What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling — also known as Collagen Induction Therapy — is a procedure that essentially pokes holes in the skin surface, creating a “micro injury” that encourages the skin to stimulate collagen production. Once the collagen production begins, it fills in fine lines and plumps the skin to create a more youthful appearance.
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity. No longer should you have to hide behind makeup or continue the search for pricey products. Microneedling targets many skin problems on the face that seem impossible to correct. If you suffer from wrinkles, scars, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, age spots, pore size, etc., microneedling may prove to be a beneficial solution.
Microneedling, also known as skin needling, or collagen induction therapy is a technique that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles in order to cause the production of collagen. So, how do you know if you are a good candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is minimally invasive and does not cause wounding of the skin. Side effects are rare and there is no surgery and no downtime. This is an easy treatment that is not limited to skin type or colour. Essentially, everyone is the perfect candidate for this revolutionary treatment. Not to mention, microneedling is also inexpensive when compared to other skin rejuvenation treatments.
Microneedling is most commonly used for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, pigmentations, stretchmarks and rosacea. This treatment targets a wide variety of skin conditions that may make us want to cover up and feel uncomfortable. It’s time to feel confident and ready to take on the day without makeup or clothing to cover up acne scars, wrinkles or uneven pigmentation.

After applying an anesthetic cream to your skin, your practitioner will use a special tool to create tiny holes in your skin’s surface. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the area treated. The sensation is similar to sandpaper being moved across the skin, but because the treatment is short in duration, it is easily managed.
Immediately after the treatment, the skin area treated will be reddish in color. On average, patients have the redness for two to four days; however, some patients heal completely in 24 hours.
Patients notice an immediate glow to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks. Results can continue to improve up to six months after the treatment as collagen production continues.
Some patients only require a single treatment once a year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of two to three treatments spaced about six to eight weeks apart. For patients with concerns about deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars, six to eight sessions at six-week intervals are recommended.

What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning uses a medical-grade surgical blade in short strokes at a 45 degree angle to remove the surface layer of dead skin, debris and hair. A single dermaplaning session is able to remove of built up dead skin cells and debris from your skin. Since the blade is being held at a precise angle and the experienced technician uses light, feathering strokes, there is no worry about piercing or scratching the skin. Dermaplaning is completely pain free and non-invasive.
The technique may look similar to shaving, but it is much more effective because the blade being used is able to get right against the top layer of skin. There is no need to worry about the hair growing back darker- dermaplaning targets the vellus hair (peach fuzz) that grows back the same size and color. In addition, the way the surgical blade cuts the hair does not create the illusion of a thicker hair.
What are the Benefits?
Dermaplaning provides an effective and safe exfoliation treatment that promotes deeper product penetration, boosting the effects of skin care products while making the skin look and feel smoother. It is also beneficial for reducing the appearance of acne scars. The treatment also works to remove facial hair that can trap dirt and oils. Makeup looks smoother and more flawless and without the fine layer of hair on the face, light more easily refracts off of the skin creating an ethereal skin glow!
