What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a nonsurgical skin treatment designed to promote lasting rejuvenation with little to no downtime. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling can be a great option for Chicago, IL men and women who want to revitalize their look without the downtime that comes with surgery. This treatment uses multiple fine needles to safely and effectively make micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin. The micro-injuries prompt the body's natural production of elastin and collagen, two nutrients that enhance the health and appearance of your skin. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, we perform microneedling treatments using the SkinPen®, a revolutionary device that offers enhanced safety, comfort, and effectiveness compared to traditional microneedling. After just one session, you can see a significant reduction in the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and more. Set up a consultation at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery to learn more about the benefits of microneedling and how to customize your procedure for your needs and goals.
How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?
Microneedling treatments are performed at our med spa offices in Chicago, IL and typically take 30 – 60 minutes. Before starting, our providers will apply numbing cream or another form of anesthesia to limit any possible discomfort from your procedure. When you're ready, we'll pass the SkinPen over the treatment area, creating deep channels in your skin. Afterward, we may apply vitamin-rich serums or other products to nourish your skin. Finally, we'll finish by applying a moisturizing sunscreen to protect your newly refreshed skin as it heals.
