MicroneedlingDenver

This couldn’t be further from the truth. The tools we use at RESTOR can penetrate about 6-12 times deeper into the skin than the devices you can use at home, so you can expect much more dramatic results with our microneedling in Denver.

At RESTOR, we apply a topical numbing cream, and you will not feel any discomfort during the procedure. Your skin may feel slightly tight and hot for a few hours after the procedure, but not painful. We also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for pain control if you desire.

Simply put – if you are aging, you are a great candidate. Since microneedling in Denver doesn’t use heat and is totally mechanical, it’s safe for all skin colors and types. Just make sure there aren’t any inflamed or infected areas on your skin, and if you have a cystic acne breakout, wait until it clears up before coming in for your appointment. We generally do not recommend microneedling for anyone with a history of Keloid scar formation or who has had radiation treatments on the area of the skin to be treated.

Microneedling isn’t exclusive to the face. The treatment can be done anywhere the skin on the body needs to be thickened, tightened, or repaired. The most common problem areas for most patients are the neck and decollete, but it can also be done on stretch marks or scars anywhere on the body.

This depends on the severity of the issue. If your skin is generally healthy and you receive regular medical-grade skin care, a few sessions a year of our microneedling in Denver will be enough to hold most aging at bay. Someone with more advanced aging or acne scarring should plan to do one session per month for 4 to 6 months, with a few sessions a year for maintenance after that.

We recommend that you apply nothing to your face for at least 6 hours after your microneedling. After that – you can wash and moisturize with the post-care products we provide to you. You can apply makeup after 24 hours. To ensure the right healing environment, we recommend only a neutral cleanser and sunscreen for the first two days. Avoid “active” ingredients such as glycolic acid, retinol, or exfoliants until the redness has faded from the skin. Exposure to sun should also be avoided or zinc-based sunblock should be used. After three to four days, you can resume your normal skincare regime.

Most people will begin to see results of microneedling in Denver within two weeks after the first appointment with continuous improvement for two months after the completion of their series. Scars respond more slowly than skin sagging, fine lines, and pore size. They also take more treatments to correct. It can take up to 6 months to 1 year to heal deep scars and severe stretch marks.

Unlike some lasers, medical microneedling is safe to use on all skin types and all skin colors.

Medical microneedling is considerably less costly than most resurfacing procedures, with less downtime. It can be performed on all skin types, including ethnic skin, and can be used on all areas of the face and body. This includes fragile skin, such as around the eyes, mouth, and neck. Medical microneedling can be safely repeated every 4-6 weeks until you achieve the desired results. For fine lines, we recommend starting with 3 treatments but with a minimum separation time of 4 weeks between treatments. For scar reduction, an average of 6 treatments are recommended. The number of treatments required will depend on how each individual responds to the treatments and the extent of the damage we are attempting to repair. After you achieve your goals with our microneedling in Denver, we recommend maintenance treatments about once a quarter to maintain your results and prevent new lines from occurring. Microneedling requires a series of 3-6 treatments spread out over several months, whereas a fractional laser requires only one or two treatments to get the same results.
