Microneedling IN BOZEMAN, MT
What Is Microneedling?
When over-the-counter skin care products are no longer effective, but you don’t want surgery, consider minimally invasive treatments to rejuvenate the skin, such as microneedling. Our team of experts is pleased to perform microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, at our office in Bozeman, MT. Microneedling uses multiple needles to safely and effectively make micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin. The micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, two nutrients that boost the overall health and appearance of your complexion. Easily performed with other skin treatments, such as vitamin serums or Natural Growth Factor Injections , microneedling can help minimize pores, scars, and stretch marks. Make an appointment for a consultation at Instinct Holistic Medical Spa to learn more about the benefits of microneedling and how to personalize your treatment for your skin needs and goals.
What Can I Expect During Microneedling Treatment?
You may benefit from microneedling treatments if you have light to moderate skin issues, like rough skin texture or low elasticity. Microneedling treatments can minimize the appearance of scars, pores, and stretch marks. You must be willing to wait before seeing the results of your microneedling treatment because the collagen and elastin require some time to have an effect on the skin, but you will see natural-looking results and have better overall skin health.
Microneedling is performed in a private treatment room in about 30 – 60 minutes with numbing cream or local anesthesia if desired; however, most individuals report little or no pain and discomfort. The areas of skin being treated will be cleansed before the microneedling handpiece is passed evenly over. Our specialists may use the SkinPen® for your microneedling treatment. Another option is the AnteAGE MD® Tissue Repair microneedling solution. After the microneedling is complete, a topical treatment, like Natural Growth Factor Injections or a vitamin-infused serum, may be applied for deeper penetration of the nutrients into the skin. A moisturizer selected for your skin type will be massaged in along with sunscreen because the treated skin will be sensitive following the procedure. You may experience mild swelling and redness for about a day after treatment; however, this should resolve on its own. It may take about 1 – 2 months as the collagen and elastin levels increase before you notice visible changes in the health and appearance of your complexion. You should plan to get 4 – 6 follow-up treatments every 4 – 6 weeks for ideal results and long-term skin health.

FAQs
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a nonsurgical procedure to improve the health of your skin. Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps keep your skin smooth, supple, and tight. As you get older, your stores of collagen are reduced, and your skin gets thin and loses elasticity. Microneedling makes tiny skin wounds. These micro-injuries cause your skin to increase collagen production and generate new skin cell growth. Once healed, your complexion looks brighter, firmer, and healthier.
Usually, patients get 3 – 6 sessions to achieve their best results. Although, the number of treatments you require will depend on your goals and the condition of your skin. Microneedling can be safely performed every 4 – 6 weeks as needed. During your initial consultation, our team will be able to estimate how many sessions you will need after assessing your skin and listening to your goals. When your skin goals are reached, our team suggests getting touch-up treatments about twice a year.
For the most part, microneedling is appropriate for all skin tones and types. Skin injuries created by microneedling are so minor there are rarely side effects after the treatment. Microneedling can be performed on most skin areas, including the face, neck, arms, chest, thighs, and calves. Microneedling is not recommended if you’ve used Accutane in the last few months, plus if you have an active skin infection, open wound, or herpes simplex. In addition, you might not be able to get microneedling if you are pregnant, nursing, or getting radiation therapy.
