When done right. Microneedling treatments can be transformative. An amazing skin treatment in its own right, treatments added immediately before or after a microneedling session can detract from results and healing time.
Whether you are looking for improvement with acne, skin discoloration, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, etc. there are ways to make microneedling treatments extremely useful for you. How to make sure this happens? Your best results come when microneedling is performed by a trained professional, using medically appropriate devices and products, and in combination with safe, optimized boosters. (At the very least, neglecting or skipping these improvements often means slower healing and less visible improvement; at worst, it could mean infection, scarring, and worsening of the appearance.)
Here are some of the ways our experts can improve each treatment for you:
1. Dermaplaning: CLEARING THE WAY
Before any microneedling session, our experts can perform dermaplaning previously to remove any dead skin cells at the surface level and the fine cloudy peach. This allows the microneedling to penetrate your skin more evenly and maximizes the absorption of any serums / post-treatment products applied. chemical peels, growth agents and post-treatment boosters. Dermaplaning also leaves your skin feeling luxuriously smooth instantly.
2. DiamondGlow: Deep Exfoliation + Hydration
Another treatment that is completely tailored to your skin’s needs, DiamondGlow facials go beyond simple exfoliation. By cleaning away surface debris and infusing professional-grade serums hand-selected for your skin’s goals, DiamondGlow prepares your skin to receive the full benefits of microneedling. The result? Improved texture, minimized irritation and radiant glow after treatment.
3. Chemical Peeling: Brightens, cleans and strengthens
Chemical peels to help with melasma, discoloration, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, etc. can be applied before or after microneedling depending on your goals:
- Before: When applied immediately before a microneedling treatment, the needles help make sure the chemical peel is pressed into the skin for deeper impact and more dramatic results.
- After: When applied immediately after microneedling, the chemical peel solution can use the newly created micro-channels as an easy route to the deeper layers of your skin. Again, this helps to enhance the effectiveness and results of the chemical peel.
Combined with microneedling, professional peels are safe, controlled and far more effective than over-the-counter products.
4. Exosomes & Growth Factors: Speed Healing & Strengthen Collagen
After microneedling, your skin is filled with newly created microchannels and prepared for regenerative treatments. Our specialist providers can apply exosomes or growth factors to accelerate healing, stimulate collagen and elastin production and improve skin firmness, tone and radiance. This step is impossible to repeat safely at home.
5. Customized Treatment Depths & Protocols
Every area of the face, neck, décolletage and body is different. When you receive a treatment with a trained practitioner, you will enjoy a customized and optimized microneedling treatment. Skin thickness varies in different areas of the face and depending on your unique skin condition and goals, you may have certain areas on your face that need more / less attention. A microneedling specialist can see the whole picture and tailor your treatment accordingly. Rather than using the same settings for your entire treatment, our providers will adjust the depth, frequency and aggressiveness for each area of your face. Whether it’s reducing fine lines, acne scars, or boosting an overall glow, About Face’s provider uses adjustable needle depths and treatment protocols based on your skin type, concerns and goals.
