Microneedling

What is Amiea Med Microneedling

Amiea Med Microneedling is a minimally invasive approach designed to stimulate percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), a process that promotes natural collagen production within the skin. Amiea Med has innovatively developed clinical Microneedling as an effective method for enhancing the aesthetic appearance of acne scars with anti-aging effects.

How does Microneedling work?

As the needle penetrates the skin, it causes localized damage and induces slight bleeding by rupturing small blood vessels. Percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) is a direct outcome of the skin’s natural response to injury. Platelets are automatically released, initiating the typical inflammatory process. This, in turn, stimulates the natural release of growth factors and the infiltration of fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing additional collagen and elastin. The newly produced collagen is deposited in the upper dermal layer, positioned just below the basal layer of the epidermis. This process leads to the improvement of skin texture and the reduction of scars.

What to expect

The level of discomfort during the procedure can vary depending on the treatment area and the needle length employed. In certain instances, the procedure can be quite tolerable and even painless. Some clients might experience a mild, prickling sensation. To enhance comfort, our Skin Technician will apply a numbing cream before the treatment. It’s worth noting that depending on the intensity of the procedure, there may be some minimal bleeding and the possibility of minor bruising.

FAQ

How long is a Microneedling appointment ?

A Microneedling session typically requires around 30-60 minutes or longer to complete (not considering prep and aftercare), with the precise duration influenced by the specific treatment area. The overall treatment duration, including application of topical numbing, may vary depending on the treatment area.

Is there any downtime after Microneedling?

Micro-needling doesn’t necessitate any mandatory downtime. It’s common for your skin to appear red post-treatment, and this is an expected part of the process. Typically, the redness diminishes within a timeframe of one to 48 hours, with some minor swelling possible in certain areas. A few days after your treatment, you might notice some dryness in your skin. Most patients are able to return to their daily routines, while others prefer to schedule their treatment over the weekend to allow for any initial skin changes to settle.

How often can I get Microneedling done?

While some patients may find that a single annual treatment suffices for achieving optimal results, it is generally advisable for most individuals to undergo a series of 3-4 treatments, with intervals of approximately 4-8 weeks between each session.

When will I begin to see results?

Patients can begin to observe skin tightening and improved skin tone within one to two weeks following their initial session. In cases where there are deeper imperfections, the results may be more gradual, necessitating additional treatments. Given that Microneedling initiates the production of new collagen and elastin, these results continue to develop and become more pronounced over a period of up to six months.
