Cosmetic microneedling

Microneedling Services

At Sage Functional Med, we offer microneedling as an advanced cosmetic procedure to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of your skin. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the skin's natural healing process to improve texture, tone, and overall complexion.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling involves the use of a specialized device with tiny, sterile needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and youthfulness.

How Does Microneedling Work?

During a microneedling session, Rachel will gently glide the microneedling device over the treatment area, creating thousands of micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more radiant.

Benefits of Cosmetic Microneedling for facial rejuvenation

Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits for your skin's health and appearance. Some of the key benefits include:

• Improved Skin Texture: Microneedling helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, resulting in smoother, more even skin texture.

• Enhanced Skin Tone: Microneedling promotes a more uniform complexion by reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots.

• Increased Skin Firmness: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps tighten and firm the skin, restoring a youthful, lifted appearance.

• Reduced Pore Size: Microneedling can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, giving the skin a smoother, more refined texture.

• Improved Product Absorption: The micro-channels created during microneedling enhance the absorption (up to 97%) of skincare products, allowing for better penetration of active ingredients and maximizing their efficacy. 

• Minimal Downtime: Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime, making it suitable for individuals with busy lifestyles.

Microneedling Details

• Microneedling is gentle and Rachel combines it with full body acupuncture to assist in relaxation during the treatment. 

• While it generally takes 3 treatments for noticeable results, many people notice an improvement in skin complexion and radiance after the first treatment! 

• For more advanced skin with deeper set lines, it is recommended to plan for 6 treatments in total for maximum results.  
  For best results, treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

• Benefits continue even after the treatments finish and results can last up to 3-5 years.
