How Microneedling Works

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is performed using a skin roller or electronically controlled pen containing tiny needles. The treatment creates a controlled injury right underneath the surface of the skin.

The effect of microneedling is similar to many other non-surgical skin tightening procedures. The body responds to the microneedling by producing more collagen in the treated area. This dermal injury stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin.

With a series of treatments, microneedling has been shown to:

Smooth fine lines and deep wrinkles
Improve skin structure
Relax scars
Improve depressed acne scarring
Smooth cellulite
Improve old surgical scars
Minimize the appearance of stretch marks

Benefits of microneedling include:

Only 24-48 hours of recovery
No known negative side-effects
Extremely high absorption of any type of topical treatments
Collagen induction through controlled mechanical stimulation of the dermis
Safe for use on thin skin
No permanent damage to the skin
Pain-free procedure
No bleeding, infection, discoloration or other complications on the treated area
Can be used on areas of the skin where laser resurfacing can not reach

Your microneedling procedure. What to expect.

First, a medical professional applies a numbing cream on the treatment area. After the numbing cream sets into the skin, a rejuvenating serum is applied to the treatment area. The microneedling device is then rolled across the area, puncturing the skin in a specific pattern. As each fine needle punctures the skin, it creates a channel or micro-wound and the serum is pushed deep into the skin. This creates a controlled injury on and below the skin’s surface. The injury triggers the body to fill these micro-wounds by producing new collagen and elastin, and by stimulating skin cell regeneration.

My journey started with me acknowledging the deep vertical lines above my lips, and wanting to try to minimize them without drastic procedures. I researched micro-needling and thought it might help. Through some online searches, I found that Gina, Angel In White, at W Skin Studio performed this service. My toe was officially in the water. I got a series of rolling sessions, which led to a series of IPL sessions. I knew that although these procedures gave me much better skin, my deep wrinkly friend "The Road Map" was still surrounding my mouth and torturing my existence. So I asked Gina about fillers. She referred me to Dr. Wulc for a consultation. I did a round of Belotero, which was fabulous.....but I realized it was going to be a lot of maintenance. At a follow up appointment, I asked what Dr. Wulc would recommend. After discussing it with him and his trusty sidekick, Nurse Debbie, I decided to go with ablative laser resurfacing, heavy around the mouth and under the eyes, and light on the rest of the face. I think when I started with the micro-needling, I knew deep down I would need "The Big Guns". My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Wulc and his artistic talent, and the entire staff, most noteably Debbie, who solidified my decision, Gina who is helping me keep the fantastic result, and to Tara, a welcoming comfort in the front office. My life has changed tremendously!
