Celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie are fans of the innovative treatment, Micro-Needling.

Micro-Needling induces Collagen Production, which improves skin tone/texture, and reduces pigmentation, wrinkles, pore size, acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks.

Micro-Needling

(Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT):

Micro-Needling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that naturally helps trigger collagen and elastin synthesis within the skin; working from the inside out, with maximum results and minimum down-time. It is a procedure that uses a handheld machine that creates micro-channels into skin. The idea is that the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue, resulting in smoother, firmer and more even toned skin.

Targeted areas:

Micro-Needling at Luxe Spa is used on your face to target:

  • Premature skin aging
  • Acne scars
  • Hyperpigmentation or age spots/sun spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Large pores
  • Other types of scars
  • Reduced skin elasticity
  • Uneven skin tone

Safety:

  • Micro-Needling is minimally invasive, requiring no downtime. You’ll experience minor redness and irritation that can last a few hours, and up to a few days after the procedure. Ask your esthetician about what should be expected with your particular skin type.
  • The procedure is not safe for people who use certain acne medications and women who are pregnant.

Procedure:

  • Before getting started, your esthetician will use a topical cream to keep you comfortable. During the procedure, your esthetician makes small channels under the skin with pen-like tool. Your esthetician will move the tool evenly across your skin so the new skin that rejuvenates will be even, as well.
  • Your esthetician will then apply a mask or serum, based on the service and your skin needs, and will suggest a specific skincare product to use post-treatment to encourage and enhance results. In total, you can expect to be in your appointment for approximately 1 hour.
  • You can continue with normal life 4-hours after the procedure. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen should be worn.
  • After Micro-Needling, your skin works fairly quickly to rejuvenate new tissue. You should see results within a couple of weeks.
