Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure using tiny needles to stimulate collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture and firmness.
What is it?
No need to be intimidated! Medical micro-needling, also referred to as collagen induction therapy, is a clinically proven procedure that helps increase skin’s natural collagen and elastin production which improves the appearance of pores, fine lines, texture, brown spots, acne, scars and wrinkles. Thanks to the boost in collagen and elastin, instead of looking good for a few days after your traditional facial, your skin is smooth and radiant for much longer.
The benefits of microneedling treatments include:
What to expect
At Timeless Skin Solutions, your micro-needling experience is designed with precision and expertise, reflecting our commitment to exceptional service since 2004. Our highly trained medical staff will provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.
We recommend a series of 4-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal outcomes. Combining these treatments with a customized skincare routine from our board-certified experts will enhance your results. With a 98% patient satisfaction rating, superior follow-up care and convenient scheduling options, you can trust that our teams in Dublin, New Albany, Kettering, and Mason, Ohio, are dedicated to delivering outstanding care.
Treatment times generally range between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the area you are treating.
Our medical providers do everything possible to minimize discomfort. You will be prescribed a topical anesthetic to apply to the treatment area which will significantly reduce any pain you may experience, making the treatment quite comfortable. Bony areas on the face tend to be more tender than others and treatment around the nose can cause a tickling sensation.
Yes. If you are seen by an experienced professional who performs the treatment in a safe, precise manner with the use of a sterile needle head, micro-needling is very safe. This is, of course, the experience you will have at Timeless.
An anesthetic will be prescribed and you will pick it up at your pharmacy. About an hour prior to your treatment, you will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area. At the time of treatment your provider will apply a hyaluronic acid gel to the skin to help the micro-needling device glide smoothly over the skin to increase both comfort and efficacy. Using a pen-shaped medical device. fitted with a sterile, disposable tip and a cluster of needles, your provider will treat the skin.
Following treatment, the skin will be flushed in appearance. You may also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch on the treated area. This will diminish greatly after a few hours following treatment. After 12 hours, you can wash the area with a gentle wash, and after 24 hours, if you have treated the face, you can apply mineral makeup. We recommend ColoreScience. You may experience flaking 3-5 days post treatment, but SkinMedica HA5 or a gentle moisturizer is fine to use. After that, get ready for for beautiful skin!
Many patients see noticeable results after 1 treatment, but best results are generally seen after a series of 4-6 treatments, spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
Once you obtain the results you are looking for, we recommend quarterly treatments to maintain those results.
You may experience temporary redness and sensitivity, a little swelling and/or minimal pinpoint bleeding or bruising. Redness usually clears within 12-48 hours, while sensitivity may last a little longer.
Don’t try this at home. While at-home devices for micro-needling are available, our clinicians advise that you do not consider this option. You risk scarring and possibly infection. This treatment is always best when practiced at a medical office. Aside from the safety concerns, devices available for home use do not provide the same results or benefits that you will experience from a treatment administered by professionals.
Micro-needling cost varies by treatment area, and is available in package pricing for added savings. Treatments generally range from $215-$530 depending on the size of the area being treated.
Among the many benefits of Micro-Needling, one is that it is appropriate for virtually any skin type. That being said, if you have used Accutane within 6-months of treatment, micro-needling may not be appropriate for you. As with any treatment, discussing your concerns and medical history with a medical provider will help determine the best treatment options for you.
