Microneedling

Microneedling Treatment in Melville, NY

Microneedling involves minimally invasive skin rejuvenation and uses the SkinPen device. This device creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. Small punctures stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving the tone and texture of the skin. Microneedling can treat various areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. It addresses fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores.

Microneedling in Melville, NY, is suitable for individuals looking to improve their skin’s appearance. It benefits people with aging skin, acne scars, or those seeking overall skin rejuvenation. Results usually begin to show after a few weeks, with full results typically visible after a few months as collagen production continues. The results can last several months, depending on the individual’s skin condition and maintenance routine. To experience the benefits of Microneedling, schedule an appointment with Youthology Medical in Melville, NY today.

Microneedling Services Available

Medical Microneedling

Medical microneedling is designed to treat acne, rosacea, scar revision, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment penetrates deeper than 0.5mm into the skin to stimulate the dermis, breaking up scar tissue and correcting skin texture. Expect a downtime of 2-5 days, with optimal results typically seen after 3-6 sessions spaced one month apart.

Botox Facial

Enjoy a Botox Facial, a procedure that combines the benefits of Botox with microneedling. This treatment infuses Botox beneath the skin’s surface using a microneedling device or stamp, along with hyaluronic acid serum. It tightens pores, reduces oil production, and refines skin texture. Note that this is not a Botox injection but a microneedling treatment enhanced with Botox and hyaluronic acid.

Liquid Gold Facial

The Liquid Gold Facial adds PRP to a microneedling treatment. PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is extracted with high concentrations of growth factors from your blood. This addition accelerates healing, enhances collagen production, and reduces post-treatment redness and swelling. This treatment can be injected directly or microneedled into the skin for faster results. Remember to add dermaplaning to boost the absorption of PRP or serum.

Microneedling for Hair Restoration

Microneedling for hair restoration stimulates collagen production in the hair follicles, promoting hair growth. It is effective for conditions like androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness), traction alopecia, and telogen effluvium. Hyaluronic acid or PRP can be combined with this treatment to enhance results. In addition to improving hair density, microneedling can help combat hair loss caused by genetics and hormones.
