Micro Needling gets results without the downtime associated with ablative lasers. It’s non invasive and safe for all skin types. Use it in combination with growth factors for even better results and less downtime.
Automated MicroNeedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is used for treating the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance. During the procedure we create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in improvement of the appearance of softer wrinkles. For best results a series of treatments are recommended. For a procedure that gives great results with a single treatment consider looking into the Co2 Fractional Resurfacing Treatment.

When Will I See The Results?
Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results can continue to improve up to 6 months after a treatment as collagen production continues
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Some patients only require a single treatment once per year to achieve reasonable results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 4-6 week intervals. At Well Medical Arts we have developed 3 and 6 treatment packages that can cut the cost of individual treatments down significantly.
