Cincinnati Microneedling Treatments

Our trained nurses will take pictures and apply a topical numbing for 20 minutes prior to your procedure beginning. Once the treatment begins, it will take about 20-40 minutes depending on the area we are treating.

Collagen and elastin are one of the primary building blocks of our skin and create what we like to call the “filling in the mattress of our skin.” As we age, however, our collagen production not only slows down but we also start to break down the collagen and elastin that we do have. The loss of collagen leads to fine lines, wrinkles, increased pore size, and overall aging.

During microneedling, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin which in turn triggers the production of collagen and elastin. Increasing your skin’s collagen and elastin leads to younger looking, thicker skin with improved texture.

Our providers will do everything they can to minimize discomfort with topical numbing creams we apply for you in the office. Microneedling feels like a rough cat’s tongue and is very tolerable.

You may see results after your first treatment, but most people will see more improvement after 3 treatments since collagen takes 3 months to visibly develop. Patients with deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, stretch marks, or any type of scars, usually require 6 or more treatments to achieve the desired results. We recommend 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

You may be pink and slightly swollen for the first 1 to 4 days but most people find that they can go to work the next day.
