Our skin plays a key role in our appearance. If you are concerned about acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, or uneven pigmentation, you may benefit from receiving microneedling.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, this minimally invasive skin resurfacing procedure creates tiny, controlled injuries on the skin to trigger your body’s natural healing process. The goal is to produce additional collagen and elastin, naturally occurring proteins that help with skin health. Our talented med spa team at Hatef Aesthetics will work with you to determine if microneedling in Nashville will be a good fit for your unique needs and support you through each step of the process.
Benefits of Microneedling
By creating new collagen and elastin, microneedling is beneficial to skin health in several ways. Specifically, microneedling can improve:
- Skin elasticity
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone
- The appearance of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and fine lines
Many patients in Nashville appreciate microneedling because of its effective results, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Candidates for Microneedling
Microneedling can help patients in Nashville who are concerned about pores, wrinkles, loose skin, scars, or uneven skin tone. Our team will help you determine if it may be a good fit for your needs.
You should talk to your provider if you are taking medication for acne, have a blood disorder or are on anticoagulants, get frequent rashes or cold sores, form keloid scars, or have skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema. In these cases, microneedling may not be a good fit for you, and our team can help you explore other options.
How Microneedling Works
The tiny pinpricks from microneedling result in a minor injury to the skin, which causes the skin to create tissue that is rich in collagen and elastin. It is not uncommon for skin to lose these helpful proteins as a result of age or injury. Encouraging the skin to create new tissue can lead to healthier skin.
Microneedling treatments in Nashville are most commonly used on the face, specifically the cheeks, forehead, jawlines, under-eyes, and lips. It can also be used on the neck, chest, arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.
Microneedling is fully customized to every patient’s needs. It can be paired with other treatments, including topical serums and radiofrequency.
What To Expect During the Procedure
Our team in Nashville will explain each step of the microneedling process to patients in Nashville. This treatment is typically completed in 45 minutes to an hour.
Prior to the procedure, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area to ensure that you remain comfortable.
Then, your provider will make a tiny prick underneath the skin using a small, sterilized needle. Because of the size of the pinpricks, you may notice them after the procedure. The needle will be moved evenly across the treatment area.
During the procedure, you may notice a warm or scratching feeling in the treatment area. There may be more pain if the needles are near bony areas like the cheekbones. Your provider will tell you more about what you may feel based on your treatment area and the type of microneedling that you are receiving.
Your provider will finish your treatment by applying a serum to the treatment area.
