What is
Microneedling?

Micro-needling, is an innovative cosmetic procedure that uses a device covered with tiny, shallow needles to cause ‘micro-injury’ to the skin. This prompts the skin to stimulate collagen production. In this way, it promotes smoother, softer, and more youthful-looking skin after just 3-5 treatments. Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa is proud to use Rejuvapen NXT, the most advanced FDA-cleared micro-needling device available.

Which Conditions
Can Be Treated with Micro-Needling?

Although micro-needling was initially proposed as a treatment for scars and wrinkles, it has shown to be an effective treatment for:

  • Acne Scars
  • Global Skin Rejuvenation, Lines and Wrinkles, and Improvements in Skin Tone and Laxity
  • Stretch Marks
  • Epidermal Pigment Reduction
  • Decreasing Pore Size
  • Improving Skin Texture
During your consultation at Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa, Dr.Rachel can answer any question you may have about the procedure and go over the details of the surgery to let you know if you are a good candidate for chin augmentation in North Shore.

What to Expect
During Your Microneedling Session

Though treatment is relatively painless we typically start by applying a topical anesthetic cream twenty to thirty minutes before the procedure. This allows for a comfortable experience for most people. Generally, patients report feeling just the slight vibration of the device during the procedure. The total treatment time depends on which part of your body we are treating. For the face, a typical appointment takes about an hour.

Post-Treatment:
What to Expect After Microneedling

Micro-needling is a non-surgical treatment that requires very little downtime. Patients should be able to resume their normal activities right away. There will be some redness and mild sensitivity. These issues should subside within 24 hours. Avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours to avoid irritating the skin and breakouts. There may also be some slight swelling and a bit of peeling.

Three to five treatments are usually required for best results. For more severe scarring and stretch marks, up to six treatments may be needed. The number of treatments can be determined based upon your individual goals and the overall health of your skin. As part of your anti-aging routine, you may opt for one to two procedures a year to help maintain the rejuvenating effects.
