldwin, New York, for solutions that bring out the best in our patients’ skin and in their overall selves. Treatments like microneedling have been carefully selected by Dr. Sydney Hughes for their effectiveness, safety, and comfort. They are performed within a warm and inviting space by equally welcoming professionals, which further adds to comfort and satisfaction with your treatment experience.
What do you mean by “microneedling”?
Our highly-qualified professionals use an FDA-cleared device, SkinPen®, that is designed with tiny and sterile needles. When we gently pass this device over dull, lined, scarred, and rough skin (or other trouble areas), it creates microscopic openings. These openings trigger the body’s natural healing response. As part of the healing process, more collagen and elastin are produced deep within the skin. These substances provide structure and suppleness to the skin. So, by producing more of them, patients gradually notice improvements in the tone, texture, and overall quality of their skin.
Are some people better candidates for microneedling than others?
Microneedling is a highly inclusive treatment. It is an appropriate treatment for all skin types and for many skin conditions – from lines and wrinkles to visible pores and acne scars. No treatment is universally appropriate, though. If you have active acne breakouts, infections, certain skin disorders, a history of poor wound healing, or are pregnant, we can hit pause on microneedling for now and may explore alternative treatments with you.
What is treatment like?
Fast and hassle-free! We start by cleansing your skin. The area/s to be treated may be numbed. Once you are relaxed and comfortable, one of our skilled professionals glides the SkinPen® device over your trouble spots. You may feel a mild, fleeting prickly sensation, but nothing intense or painful. Depending on the size, number, and nature of your skin concerns, a microneedling treatment can take between 30 and 60 minutes – a true “lunchtime” procedure.
What will my skin look like afterward?
If your skin looks and feels sunburnt, this is normal. It’s a sign that the healing process is underway. While it’s not unusual to notice a renewed glow right away, the real results of microneedling for skin rejuvenation don’t appear overnight. Little by little in the weeks following treatment (and with repeat sessions), you’ll notice a clearer, smoother, and more “refreshed” complexion.
How should I care for my skin as it heals?
Be kind to your skin. Let it breathe and heal by avoiding makeup and aggressive or potent products at first. When you start incorporating makeup into your routine again, stick to mineral-based products. Simple skin care is also less likely to irritate areas as they heal. Since your skin will be more sensitive to UV light, always wear sunscreen and practice good sun protection.
What are the benefits of SkinPen® microneedling?
This service is not just another fad. It is a proven solution for supporting your skin health, which can fuel improvements in other aspects of your life by renewing your self-confidence. Our microneedling patients appreciate that microneedling:
- Is powerful – Builds collagen and elastin deep within the skin
- Revitalizes aging, “tired” skin by softening fine lines, wrinkles, and more
- Smoothes out irregularities in texture, including stubborn acne scars, rough patches, and noticeable pores
- Aids in shedding dead and damaged skin cells, which promotes fresh skin and a glowing complexion – In fact, patients may be less reliant on makeup when their “base” skin looks great without it!
- Helps products work as designed, allowing powerful ingredients to be absorbed deeply into the skin through the micro-channels created during treatment, so they get more from their investment in quality skin care
- Is not invasive, and fits their busy and active lives well (minimal downtime)
