Microneedling has exceptional benefits, encouraging fresh skin and growing hair. At Yang Institute of Integrative Medicine, we combine microneedling services with enhancing therapies like peptide therapy. These complementary treatments can significantly boost the results of your microneedling session.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the skin’s natural healing process by creating controlled micro-injuries. Using tiny, fine needles, practitioners gently puncture the outer layer of your skin (the epidermis), triggering the production of collagen and elastin, the essential proteins that support skin structure, firmness, and elasticity. This process not only improves skin texture and appearance, but also helps revitalize the skin and stimulate hair follicles for growth.
How Our Microneedling Therapy Process Works
At the Yang Institute, we offer efficient, minimally invasive microneedling sessions tailored to your specific needs. The duration of each treatment varies depending on the area being treated but you can typically expect to be in the office for thirty minutes to one hour.
Before beginning, we apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. The numbing ointment requires 30 minutes to an hour to take effect, depending on the size and location of the area being treated. Once the skin is numb, we use advanced electrical microneedling equipment to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process may cause slight bleeding, which is typically brief and can be soothed with a cooling mask or topical treatment.
To maximize the benefits of your microneedling session, we incorporate additional therapies such as peptides. These therapies support skin regeneration, accelerate healing, and enhance the overall results.
