Our team loves seeing the benefits that come from innovative medical treatments. We are happy to offer microneedling as an advanced form of care that produces amazing results.

Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. Through minimally invasive treatment, microneedling beautifully rejuvenates the skin by stimulating the production of healthy new skin cells while simultaneously breaking down scar tissue. In each microneedling session, the skin is prompted to produce extra elastin and collagen, each of which is vital to the network that supports healthy, gorgeous skin. Additionally, new capillaries form to deliver nutrients and moisture to the tissues of the dermis and epidermis.

What microneedling does?

The idea behind microneedling is the creation of tiny channels in the skin. Each microchannel that is created during treatment seals within a short time. Before they seal, however, the practitioner applies a specific topical formula to the skin designed to stimulate the proliferation of elastin and collagen. These substances aid in the body's natural healing process, which plumps and firms the skin from the inside out. In the weeks that follow treatment, the skin progressively improves in tone and texture.

Microneedling treatment is effective at:

• Reducing hyperpigmentation
• Reducing sun spots and age spots
• Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Decreasing the appearance of some acne scars
• Improving skin laxity
• Promoting healthy hair growth
• Improving the overall appearance and feel of the skin

What to expect:

During a consultation with Dr. Stotland, patients have the platform to discuss the skin issues they would like to address. Dr. Stotland carefully assesses the skin and recommends treatment options, explaining details so no questions remain. During this consultation, the recommended number of microneedling treatments will be recommended. The number of treatments correlates with the extent of damage to the skin as well as the patient's individual response to treatments. Microneedling is safe and effective at treating a variety of areas, including the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and more. Most patients begin to notice visible improvement after their very first treatment.
