Microneedling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is an innovative way to refresh your appearance and correct common skin problems. This treatment creates microscopic pricks in your skin, which stimulates your body’s internal skin healing processes. Microneedling provides impressive results for aging skin and many other common skin problems.

What types of microneedling are there?

Coastal Dermatology & Medspa offers two types of microneedling:

Rejuvapen NXT®

The pen-shaped Rejuvapen NXT device creates tiny punctures in your skin. The needles trigger the growth of collagen, a protein that builds a support system below your skin to provide plumpness, and elastin, which provides skin elasticity.

Your body has plenty of collagen and elastin at birth, but it starts breaking down in your 30s, leading to lines, wrinkles, and thinner skin. Because Rejuvapen NXT triggers new collagen and elastin production, it brings on thicker, firmer, tighter, and younger-looking skin.

Microneedling also causes faster shedding of worn and damaged skin cells while stimulating healthy new cellular growth.

Rejuvapen NXT is unique among microneedling devices because it gives medical care providers more control of the needle depth and the delivery speed of the treatment. Further, it maximizes the absorption of active ingredients like growth factors and serums.

Pixel8-RF

Another microneedling choice at Coastal Dermatology & Medspa is the Pixel8-RF system. This leading-edge system combines traditional microneedling and bipolar radiofrequency energy.

Similar to the effect of the needles, bipolar radiofrequency energy remodels collagen and elastin while encouraging skin cell turnover. The combination of the two techniques creates the most dramatic microneedling results.

When should I consider microneedling?

Microneedling restores your skin if you have problems like:

• Sun damage
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Skin discoloration
• Rough texture
• Uneven tone
• Acne scars
• Sagging skin
• Large pores

Microneedling also treats skin problems in other areas, like stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.

If you’re looking for significant results that can last as long as a year, Rejuvapen and Pixel8-RF could be ideal for you. Most patients need several treatments, at least one month apart, to reach their goals.
