What is microneedling and who does microneedling near me? First things first what is microneedling and what should you look for? Microneedling is a procedure performed by medical professionals and is a minimally invasive procedure designed to improve the appearance of your skin. A word of caution, many non-medical professionals offer micro needling, but you should be very careful in the provider you select. If you choose a medspa, ensure you are dealing with a credentialed medical professional such as a nurse practitioner. You should avoid any organization that offers microneedling where the provider does not have a medical background. For the procedure, your healthcare provider uses thin needles throughout the specified area to make microscopic indentations through the top superficial layer of your skin. The damage caused by the needles stimulates collagen production, which is a key part of your skin’s healing process. Collagen decreases with age, and stimulating its production via micro needling helps keep your skin younger and smoother-looking. At Body Scientific Aesthetics, most of our clients get microneedling on their face, but we also treat other areas, our second most popular treatment area is the neck as patients enjoy the reduction of visible lines at the neck and drooping skin in the neck area. Another area that our clients request for treatment is decollete. Microdermabrasion and micro needling are not limited to these areas, our nurse practitioner can treat other areas where you notice your skin has been damaged or where you feel your skin has visible signs of aging.
