Microneedling or CIT- Collagen Induction Therapy is a non-laser skin resurfacing to make your skin look plump, smooth, and glowing. Microneedling works by causing tiny needles to puncture the top layer of your skin so that it can trigger collagen and elastin production. Medical microneedling can help with fine lines and wrinkles especially when its combined with PRP or Exosomes. Our experienced Cosmetic MD who is a board certified physician performs all microneedling procedures for Acne Scars, aging skin, & Vampire procedures.

The most commonly reported complications of microneedling are redness, swelling, peeling, and a 24-hour sunburn appearance.

Some of the rare complications of microneedling include infections, bruising, and the breaking out of a cold sore. Therefore, Retin-A, Chemical peels, aspirin, and NSAIDs should be avoided for a week. If you suffer from cold sores, consider taking Prophylactic Valtrex.

In summary, SkinPen microneedling is a very safe skin rejuvenation treatment. Learn more about Micronnedling  and  Laser needling with Dr. Shanthala.
