Micro-Needling at Oak Skin Medical Spa
No surgery. No downtime. Just gorgeous, glowing skin!
What is Micro-needling?
Micro-Needling is a treatment that uses a pen-shaped device tipped with hundreds of incredibly thin needles that is run along the skin, puncturing hundreds of tiny holes in the top layers of the skin. This process serves two purposes:
The needles open up the skin to allow increased absorption of serums and oils into the deeper layers of the skin increasing the efficacy of skin care products; and, speeds up the healing process that regenerates collagen and elastin in the skin.
These effects cause the skin to look and feel more plump and smooth, improving the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, pores, and wrinkles.
How does it work?
Dr. Gansner uses the SkinPen system from Bellus Medical. It is the first ever medical facial needling device approved by the FDA and Health Canada. The Skin Pen causes micro-injuries in the skin, causing the body’s natural healing process to kick in. This treatment does not use heat or chemicals, and is safe for all skin tones and types.
What does a treatment include?
A facial micro-needling treatment takes less than an hour to complete. A topical anesthetic is applied to all areas that will be treated before the procedure begins to reduce pain; however, most patients report some minor discomfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Gansner will provide a thorough consultations on the risks and benefits of the treatment, as well as detailed aftercare instructions. You may experience some redness that lasts several days; it may appear similar to a moderate sunburn. The doctor will provide a topical healing set to take home for after care.
How much does a micro-needling session cost?
The best results from micro-needling are seen after several treatments. Dr. Gansner offers several treatment options in order to meet each patient’s individual needs. Please call the clinic and book a consult to determine the best treatment for you.
What results are expected?
While results will vary depending on each patient’s skin makeup, Dr. Gansner has seen significant improvement in the skin condition of many of her patients. The result is the effective re-modelling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.
The Benefits of Micro-Needling
90% of subjects in a clinical trial said they would recommend the procedure to family and friends! Microneedling is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that offers multiple benefits for those looking to enhance their complexion. This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing process and promotes the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, microneedling effectively reduces the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and large pores, while improving skin texture and firmness. Additionally, it enhances the absorption of skincare products, making them more effective post-treatment. Ideal for various skin types, microneedling is a safe and effective way to achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime.
