Cosmetic Facial Micro-needling

Treatment Process

This treatment begins with the application of numbing cream, which is left on for 20-30 minutes. Once the patient’s skin is numb, Dr. Joanne Day will remove the remaining numbing cream and apply a thin layer of bioactive agents to the skin.

The micro-needles create micro-wounds that help the absorption of the bioactive agents into the epidermis. The absorption of these agents into the skin help with the anti-aging benefits of the treatment. The entire treatment takes about 1 hour.

After the treatment, the patient may notice redness that can last up to 2 days and dry skin that can last for 2-7 days. Patients should avoid direct sunlight and heat during that time. It is recommended that treatments be done once a month for 3-5 treatments or until the desired results are achieved.
