Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is an advanced non-surgical skin rejuvenation technique that can reduce signs of age and minimize the appearance of numerous skin conditions. Our plastic surgeons in Jacksonville offer the state-of-the-art ProCell™ microneedling treatment, which can treat deeper layers of skin while yielding a more rapid recovery and beautiful results. With microneedling treatment, you can achieve tighter, firmer, smoother-looking skin without the need for invasive surgery.
Benefits of Microneedling
The ProCell™ microneedling treatment can be performed on patients of all skin types. This procedure can successfully improve the appearance of:
- Acne scars and other types of mild scarring
- Evenness of skin tone and texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks
One of our plastic surgeons or physician assistants will meet with you for an initial consultation to talk about your cosmetic enhancement goals. During this meeting, he/she will answer all your questions and help you determine if microneedling treatment is right for your needs.
Microneedling Procedure
The ProCell™ microneedling procedure involves the use of a small device head about the size of a quarter. The device is guided over the skin in “stamping” motions, making tiny punctures to create micro-channels, which can ultimately stimulate collagen production and new tissue to help the skin reveal a healthier, more youthful appearance. A topical anesthetic is applied on the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
Patients may experience some redness in the treated areas for up to two days after the procedure. Depending on the extent of skin damage or the depth of wrinkles, it may take between four to eight microneedling treatments, staged over a period of weeks, for the best results. Some patients begin seeing the effects after just one treatment!
