What is Microneedling?
RF MicroNeedling is becoming the new go-to for treating acne scars, helping to resurface textural irregularities, and tightening and firming aging skin by boosting collagen production.
Microneedling causes very small controlled punctures into the skin causing your own immune system to rush to the area to encourage healing. This process can help pores appear smaller, diminish wrinkles, and remodel the skin.
At Lamb Medical we utilize the Endymed Pure system which is far superior to any microneedling pen or roller you will find. Why? Because this system allows the needles to be inserted in and out of the skin in a straight and very controlled manner. This maximizes the effectiveness while minimizing unnecessary skin tearing or trauma from needles accidentally dragging across the skin. The radio frequency charge connects the needle tips under the skin creating tissue remodeling just where you need it.
You also have the ability to add topical PRP to any microneedling service. Learn more about PRP here.
Frequently Asked Questions-
Is Microneedling only for the face?
No. We often use microneedling on the neck and chest also. Microneedling can also be performed on the arms, legs, and abdomen. Pretty much anywhere you have scarring, signs of aging, skin laxity, stretch marks or cellulite.
Does Microneedling hurt?
Certain areas of the body are more sensitive than others but we have designed a powerful and effective numbing ointment that will be applied prior to the start of your session to allow you to be comfortable.
How long until I see results?
You will notice a glow a few days after your session but full effectivness will not be seen for approximately 3 months (it takes your body some time to work through it’s healing process).
Will I need more than one session?
Yes. We recommend 4-6 session depending on the area. Session are usually performed 4 weeks apart. We always recommend a consultation to review the number of session you will need and the results you can expect.
Is there any downtime?
Your skin will appear red and slightly swollen after the session. This will decrease greatly throughout the first 24 hours and should completely resolve within 2-4 days.
Things to know before your appointment:
- Avoid Accutane for 6 months prior to procedure.
- Discontinue any topical agents that may increase sensitivity one week prior to microneedling (Retin- A, retinoids, exfoliants, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, hydroquinone).
- Do not take any anti- inflammatory medications for 3 days prior to microneedling (no ibuprofen or aspirin products, Tylenol is ok).
- If you are prone to cold sores we recommend that you take an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to the day of your treatment. This can be provided by your PCP.
SkinPen® Microneedling: Advanced Skin Rejuvenation at Lamb Medical
We are excited to introduce the SkinPen® Microneedling to our range of advanced skincare treatments at Lamb Medical. This state-of-the-art microneedling device offers a non-invasive solution for achieving smoother, more youthful-looking skin. As a trusted and FDA-cleared treatment, SkinPen® is designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin texture.
What is SkinPen® Microneedling?
SkinPen® is a medical-grade, state-of-the-art microneedling device designed to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process by creating thousands of micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound healing process, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize acne scars, leaving you with smoother, healthier skin.
How Does SkinPen® Work?
- Precision Microneedling: The SkinPen® device uses fine needles to create microchannels in the skin at a precise depth, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response.
- Collagen and Elastin Production: These microchannels promote the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining firm, youthful skin.
- Safe for All Skin Types: SkinPen® is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile treatment for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance.
Benefits of SkinPen® Microneedling
- Non-Invasive: SkinPen® offers a non-surgical solution to skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, SkinPen® helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Minimizes Acne Scars: SkinPen® is particularly effective at reducing the appearance of acne scars, leaving your skin smoother and more even.
- Improves Skin Texture: The treatment enhances skin texture by promoting cell turnover and increasing collagen production.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience only mild redness and slight swelling after the treatment, which typically resolves within a day or two.
Combine with Radiofrequency Microneedling
At Lamb Medical, we offer both SkinPen® Microneedling and Radiofrequency Microneedling. While SkinPen® focuses on stimulating collagen production through mechanical micro-injuries, Radiofrequency Microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to further enhance collagen remodeling and tighten the skin.
Depending on your specific skin concerns and goals, our experienced team can help you decide which treatment, or combination of treatments, will best meet your needs.
