What is microneedling?

Microneedling at Shira Laser uses effective, fast, nonsurgical technology to create tiny pinpricks in your skin that stimulate the body’s natural ability to regrow cells and heal. The treatment allows for instantly firmer, smoother, younger-looking skin and a revitalized glow. 

What are the benefits of microneedling?

Shira Laser’s microneedling treatments offer an array of advantages, including:

• Increased collagen and elastin production
• Tighter, smoother, even-toned skin
• Smaller pores
• Diminished acne scarring
• Skin revitalization
• Fewer stretch marks
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
• Less hyperpigmentation
• Diminished blackheads
• Younger-looking skin
• Self-confidence

Microneedling treatments are fast, comfortable, safe, and highly effective. They don’t require invasive procedures or downtime and can improve multiple treatment areas at once. 

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling improves the look of treated skin by inserting tiny needles into targeted tissues at a high rate of speed — often thousands of pricks per minute. When the needles enter tissues, they create microtears, or injuries, that trigger your body’s healing response and natural cell regeneration. This results in thicker skin layers and smoother contours. 

What happens during microneedling?

During microneedling, your Shira Laser specialist cleans the treatment areas and numbs them to avoid any discomfort. They use a microneedling device to create microinjuries in your skin while you relax comfortably. Your provider may also apply platelet-rich plasma (PRP) sourced from your blood or healing serums to your skin to further optimize new cell growth. 

What can I expect after microneedling treatments?

After you complete microneedling sessions at Shira Laser, you can expect temporary redness (like a sunburn), tenderness, swelling, or scabbing as the treated tissues heal. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protect it from the sun. Any redness often subsides within 1-2 days. You can generally resume a typical routine immediately after microneedling treatment. 

Your Shira Laser specialist may recommend a series of 4-8 treatment sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart to achieve superior, long-lasting results. The cell regeneration process may continue for up to 24 months after your treatment. 

Periodic repeat microneedling helps you maintain younger-looking skin. Your cosmetic specialist can let you know when to schedule your next visit.
