Microneedling

Introduction

Introduction to Microneedling

Microneedling is one of the newest crazes in cosmetics, and for good reason. This treatment triggers the body’s healing abilities to produce a range of cosmetic benefits. At the Georgia Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, led by Dr. Joshua R. Groves, we offer several microneedling treatments to men and women living in Houston County, Bibb County, Warner Robins, and Macon, GA.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a cosmetic technique that involves making small punctures into the skin’s surface. These tiny wounds will trigger a healing response from the body. The body will begin to produce collagen and elastin to heal these wounds. Since the injuries are quite minor, they heal very quickly, and the body then has an excess of elastin and collagen to supply to the skin. Collagen and elastin will continue to strengthen the skin, alleviating and preventing signs of aging, such as wrinkles, lines, and loose skin. We offer the following treatments to patients in and beyond Macon, GA:

A woman with dark brown hair is seen from the mid-chest up against a textured light gray concrete wall. Her head is turned slightly to the right as she gazes into the distance. Dramatic lighting casts strong highlights on her face and hair, emphasizing her smooth, light-toned skin and subtle, natural makeup with rosy-pink lips. She appears bare-shouldered. - Microneedling in Macon, GA
  • The traditional microneedling treatment is performed using a handheld device with multiple small needles. During treatment, this device is applied to the skin to inflict controlled wounds in the desired treatment area.

  • Morpheus8 treatment targets the deeper layers of the skin, rather than the surface. This contributes to much more significant improvements in signs of aging that can be seen throughout the face.

  • Suitable for all skin types, SkinPen can help fade acne scars, minimize the appearance of large pores, and create a younger-looking appearance. The best results are achieved after multiple treatments, spaced one month apart, with each session lasting approximately 30 minutes.

  • Sylfirm X is one of the most advanced radiofrequency energy (RF) microneedling treatments. As the first FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling device to offer both ultra-short pulsed wave mode and a continuous wave (CW) mode, Sylfirm X can treat a broad range of skin concerns, including vascular pigmentation issues, rosacea, melasma, solar lentigo, acne scars, and stretch marks. The continuous wave mode treats mild skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture and tone, and enlarged pores. The benefits of Sylfirm X can be further enhanced by exosome therapy, a recent innovation that utilizes growth factors, mRNA, and other active ingredients to promote skin revitalization and deliver optimal results with minimal downtime. Most patients experience visible results from Sylfirm X after just one session. However, three treatments spaced out anywhere from four to six weeks apart are recommended.

What to Expect on the Day of Microneedling Treatment

During our microneedling treatments in Macon, GA, we may apply a topical anesthetic to the skin to minimize discomfort. Then, the microneedling device will be used to make small punctures. This process can take up to an hour, depending on the device used and the areas being treated. Most patients notice results immediately after their first treatment, with continued results developing over the following weeks with additional sessions.

recovery

Microneedling Recovery

After microneedling, we recommend that patients avoid using makeup for one to two days. The skin may be dry or sensitive, so it is essential to keep it moisturized and protect it from the sun. Most patients are fully recovered after a week of treatment.
