Microneedling

Multi Speciality Medical Practice located in Roseville & Folsom, CA

Are you searching for a skincare solution that revitalizes your skin from the inside out? Look no further than microneedling. This advanced procedure targets fine lines, scars, and uneven skin tone while boosting collagen production for a radiant, youthful glow. At Zeam Health & Wellness, we take microneedling a step further with options like PRP microneedling and treatments incorporating exosomes (stem cells), enhancing the results even further.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure in which tiny, sterilized needles create micro-injuries in your skin. These small punctures kickstart your body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Think of it as giving your skin a gentle nudge, encouraging it to renew and rejuvenate. With this process, you can smooth out fine lines, enhance skin firmness, and diminish the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by stimulating your skin’s natural healing response. During the procedure, a healthcare provider uses a pen-like device with tiny needles to make micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. While this may sound intense, a numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort during the process​. After creating the micro-injuries, your body sends collagen and elastin to the affected areas to start repairing and rebuilding the skin. This boost in collagen helps to fill in wrinkles, smooth out scars, and improve overall skin texture.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling offers several skin-enhancing benefits, including:

Is Microneedling Right for You?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for most individuals looking to enhance their skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. This procedure can benefit those dealing with issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, or uneven skin tone. However, it’s essential to understand that certain conditions and factors may influence your eligibility for microneedling.

Who Is Eligible for Microneedling?

Microneedling is typically safe for those who:

Are in generally good health and do not have active skin infections.

Have concerns such as:

- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Hyperpigmentation or dark spots
- Enlarged pores
- Reduced skin elasticity

Desire a non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation

Prefer treatments with minimal downtime

Who Should Avoid Microneedling?

Microneedling may not be suitable for individuals with the following conditions:

Those currently experiencing active acne breakouts may need to wait until the condition subsides, as microneedling can potentially worsen inflammation.

If you have skin conditions like:

  • Psoriasis
  • Eczema
  • Rosacea
  • Keloid scars or a history of hypertrophic scarring, microneedling may exacerbate these issues​.

 Individuals using specific acne medications, such as isotretinoin (Accutane), should avoid microneedling, as it may increase the likelihood of scarring. It is generally advised to wait at least six months after stopping these medications before considering microneedling.

Those who have recently undergone radiation treatments should consult their healthcare provider before considering microneedling.

Pregnant individuals may need to be cleared by their OBGYN before undergoing microneedling​.

The Microneedling Procedure: What to Expect

Before your microneedling session, we will apply a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort​. The procedure itself typically takes around 30 minutes, though the exact duration may vary depending on the size of the area being treated. Using a pen-like tool with tiny needles, your provider will create micro-punctures across the targeted skin areas. You might feel a warm or scratching sensation, especially around bony areas like the cheekbones. Some treatments, especially those involving longer needles, may cause minor bleeding, which is perfectly normal.

Aftercare and Healing

Microneedling is an outpatient procedure, so you can return home immediately afterward. It’s common to experience redness, swelling, and minor discomfort for a few days post-treatment. To support optimal healing, we recommend:

  • Avoiding sun exposure for about a week to protect sensitive skin.
  • Using gentle, non-irritating skincare products, avoiding those with alpha-hydroxy acids and retinol for a few days.
  • Applying an antioxidant serum and staying hydrated to enhance recovery.

Why Choose Professional Microneedling Over At-Home Rollers?

While there are at-home microneedling rollers available, they lack the precision and efficacy of professional treatments. Home rollers use shorter, duller needles, which may not penetrate the skin deeply enough to trigger significant collagen production​.

Additionally, improper sterilization of at-home devices can increase the risk of skin infection. At Zeam Health & Wellness, we prioritize your safety, using professional-grade equipment and techniques to deliver safe and effective treatments.
