What is Microneedling?

 Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure that rejuvenates and improves the skin. Our products can get rid of the dull skin and make the skin look smoother.

Microneedling in Lubbock penetrates the skin to induce collagen and elastin production. Collagen is a protein that is naturally found in the body. It helps to moisturize the skin and gives it a natural glow. Therefore, Microneedling hydrates and volumizes the targeted areas. Elastin, on the other hand, helps to retain the shape of the skin which reduces fine lines and wrinkles. The punctures of the Microneedling promote natural healing of the skin. However, the punctures are invisible due to the tiny needles. This way, the skin will start producing natural collagen to nourish the skin.

What is the procedure like for Microneedling Lubbock?

 During the Microneedling procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries to the skin which trigger the natural production of collagen and elastin with minimal epidermal damage. Each treatment is administered using an individually packaged needle cartridge that features a patented silicone sleeve preventing cross-contamination of the pen and ensuring the highest safety for both the user and you. The procedure creates superficial micro-channels allowing better absorption of topical gels, creams and serums.

30-45 minutes before your treatment, your technician will apply an anesthetic cream to your face for maximum comfort during the procedure. A typical treatment takes 15-30 minutes.

We recommend a series of 4 Microneedling treatments, each spaced about 4 weeks apart. Some patients may require less treatments while those with deep wrinkles or acne scars may need more treatments.

How to prepare for Microneedling in Lubbock?

To get the most out of your Microneedling treatments, you should:

• Take off all make-up and remove any skin products from your face before your procedure
• Avoid sun exposure for a couple of days after treatment and wear sunscreen if necessary
• Do not apply skin products that contain preservatives or chemicals for 48 hours

Our professionals will give you complete pre- and post-treatment instructions.

What are the side effects of Microneedling?

Immediately after your Microneedling in Lubbock, your skin will be red, which may last up to 4 days. However, some patients heal completely in as little as 24 hours. You will notice an immediate glow to your skin. Visible changes will occur over the course of several days and weeks. Collagen production will continue for up to six months after the treatment.

Depending on the individual, you may or may not experience the following side effects:

• Bruising
• Peeling
• Bleeding

Please note that the most common side effect is minor skin irritation which can be recovered immediately after the procedure.

It is important not to get Microneedling in Lubbock, if you are:

• Pregnant
• Have certain skin diseases
• Have open wounds
• Have had radiation therapy recently
• Have history of skin scars

Please ask one of our staff members to determine if you are eligible to receive the treatment.

What is the difference between Botox and Microneedling?

At American Laser Med Spa, we offer both non-invasive treatments, Botox and Microneedling. However, Botox can diminish the fine lines and wrinkles through partially paralyzing the targeted muscles of the skin. On the other hand, Microneedling aims to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating it to produce proteins to deliver skin radiance.

Botox retreatment may take anywhere from 3-6 months, but Microneedling may require treatments every month, depending on the patient. This gives the skin plenty of time to continue healing between the procedures.

Ask our expertise about combining the treatment for a long-term and better-looking skin.
