Microneedling Miami
Finding a way to beat the signs of aging is so popular that it created a billion-dollar industry. If you walk into any health or beauty store, you’ll see dozens of products on the shelves that claim they can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as any other signs of aging that you see. While those products don’t always work the way you want them too, there are alternatives that can help with the signs of aging. One of the best treatments for both men and women is microneedling. At Miami Medical Spa, you can find out more about this procedure before setting up your first appointment.
What is a Microneedling Treatment?
First started in 1995, this procedure gained millions of fans as doctors began releasing videos and photos of their work online. Watching just a few videos will show you how the treatment can restore your beauty because you see what patients looked like before and after the procedure. When you have an injury, your body sends cells to fight the damage and heal you. The principle behind this procedure is similar. It uses thin and fine needles that puncture your skin and create a small injury. Your body will send healthy cells to that area at the same time that it produces more collagen. In just one treatment, you may find that your skin looks and feels better.

How Much Pain Does it Cause?
Many patients hear the word needle and immediately think that it will hurt. The most popular device used for this procedure is a DermaRoller, which has a tiny diameter. Depending on what you need, the doctor might use a roller with a diameter of as small as 0.5 millimeters or as big as 2.5 millimeters. The needles do not go deep into your skin, which means that you shouldn’t feel much in the way of pain. If you have a tattoo, you’ll find that this is almost a walk in the park. Most patients claimed that they felt no pain but a small amount of discomfort.
Immediate and Long-Term Results
When you read the directions on a skin rejuvenation cream or lotion, the fine print might claim that it can take six to eight weeks before you see any changes or results. A microneedling procedure provides immediate results and others that you’ll see in the future. As your body fights the injury, you’ll notice that your skin appears slightly inflamed and pink. This makes the skin look healthier and can give you a natural glow. The results improve over time, with some patients finding that they love the way they look after a month.

How Often Do You Need to Make an Appointment?
You can get the full benefits of this non surgical procedure in only one appointment. Here at Miami Medical Spa, we recommend that patients schedule their appointments at least one month apart. You must give your body time to fight the injury that it thinks you had and take time to recover. Depending on the results that you want to see, you may only require one appointment. After your first session, you have the chance to go home and get an idea of how well it worked. This lets you decide whether to come back for another treatment.
What to Expect
The microneedling procedure is one that we do in the office. After you check-in and come to one of our treatment rooms, we apply a topical anesthetic and give it time to work. It allows the needle to penetrate your skin and reduces the pain that you would otherwise feel. With anesthesia, the needle feels more like a small pinch than anything else. We will then use the needle to puncture your skin in different directions as we focus on your problem areas. Though you may notice some bleeding before and after the procedure, it is very mild and stops within a few minutes.
Your Downtime
Unlike a skin lift and other surgical options, this treatment is less invasive, which means that you won’t experience an extended downtime. At the end of your session, we will control any bleeding that you experience and make sure that you are comfortable before sending you home. The anesthesia will wear off in the coming hours, but you may find it difficult to talk or eat until then. We recommend placing an ice pack on your treated skin to control bleeding and reduce inflammation. Ice packs can also reduce any discomfort or pain that you feel after the treatment. Though you may not want to head right back to work, you’re fine to work the following day.
Why Choose This Procedure?
Looking at the microneedling purpose is the easiest way to see why you should choose this procedure. It works best on the face and can target any area where you have scars or see the signs of aging. You might choose this treatment because you have certain conditions, including:
- Sun or age spots
- Acne scars
- Skin tone issues
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Oversize pores
We also recommend the treatment for men and women with stretch marks. Stretch marks appear when the body undergoes major changes such as rapid weight loss/gain and pregnancy.
What is Microneedling and How Long Does it Take?
Many of our patients want to know how this procedure works and how long it takes. All appointments are different, which is why we don’t want to tell you the exact time and have you worry if it takes longer. You’ll want to set aside at least one hour for each treatment. This gives you time to fill out your medical forms and talk to the doctor about your family history. Most patients spend 45 to 60 minutes in our office.
Side Effects
Before booking a microneedling Miami appointment, make sure that you consider the possible side effects. Though bleeding during the appointment is common, most patients find that the bleeding stops before they leave the office. You may find that your skin peels after the procedure, which occurs as new skin grows and your body tries to eliminate the old/dead skin. Some patients also experience a small amount of inflammation. If you are pregnant or have open wounds, we will recommend other options beyond a skin pen.
Top Microneedling Benefits
Undergoing this non surgical procedure allows you to get healthier skin without using daily lotions and other products. You may notice some big results after one session and find that your skin looks even better after a few weeks. As you have the option of spacing out your sessions, you can easily work your appointments around the schedule that you follow. It doesn’t require as much healing time as other treatments do and are safe to use on different parts of the body. Though you may use the skin rejuvenation technique on scars or wrinkles around your face, it works on scars and stretch marks on your belly and other areas too.
