Everything You Need To Know

What is Microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. It uses the SkinPen device, which has tiny microneedles that are used to penetrate the skin and create microscopic punctures. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing process, which results in the production of collagen and elastin. Both proteins play a crucial role in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. These also help improve skin quality and brighten your complexion. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a popular, minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment scarring, and other common aesthetic concerns in the face and body.

A specialized handheld microneedling device creates tiny perforations in the skin of the treatment area, which can stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal itself by increasing production of collagen and elastin. This innovative process can minimize signs of age and other skin conditions for a more radiant and youthful appearance. At Belladerma Med Spa in Toms River Microneedling is performed by our experienced team with the state-of-the-art SkinPen®.

What are the benefits of Microneedling?

SkinPen microneedling can go a long way in improving the appearance of your skin. It helps with a wide array of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone anywhere on the face or neck, including the areas around your eyes and mouth. In addition, the procedure improves skin texture, tightness, and radiance. SkinPen microneedling is suitable for all skin types, and it's an excellent alternative to more invasive procedures like chemical peels and laser resurfacing.

A Targeted Treatment

Your Microneedling Procedure

The Microneedling treatment process begins with the application of a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based solution. HA, a hydrating agent which occurs naturally in the body, is the same substance found in some of the most effective injectables and dermal fillers on the market. The topical solution is absorbed into the skin as the pen glides over the treatment area. The “micro-channels” or “micro-wounds” created by the tiny perforations can cause the skin to self-heal and self-renew, which can ultimately diminish signs of age, enlarged pores, skin discoloration, mild scarring, and other concerns.

What Does The Microneedling Procedure Involve?

Our team will apply a numbing agent to the skin to minimize discomfort during the microneedling procedure. This treatment can often be completed in about 30 minutes; however, the total length of the microneedling procedure will depend on the size and number of areas being targeted for rejuvenation. Our SkinPen™ providers will apply a topical anesthetic before the procedure, making you comfortable. The skin will appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Additionally, other responses are tightness and peeling. These conditions resolve within 24-48 hours after treatment.

Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions

Is It Safe?

Yes, the treatment uses an FDA-cleared microneedling device and is very safe for most people. Make sure to tell your aesthetic provider if you have an active skin infection or are prone to cold sore breakouts, as microneedling could aggravate these conditions.

Am I A Good Candidate?

This procedure is generally suitable for patients of all ages and skin types. However, it’s a good idea to schedule a consultation with one of our aesthetic specialists so they can evaluate your skin and recommend the best option available.

Is There A Recovery Period Necessary After Microneedling?

Most individuals do not require a period of downtime following SkinPen® microneedling treatment. With that in mind, some temporary side effects may be present for a short time. The skin may appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Other responses may include tightness and peeling. These conditions should resolve within 24-48 hours after treatment. Following each microneedling session, we advise you to protect your skin from the sun and refrain from using skin care products that may contain irritants. If you wish, a member of our team can help you choose a soothing cream or ointment to use while you heal.

How Long Do Microneedling Results Last?

Microneedling results can last several months and even longer for some patients, depending on each individual’s unique response to the treatment and the specific concerns addressed. We may recommend that patients undergo at least three treatment sessions, spaced about 30 days apart, for the most optimal results. The effects of microneedling can appear as soon as two to four weeks after the first treatment, and should continue to improve in the weeks that follow as the collagen progressively regenerates.

EndyMed Intensif® And Microneedling

Another microneedling option at our Med Spa is the EndyMed Intensif® procedure, which can produce particularly effective results in the face and neck. Similar to the SkinPen®, Intensif treatments can stimulate the body’s self-healing properties, but have the added advantage of a radiofrequency (RF) component. This powerful energy is delivered into the dermis with the goal of stimulating collagen and elastin production to reduce signs of aging. If you would like help choosing between EndyMed Intensif® and the SkinPen®, a member of our staff will be happy to assist you with determining which option is more ideal for your needs.

What Does Microneedling Cost?

The cost of microneedling depends on the extent of treatment, the areas being targeted for rejuvenation, the number of treatment sessions that have been recommended, and other important factors. Because we never want financial concerns to stand in the way of the treatment you deserve, our practice accepts numerous convenient payment methods, including financing through PatientFi™. This reputable third-party lender offers installment plans for qualified applicants who prefer to pay for their microneedling treatment over time.
