What is Microneedling?

Microneedling involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Benefits

Improved Skin Texture: Microneedling reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin, giving you a smoother complexion.

Reduced Scars: It effectively diminishes acne scars and other types of scars by promoting new skin cell growth.

Even Skin Tone: The treatment helps fade hyperpigmentation and sun spots, resulting in a more even skin tone.

Minimized Pores: Regular microneedling can reduce the size of enlarged pores, making your skin look more refined.

Our Microneedling Devices

At Soul, we use two state-of-the-art microneedling devices to cater to your specific skincare needs:

  1. SkinPen: The SkinPen is an FDA-approved device equipped with multiple tiny needles that puncture the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. This process stimulates your body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to new collagen production while minimizing cellular damage. The result is the effective remodeling of new skin, which improves skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, skin laxity, and hyperpigmentation.
  2. Lutronic Genius Microneedling + Radiofrequency: This advanced device combines microneedling with radiofrequency to enhance collagen production and skin tightening. The Lutronic Genius is perfect for those seeking deeper rejuvenation, and it can be used on both the face and body.

Both devices can be paired with our non-ablative laser for even better results, offering a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.

The Process

  1. Consultation: Your skincare professional at Soul will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine if microneedling is right for you.
  2. Preparation: The provider cleanses your skin, and applies a numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
  3. Treatment: The skincare professional gently moves the microneedling device over your skin, creating controlled micro-injuries.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: The provider applies a soothing serum to promote healing and enhance results.

Aftercare and Results

Post-treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. It’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure and use gentle skincare products during the healing process. You’ll start to notice improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a week, with continued enhancements over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

From fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and hyperpigmentation, this is an effective treatment for a range of skin concerns.
