MICRO-NEEDLING PROCEDURE FOR THE TREATMENT OF
AGING - WRINKLES - SCARS

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is used to treat and improve conditions like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, and pigment issues. It's also called skin needling and microchanneling. Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. At St Croix Skincare we use the microneedling device called SkinPen Precision.

WHAT IS SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING?

SkinPen, by Bellus Medical, is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance for six months after your last treatment – and step out with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Am I an ideal candidate for microneedling?

Microneedling is safe for almost anyone. The only contraindications are for those who currently have active acne, infections, or wound-healing issues such as keloid scarring. In those cases, St Croix Skincare will advise you to wait until you're medically cleared to have treatments. Contact us to schedule a free consultation with one of our qualified and microneedling trained professionals to address your skincare concerns.

How painful is miconeedling?

Microneedling procedures aren't painful, but they can be uncomfortable, especially for patients who may be afraid of needles. However, a topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment. Microneedling uses tiny needlepoints to create punctures within the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin; doing so helps encourage the body's collagen and elastin production, leading to younger and smoother-looking skin. Contact us to schedule a free consultation with one of our qualified and microneedling trained professionals to address any potential concerns regarding pain.

How many sessions of microneedling will I need?

In terms of how many microneedling sessions are needed to see results, patients usually need 4 to 8 treatments. If you're looking to improve scar reduction, you'll likely need 3-6 treatments and collagen induction usually requires 3 treatments as a starting point. It doesn't take long to see the benefits of a microneedling treatment, but it may take upwards of 7 to 8 sessions to see your skincare concern transform.

There are three phases to the wound-repair process:

Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
