Medical MicroNeedling

Automated MicroNeedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) has become a very popular and effective treatment for fine lines, acne scars and for the improvement of the skin’s overall appearance. During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to stimulate new collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with the appearance of softer skin and fewer wrinkles. Medical MicroNeedling also creates superficial micro-channels which allow topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed more effectively into the skin.

Medical Microneedling treats:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Arms
  • Legs
  • Back
  • Hands
  • Décolleté
  • Abdomen

Benefits of Medical MicroNeedling include*:

  • Younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging
  • Creates a fresher appearance or glow to the skin
  • Reduced hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation
  • Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduced appearance of acne scars, traumatic scars and stretch marks

How Medical MicroNeedling works:

A sterile needle-tip containing 12 tiny micro-needles is attached to the Medical MicroNeedling Pen. Under Dr. Terrell’s medical supervision, your skincare professional will apply a thin layer of topical gel to your skin and select the appropriate treatment depth based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered.

Medical MicroNeedling: What to Expect

The feeling associated with the Medical MicroNeedling Pen is similar to light sandpaper being moved across the skin. While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating needle tip reduces discomfort while the applied hydrating gel also makes the treatment more tolerable.

The procedure takes 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the area treated. Immediately after the treatment you will notice a bright redness to the skin.

Medical MicroNeedling and Healing

The total healing time depends on the depth of needles used and the number of overlapping passes your skincare professional performs. On average, patients are red up to 2 to 4 days. Some patients heal completely in as little as 24 hours. Utilizing the quality skincare products recommended by Dr. Terrell can help to speed up the healing process.

Results from Medical MicroNeedling

Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results continue to improve up to six months after the treatment as collagen production continues.*

Treatment Recommendations

Some patients only require a single treatment, once per year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of two to three treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive six to eight sessions at six week intervals.
