Sarasota Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that offers a range of benefits for various skin concerns. It is an increasingly popular treatment for treating dermatological conditions, improving overall skin tone, and promoting firmer, smoother skin. Microneedling is sometimes called collagen induction therapy.

Benefits of Microneedling

There are multiple benefits to microneedling, ranging from aesthetic enhancements to improving the look and feel of scar tissue. Benefits for our patients include:

• Anti-Aging Benefits: Microneedling enhances collagen and elastin production, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and leading to a more youthful complexion.
• Improving Skin Tone and Texture: Microneedling stimulates collagen synthesis and enhances cell turnover, contributing to refined skin texture and a youthful glow.
• Improved Effectiveness of Skincare Products: Applying topical serums and creams after microneedling maximizes their effectiveness because the microchannels in the skin allow for better absorption.
• Acne Scars Treatment: Microneedling reduces the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue remodeling, resulting in smoother skin texture.
• Reducing Hyperpigmentation: The controlled injury created by microneedling can break up excess melanin deposits, resulting in a more even skin tone and reducing excess skin pigmentation.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling is a form of controlled damage to the skin that triggers a healing response that includes the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Dr. Lyman uses tiny, sterile needles to stimulate the healing response in the top layer of skin. A derma roller or derma pen may be used depending on the size of the area being treated.

Proper Aftercare Maximizes the Benefits of Microneedling

A good skincare routine is essential to get the full benefits of microneedling. Keep these tips in mind:

• Avoid exfoliating and using harsh chemicals on your skin following the procedure.
• Protect your skin from direct sunlight with a high-SPF sunscreen.
• Moisturize twice daily using a fragrance-free product meant for sensitive skin.
• Stay hydrated. As your cells regenerate, they will need the extra moisture.

Is Microneedling Right for You?
