What is Microneedling and How Does it Work?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that works by encouraging your skin to produce more collagen. The treatment uses a specialized device with ultra-fine needles to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the top layer of the skin. This process triggers the body's natural wound-healing response, which includes the generation of new, healthy collagen and elastin—the essential proteins that give skin its strength, structure, and elasticity.
At Arcana Med Spa, we elevate this process by infusing the skin with advanced, pharmaceutical-grade serums during the treatment. The micro-channels created by the needles allow for significantly deeper penetration and absorption of these powerful ingredients. We customize each treatment with targeted Toskani Med cocktails, including the revolutionary Lumicen PDRN, which uses Salmon DNA to accelerate cellular repair and renewal. This combination of mechanical stimulation and potent topical solutions makes our microneedling treatment exceptionally effective for deep rejuvenation.
What are the Benefits of a Microneedling Treatment?
Choosing a microneedling treatment at Arcana Med Spa provides a host of benefits for improving your skin's overall health and appearance. Our approach is tailored to your specific concerns, ensuring you receive the most effective and appropriate care in a safe, professional environment.
Key microneedling benefits include:
- Improved Skin Texture: The treatment is highly effective at smoothing rough patches and creating a softer, more refined skin surface.
- Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps to plump the skin from within, diminishing the appearance of aging lines.
- Minimized Appearance of Scars: It is particularly effective for reducing the visibility of acne scars and other textural imperfections by breaking down old scar tissue and encouraging new, healthy tissue to form.
- Reduced Pore Size: As collagen around the pores is stimulated, the skin tightens, causing pores to appear smaller and less noticeable.
- Enhanced Product Absorption: The treatment creates pathways for active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, boosting the effectiveness of your entire skincare regimen.
- Brighter, More Even Skin Tone: Microneedling can help address issues like sun damage and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more luminous and uniform complexion.
What to Expect During a Microneedling Appointment
Your experience at Arcana Med Spa is designed to be as comfortable and relaxing as it is effective. Your appointment will begin with a consultation to discuss your skin concerns and goals. As an RN-led practice, we will review your skin's condition and medical history to ensure microneedling is the right choice for you.
Next, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Once the numbing cream has taken effect, our skilled practitioner will gently move the microneedling device across your skin. Amber uses the DP4 pen, a powerful, highly effective, and FDA-approved device that creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and rejuvenating your complexion.
During your procedure, Amber will also apply a customized serum, such as the regenerative Lumicen Salmon DNA cocktail from Toskani Med. The treatment itself typically takes about 30-45 minutes. Afterward, your skin will appear pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn. Amber will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to protect your skin and maximize your results.
