You might've seen a new service was added to Luxury Lounge! If you haven't checked it out.... its Microneedling! What is Microneedling? In technical terms, microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production for improved skin texture and appearance. The small wounds cause your body to create more collagen and elastin which help your skin look younger. This process helps to treat scars, wrinkles, and other skin imperfections. This service is one that I recommend to almost all of my clients. It has incredible results and so many benefits for all. Microneedling can help improve the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. Microneedling can be layered on with a peel and microdermabrasion. Some side effects can include temporary redness, swelling, and skin flaking. These symptoms are normally gone within 48hrs if they do occur!
FAQ:
How long does the service last?
Around 30 minutes.
Does it hurt?
I would not say that its painful. Many clients have said that the forehead is most uncomfortable but the rest of the face feels totally fine which is very normal.
How many sessions do I need before I start to REALLY notice results?
Normally 4-6 sessions, so 1x a month for 6 months is what I recommend. Remember, your 6th service is always free!
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
Avoid using agents that may increase your skin’s sensitivity before your microneedling appointment. This may include topical retinoids and exfoliants.
How to properly take care of my skin after microneedling?
Since your skin channels are open and sensitive after your procedure, it’s best to avoid the following during your first 48hrs:
Sun exposure, skincare products with retinols, makeup, heavily sweating. Make sure you stay hydrated, use an antioxidant serum, use cooling masks if needed
