Microneedling Treatments Las Vegas

Aging and environmental damage can leave skin with fine lines, sun damage, and pigmentation problems. Microneedling delivers complete skin rejuvenation by triggering collagen production. It also stimulates cellular renewal to bring new, glowing skin to the surface. 

WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING FOR SKIN REJUVENATION?

Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that brightens and firms your skin. It uses tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin, triggering the skin’s natural healing responses. It signals cells in the dermis to produce new collagen that firms and strengthens your skin. It also brings healthy new skin cells to the surface, erasing the appearance of pigmentation issues and uneven skin tone.

HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?

During microneedling, a member of Dr. Stile’s experienced team will use a handheld device, moving it over your skin to create a series of microchannels surrounded by intact skin. These micro-injuries heal completely within days. This replaces hyperpigmented or damaged cells at the surface with new ones. It also triggers cells deep in the dermis to increase collagen production. 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET MICRONEEDLING TREATMENTS?

You may notice improved skin brightness and texture within a few days after microneedling, but full results will take several weeks to develop. Microneedling results typically last about one year. We recommend a yearly touch-up treatment to maintain your smooth, luminous results. 

Most people benefit from at least three microneedling sessions four to six weeks apart. Each session will increase collagen production and reveal younger, firmer skin. You can prolong your microneedling results by sun protection and establishing a good skincare routine. 

WHAT CAN MICRONEEDLING TREAT?

Microneedling is one of the most versatile aesthetic treatments available. It addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • fine lines and wrinkles
  • uneven skin tone
  • acne scars
  • hyperpigmentation
  • dullness
  • sun damage
  • age spots
  • mild skin laxity

With one maintenance treatment a year, microneedling offers a long-lasting way to treat your biggest skin issues. Your skin will look clear, youthful, and bright, and your increased collagen supply will fight signs of aging.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME WITH MICRONEEDLING?

Most people notice redness and sensitivity up to a few days after treatment. You will not need any downtime and can return to your usual routine immediately. However, avoid sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and harsh or irritating products for at least 48 hours. After microneedling, your skin can easily absorb beneficial treatments such as PRP. 

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR SKIN REJUVENATION WITH MICRONEEDLING?

Most people make good candidates for microneedling. Unlike lasers, microneedling does not use light energy, making it safe for all skin types and tones. Ideal candidates have reasonable expectations and no active skin conditions at treatment time. You might not be a good candidate if you are pregnant or tend to form keloids.
