Microneedling Services in Harrisburg

How does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by triggering your body’s wound healing response. When the needles of the SkinPen puncture the skin, they create microscopic channels down through the epidermis. The untouched, healthy tissue around the wounds immediately helps in the healing of the adjacent perforations.

The process is simple.

• We will start by applying a numbing cream.
• Next, we will use the gold standard FDA-cleared microneedling device – SkinPen – to create micro-punctures from the needles into your skin, basically tricking your skin into thinking it has been wounded. The micro needles penetrate the skin into the dermis, which is below the surface/Epidermis, stimulating your own body’s elastin and collagen.
• Following microneedling, your body sends fibroblasts to create more collagen in the affected area creating lasting results.

What Are The Benefits Of Microneedling?

What are the Benefits of Microneedling? Microneedling treats the entire skin area, promoting skin cell turnover and collagen rejuvenation, and offers a wide variety of benefits including:

• It is suitable for sensitive and thin skin types
• It is cost-effective
• Has a low risk of hyperpigmentation and scarring
• Safer for darker skin tones than most laser-based rejuvenation options
• Safe for use on sensitive areas such as around the lips and eyes
• Leaves the outermost layers of skin intact
• Offers long-term results thanks to collagen building

What Are The Results Of Microneedling And How Long Do They Take?

The result is firmer, tighter, thicker, younger looking skin with improved texture. Many patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin, but visible changes with the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Generally, you can expect to see results about 48 to 72 hours after your first microneedling session, thanks to protein enzymes that produce collagen spiking. More significant results become visible over time. Due to the building of collagen and elastin, your results can continue to improve for up to six months.
