What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-invasive skin resurfacing procedure that is very popular among men and women who want to smooth and refine their complexion without needing to spend a lot of time recovering.  It has been proven safe and effective.  A microneedling procedure generally takes a half hour or less, depending on the areas treated, and can be used on other areas of the body besides the face as well.  Age spots on the chest and stretch marks on the stomach can be treated with microneedling, among others.

Topical solutions are effective for the uppermost layer of skin aka the epidermis but can only go so far without reaching the dermis. Microneedling allows for topical solutions to reach the dermis through the tiny channels created by the procedure, which in turn allows the solutions to work more efficiently and effectively, leading to dramatic results.  Dr. Jenna Queller will work with each individual patient in order to create the best customized microneedling treatment plan.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling takes a short amount of time and does not require any downtime.  Following a session, patients are free to immediately resume their everyday activities and go right back to work. The skin may be red for some time before full results show, but this redness is easily and safely covered with makeup.  Microneedling can be used to treat age spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, stretch marks, and sagging skin. It can even be used to help remove tattoos!  Collagen production is stimulated during a microneedling treatment, which helps to renew the skin and leave patients with a more youthful appearance.

Following a microneedling treatment, it is important to stay out of the sun as much as possible and to make sure to protect the skin with a high SPF sunblock, as the skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.  Dr. Jenna Queller will work with each of her patients to create a follow-up skin care regimen that will preserve the effects of microneedling and allow patients to retain a youthful look for longer.  Some patients may require more than one microneedling session for optimal results, depending on what issues are being treated. Dr. Queller takes care to ensure that patients know what they are in for and what kind of results they can expect.
