What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a procedure where a licensed provider uses a special tool that looks like a pen, to provide micro-injuries to your skin with extremely small needles. The microneedling device will slowly and gently run back and forth over your face.

Enhance your microneedle treatment with Toskani nutrient serums for an additional $49 or use the power of your own growth factor with our medical grade platelet rich plasma.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling is one of the most effective methods of skin rejuvenation available, industry wide. 

Our provider uses a precise microneedling device to create a series of micro-punctures within the skin’s surface, along the desired treatment area. These controlled micro-injuries are specifically designed to stimulate the body’s own naturally regenerative processes.

When your tissue is injured, your body sends a signal to stimulate the natural wound-healing process, to restore and rejuvenate any damaged tissue. 

Microneedling uses the same concept to treat issues like wrinkles, unwanted blemishes, skin discolorations, scar tissue, and more.

Microneedling relies on a 3-phase process our body uses to repair and rejuvenate itself when injured.

Phase I: Inflammation

When the skin is pierced and damaged, the immune system is triggered to act immediately. It works to disinfect the wound, remove any debris, increase blood flow to the area, and stimulate cellular regeneration to create new tissue.

Phase 2: Proliferation

Cellular regeneration helps rebuild the tissue in the area, using new granulation cells – a vital part of the extracellular matrix. In addition, brand new blood vessels begin to develop to improve circulation and tissue proliferation.

Phase 3: Remodeling

The wounded or damaged skin tissue is completely replaced by freshly created skin tissue and new blood vessels.

During this skin cell regeneration process, any unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, scars and otherwise damaged skin tissue is resurfaced away and replaced with fresh, youthful skin cells. These new skin cells are far softer and more supple. 

In addition, the process of Microneedling is known to stimulate the production of fresh collagen, a vital skincare protein that begins to dissipate as we age, giving our skin the added volume and fullness, we tend to lose.

Who is a good candidate for microneedling?

Almost anyone in good health is a good candidate for microneedling. If you are in the middle of a severe acne breakout, microneedling could cause worse breakouts. Talk to your dermatologist about the best next step in your skincare.

You should also steer clear of microneedling if you’ve had keloids in the past, are pregnant, or are taking certain medications. Always check with your dermatologist first.

Are there any side effects to microneedling?

Your provider will most likely apply a numbing cream to your face before your procedure to alleviate any potential pain you might experience during. In the first 24 hours after your first microneedling procedure, you might have some redness, dryness, or irritation. It should alleviate within 48-hours.

At Aesthetics by AM, skin needling is used to address a variety of common skin concerns, including:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps smooth out fine lines and reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time.

• Fades acne scars and stretch marks: The treatment supports skin regeneration, gradually improving the look of acne scars and stretch marks.

• Minimizes large pores: Microneedling can tighten the skin and reduce the size of enlarged pores, leading to a more refined texture.

• Evens out skin tone and pigmentation: It helps fade sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone by promoting healthy skin turnover.

• Boosts skin firmness and elasticity: The process encourages collagen and elastin formation, making the skin appear firmer and more youthful.

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and is commonly performed on the face, neck, and other targeted areas. At Aesthetics by AM, we offer personalized microneedling services in Omaha & Council Bluffs designed to deliver visible, long-term results.
