MICRONEEDLING
Overview

Restore uses a safe, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that is chemical-free, known as microneedling, to stimulate the body's natural collagen production process. In this procedure, also called collagen induction therapy, tiny, sterile needles are used to make tiny punctures in the skin.

At Restore Advanced Medical Aesthetics, our aesthetic doctor in Durbanville provides professional microneedling treatments to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity. We also assist patients from Stellenbosch, Wellington and Paarl.

Types of microneedling

There are a few types of microneedling, and these include the following:

  • Mechanical Microneedling - Using tiny, short needles to make microscopic punctures in the skin, mechanical microneedling promotes collagen production and tightens skin.
  • Microneedling and PRP - Microneedling combined with PRP is a cosmetic procedure that stimulates collagen production by injecting platelets, one of the blood's richest components, by rolling tiny needles over the skin.

Your aesthetic doctor in Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Wellington and Paarl can recommend which method will be most effective for your specific skin needs.

What does this procedure entail?

With time or injury, the skin frequently loses collagen. During this procedure, a team member from Restore uses a hand-held device for microneedling. This device carries multiple tiny needles on one end. The needles create pathways for the skin's renewal of collagen and elastin by microscopically penetrating the skin. The tone and texture of your new skin tissue will be more uniform. Increased collagen production will aid in firming the skin by promoting the production of new tissue in the skin.

Our aesthetic doctors in Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Wellington and Paarl are skilled in advanced microneedling techniques to ensure precision, comfort, and optimal results.

What can I expect after this procedure?

Following the operation, your skin could become irritated and red. It's preferable to wait until your skin has healed before putting on makeup or cosmetic solutions. However, after the right amount of time has passed, which will be discussed with you by a team member at Restore, camouflaging cosmetics can assist in hiding the redness as it fades. Your skin regenerates new tissue quickly after microneedling, so you should start seeing effects within a few weeks. You may require additional complementary therapies and numerous microneedling sessions to sustain the desired outcomes of your treatment. A member of the Restore team will collaborate with you to create a strategy based on your unique goals.

Our aesthetic doctors in Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Wellington and Paarl will collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan suited to your goals and skin condition.
