OVERVIEW
As we age, our skin experiences a decline in the production of collagen, a protein essential to the maintenance of skin's elasticity, firmness — and ability to recover from damage. With the loss of collagen, even the most vigilant agers among us become more prone to scarring, dark spots, inflammation, and other signs of premature aging. Microneedling boosts the production of collagen by stimulating the body's natural healing response, resulting in improved texture and tone for all skin types.

TREATMENT INFORMATION
HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?
Microneedling is an innovative technology that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro injuries in the epidermis and dermis. In addition to collagen, these microscopic punctures trigger the release of growth factors and other proteins that promote advanced healing. This technique also allows for the effective delivery of a variety of serums and medications into the skin with minimal irritation, fostering skin rejuvenation and healing from the inside out.

TREATMENT FAQS
Is Microneedling Safe?
Microneedling is considered a minimally-invasive, safe procedure. In some situations, infections or allergic reactions may occur, but keeping your skin clean after the treatment minimizes these risks.
What Can I Expect After The Procedure?
You can expect your skin to look red and swollen immediately following a microneedling treatment due to increased blood flow to the skin. Flaking and peeling are also common through the first 48 hours following the procedure.
How Long Do Results Last?
Most patients see results from their microneedling in San Antonio for up to four to six weeks following treatment.
