Rediscover your skin’s natural beauty with our microneedling treatments. This innovative procedure awakens your skin by encouraging collagen production, making your skin smoother and more even. It also helps reduce scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, leaving you with a radiant glow. Rejuvenate and revitalize your skin with microneedling at Minnie Street Aesthetics.

Microneedling is a professionally-administered, skin-rejuvenating procedure that works to boost collagen production for healthier, better-looking skin.

The skin repairs itself to improve conditions like scars, wrinkles and lines, and sun-damaged skin by jumpstarting the collagen-producing process. Microneedling uses tiny stainless steel needles stamped onto the skin to create micro-injuries (safe, controlled injuries that incite the skin’s healing process).

Quickly inserting needles into the skin at appropriate depths (anywhere from .5 millimeters to 2.5 millimeters or deeper, depending on location and depth of the area being treated) creates tiny punctures on the skin’s surface. These open channels allow specific serums and ingredients used during the treatment to penetrate deeper into the skin for optimal results. As these wounds heal over the coming days and weeks, the skin becomes smoother, plumper, and more youthful.

*** Individuals who have been treated with Accutane or similar products in the last 6 months should not receive this treatment. In addition, individuals who are on blood thinners, have active acne or open lesions in the treatment area, or have been treated for skin cancer in the desired treatment area are not candidates.
*** Individuals who are pregnant or lactating should not receive this treatment.

Anywhere you have skin!

The entire face is fair game when it comes to microneedling. However, microneedling should not be done directly on the lips or eyelids. The procedure also works well on the scalp (to incite healthy hair growth), on areas of the body where stretch marks are present, and anywhere where scars may be present, like the legs, chest, or arms.

Microneedling offers a plethora of benefits which is why it’s used to improve everything from hair loss to acne scars and stretch marks. One of the immediate benefits is the glowy, dewy appearance it gives the skin, which is seen in the days following the treatment and usually lasts a few weeks. However, the effects are cumulative, so the more you do it, the brighter and more glow the complexion appears. Besides a luminous glow, microneedling also provides other skin benefits such as:

• A plump, healthy appearance
• Stimulating dormant hair follicles to jumpstart hair growth
• Reduce the appearance of scars and acne scars
• Increase collagen production
• Diminish the appearance of fines lines, wrinkles, and age spots
• Improve the appearance of stretch marks
• Enhances the skin’s texture
• Improves discoloration and hyperpigmentation
• Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores

This version of microneedling is the most basic form of microneedling here at Minnie Street Aesthetics. It utilizes a motorized pen to create hundreds of microscopic controlled skin wounds at varying depths depending on the thickness of skin in the area being treated. Creating safe micro-injuries on the skin’s surface prompts the skin to heal and stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture and tone. After the microneedling has been performed, a SkinCeuticals© sterilized Biocellulose Restorative Sheet Mask will be applied to provide instant comfort and a protective barrier that mimics the skins natural barrier.

Often called the “Vampire Facial” in pop culture, the Midnight Sun Facial combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This combination treatment works well for those whose skin requires even more collagen production. It also enhances skin tone, diminishes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sunspots, and works better to improve acne scars than microneedling alone.

They impart the same microneedling component as the Basic Microneedling Treatment. However, once the microneedling portion is complete, a matrix containing plasma extracted from your blood is applied directly to the skin. The skin’s open channels allow the growth factors’ anti-aging effects to better absorb into the skin for more dramatic results.

The Aurora Exosome Facial includes the application of Benev® Exosomes, the latest and most advanced stem cell and exosome serum, along with microneedling. Exosomes are responsible for cell to cell communication. The Aurora Exosome Facial harnesses the power of over 2 billion lyophilized exosomes, potent growth factors, peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids, and vitamins. This leads to faster healing after microneedling PLUS even more stimulation and regeneration of collagen and elastin. One treatment using Benev® Exosomes is going to give you the results of three regular microneedling treatments!

Please wash your face with a gentle cleanser and do not wear any lotion, perfume, or serums when you go to your appointment. If you are wearing make-up that day, please remove make-up before your appointment. You will want to refrain from using abrasive skincare products, such as retinol, exfoliants, topical antibiotics and acids, for at least 48 hours before microneedling. No area to be treated should receive any type of chemical peel for two weeks before or after microneedling. Accutane should be discontinued 6 months prior to receiving treatment and should not be used during your course of treatment. It is crucial to avoid harmful UV ray exposure from direct sunlight and tanning beds for the five days leading up to your treatment. Microneedling cannot be performed on sunburned skin.

Since the skin is ‘open,’ it’s best to follow a simple, bland regimen for the first 3 days post procedure. Wash the treated area gently twice a day with a gentle cleanser. Use tepid water only. Apply a soothing, healing moisturizer or oil as often as needed.

It’s best to stick to gentle, healing moisturizers and ointments, a simple hyaluronic acid serum, and sunscreen during the healing phase. Moisture is key to healthy healing. At Minnie Street Aesthetics we offer a SkinCeuticals© Post Injection Package that is PERFECT.

The skin will emerge pink or red following microneedling. The redness will subside in the first 24 hours after the treatment, and by day two, the skin may look flushed or slightly pink. This will continue to fade in the next few days. It may also feel somewhat tight or dry and flake off during the first few days after microneedling.

We recommend that you begin with 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of treatments required will depend on how each individual responds to the treatments, and the extent of the imperfections prior to treatment. Microneedling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, legs, etc). Although most people will begin to see results after their very first appointment, results are cumulative with more treatments.
