Healing the skin from within:
FAQs about the power of microneedling with DermaFrac® C
There are numerous ways to encourage fresh, undamaged skin cells at the office of White Onyx Medical Weight Loss and Aesthetics. Likewise, our team in Gardner, Massachusetts, offers numerous solutions to heal and repair the skin from within by resolving signs of aging deep within the structural components that support defined contours and a smooth, radiant complexion. One of the most innovative ways we can accomplish healing and renewing from within is with the microneedling service.
What is microneedling?
Also characterized as Collagen Induction Therapy, microneedling uses special devices to form small channels or wounds in the skin. These devices are equipped with hundreds of very fine needles. The skin is gently and painlessly punctured to stimulate a healthy healing process. In the days, weeks, and months following treatment, your body heals itself by producing collagen and elastin at the affected treatment sites. Since these proteins are responsible for the skin’s structure, firmness, and elasticity, as they are produced, you will gradually notice a smoother, more refined, and better-defined appearance.
What device do you use?
Our providers use the DermaFrac® C system. This wand-like device features vacuum suction, special applicator tips, and dozens of micro-needles to precisely yet gently treat wrinkles, dry skin, brown spots, laxity, scars, and other signs of sun damage and aging. These and other capabilities support optimal and deep treatment, as well as utmost safety and comfort during the process. Furthermore, we can boost the results from treatment by using special serums. These serums may be applied to the micro-channels, allowing for deep penetration into the skin and maximum effectiveness. These serums and other skin-boosting products can truly work as intended and designed.
What can I expect after microneedling treatment?
Treatment is not invasive. So you can get back to your activities and work without any problems. It is also an “instant gratification” treatment. Some patients notice immediate improvements in the look and feel of their skin. They gradually notice that these results look better with time and as more collagen and elastin are produced. The full results may be seen in around six months. The total number of treatment sessions to get those results depends on the nature and severity of the skin concern(s) we are treating, and multiple sessions may be necessary to repair deep scars.
How long do results last?
White Onyx Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics works closely with our patients from across the Gardner, MA, area to maximize and sustain the results of microneedling treatment. We can advise on everything from “touch-ups” to skincare products to avoid future or further sun damage. If your skin is “mature” and heavily damaged, it may be necessary to schedule maintenance treatments three to four times a year.
Whatever the case may be, there is most certainly a high-reward, low-risk therapy to bring out your skin’s absolute balanced and beautiful best. Call us at (978) 763-4649 to request your consultation and start the journey to a rejuvenated look and renewed outlook today.
