Microneedling
SACRAMENTO, CA
Microneedling Specialist in Sacramento, CA
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface. These small wounds stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and enlarged pores.
How long does microneedling take?
A microneedling session takes approximately 45 minutes.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most people describe the sensation as a mild pricking and vibration. To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream is usually applied before the procedure.
How soon will I see result from microneedling?
Results from microneedling can start to become noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks after the first session, as the skin begins its natural healing process and collagen production increases. However, more significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, or scars typically occur after several sessions.
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is usually recommended, depending on your skin’s condition and goals.
Real Patient Testimonial:
I had a wonderful experience with Vann at Organic Skin Studio. After finishing accutane I had some leftover scaring I wanted to fade, my friend recommended microneedling to me and after some research, I decided to go to Organic Skin Studio. I’m so glad I did, Vann made the entire process so smooth and comfortable it exceeded my expectations. I was pleased with my results after 3 sessions and plan to come back yearly. After living with acne for most of my adult life I am finally happy with my skin, thank you Vann!
