Microneedling Boston, MA

Microneedling is a powerful collagen and elastin-inducing treatment that harvests the body’s natural mechanisms in the effective reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, skin discolorations, and imperfections. Microneedling can be used together with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or effective medical-grade serums may be applied. At Gentle Aesthetics Med Spa we use RejuvaPen technology to perform microneedling; it is a fast, effective, and safe automated device. Our nurses are thoroughly trained and certified. The procedure is performed in a sterile, comfortable environment. The treatment is uniquely designed for each client’s needs.

The microneedling procedure generally takes 30 minutes to about 1 hour to perform. Tiny needles penetrate the skin at dermal and epidermal layers to open up tiny channels and stimulate new cellular production. While the channels are open during the 10-15 minutes right after the procedure, rejuvenating serums, hyaluronic acid, or platelet-rich plasma are applied directly to the skin surface and are effectively absorbed by the skin. The delivery of the treatment is very fast and virtually painless. Right after the treatment the skin appears pinkish and may be slightly swollen for a couple of days. The body’s regenerative processes begin growth and repair right away and will continue for about 4 months. Multiple treatments are generally recommended for best results. Clients often choose to continue with microneedling as part of their maintenance plan and have the procedure performed 2-4 times a year.

By stimulating new cell growth and production of new collagen, patients achieve natural, subtle results of younger, healthier skin; as the body continues to repair itself, fine lines and wrinkles diminish, scarring and skin discolorations reduced, new cellular production results in fuller, smoother, glowing completion. Optimal results are achieved in 2-4 months.
