What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is the insertion of very fine short sterile needles into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation. These very fine needles create tiny punctures in the skin to help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce wrinkles, acne scars and hyperpigmentation. It is also known as collagen induction therapy. During a 30 minute procedure, the skin will be cleansed and numbed, and needles will go to a depth of about 0.25mm to 1.5mm, depending on the patient.
It's important to do this treatment with a trained professional to ensure proper technique, use of sterile equipment, and the ability to adjust the treatment according to individual skin type and concerns. Your practitioner at Iris Wellness Clinic is highly trained and licensed to perform this procedure. Your practitioner will also create a personalized serum to be used during treatment. The serum will be custom made and optimized for each patient to address your individual goals and skin’s needs.
What are the Benefits of Microneedling?
IMPROVED SKIN TEXTURE AND TONE: Microneedling helps stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can help to improve the texture and tone of the skin. The procedure can also help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles,
resulting in a more youthful-looking complexion.
​
REDUCED ACNE SCARS: The procedure can help to break down scar tissue and promote the growth of new collagen, which can help to fill in and smooth out the skin. This can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring.
​
BRIGHTENED COMPLEXION: The production of new cells promoted by microneedling can lead to a brighter, more even complexion. This can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
​
ENHANCED PRODUCT ABSORPTION: The tiny punctures created by microneedling can help to increase the absorption of skincare products, making them more effective. This means that you may see better results from your skincare routine after a microneedling session.
​
INCREASED COLLAGEN PRODUCTION: Microneedling helps stimulates collagen production in the skin, which can help to improve skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture, resulting in a more youthful-looking complexion.
​
HAIR RESTORATION: Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated that microneedling can significantly regrow hair to treat different types of alopecia. It stimulates the growth of new cells, reduces inflammation of hair follicles that can impair growth, and improves blood circulation to the scalp and hair, which allows for the hair follicles to receive the nutrients it needs to stimulate hair growth.
What is Nanoneedling?
Nanoneedling uses microscopic, sterile, hair-like needles to penetrate the top layer of skin, called the epidermis, by separating cells and allowing active ingredients to be delivered. The needles used in this procedure typically only reach the upper 0.15mm of the skin. Nanoneedling is used for very sensitive and delicate areas such as under the eyes (inside the infraorbital ridge) or around the lips, which are too sensitive for Microneedling. The benefits are similar to Microneedling except that since the needles do not penetrate too deep, it can be used on these delicate areas to treat concerns such as dark circles under the eyes, puffiness around the eyes, crow’s feet, and wrinkles around the lips.
Nanoneedling can be performed much more frequently than Microneedling and is the ideal treatment for in-between your Microneedling treatments to expedite treatment outcome.
​
At Iris Wellness Clinic, Nanoneedling for around the eyes and lips is automatically included in your treatment with a Microneedling treatment.
