Microneedling involves using fine needles that activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, producing elastin and collagen, essential for achieving firm and elastic skin. Microneedling treatments effectively address various concerns, from fine lines, wrinkles, skin blemishes, and acne scars to enlarged pores and uneven skin tone. Tailored to suit multiple skin types and issues, microneedling is a testament to the power of bringing about profound changes from within.
The design of SkinPen® prioritizes patient comfort. Thanks to the delicate and precise needles, the procedure is less painful than other devices. This aspect, coupled with the application of a topical anesthetic, makes the treatment more tolerable. The recovery period post-treatment is relatively short, with most patients experiencing only minor redness and swelling.
Microneedling helps to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote a youthful appearance.
On average, a single microneedling session ranges from $200 to $700, but these prices can vary significantly. Microneedling costs can fluctuate based on several factors, including the clinic’s location, the practitioner’s expertise, the treatment area’s size, the number of sessions required, and the type of microneedling device used. At Ortho-Rejuv, we understand that cost is a consideration, and we offer various financing options to accommodate our patients’ needs. While cost is a factor, it’s equally essential to prioritize the quality of the microneedling procedure.
The journey to achieving optimal results with microneedling often involves multiple treatments, each tailored to individual skin concerns and goals.
To achieve a refreshed and improved skin texture, particularly for addressing concerns like dullness, it’s often recommended to undergo a series of three to four microneedling treatment sessions, with each session spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart.
When addressing more specific issues like stretch marks, a slightly longer course of treatment is often necessary, with 4 to 6 sessions recommended for noticeable improvement.
Deep scars and acne scarring may require six or more sessions to achieve significant results.
Each session contributes to the gradual and cumulative process of skin repair and rejuvenation, with the spacing between treatments allowing the skin to heal and respond optimally. This personalized approach ensures that each microneedling patient receives an effective and appropriate treatment plan for their specific skin needs, whether it’s enhancing overall skin brightness or targeting more stubborn concerns like stretch marks or deep scars.
The downtime after microneedling or collagen induction therapy is minimal. Patients may experience redness and mild swelling a few days post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Most people can return to their normal activities within a day.
