Microneedling at Caleyo Wellness

Reveal Your Skin's Natural Radiance

Microneedling is an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body's natural healing process to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance. At Caleyo Wellness, we utilize advanced microneedling techniques to help you achieve smooth, youthful, and vibrant skin.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This natural regenerative process effectively addresses various skin concerns, leaving you refreshed, healthier-looking skin.

How Does Microneedling Work?

During a microneedling session, fine, sterile needles create microscopic punctures in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, significantly boosting collagen and elastin production. The process rejuvenates the skin by promoting cellular turnover, reducing imperfections, and creating a youthful, even complexion.

Caleyo Wellness combines microneedling with other treatments, such as topical serums, Chemical Peel, Salmon Sperm, AnteAge Growth Factors, or PRP, to enhance the results. We can explain additional treatment options and their estimated costs.

Preparing for Your Microneedling Procedure

To ensure the best results, follow these preparation guidelines:

Avoid Sun Exposure: For at least 24-48 hours before your microneedling treatment, avoid direct sun exposure to prevent sunburn or irritation. If you must be outdoors, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Discontinue Certain Skincare Products:

  • Retinoids (Retinol): Stop using products containing retinoids, retinol, or Vitamin A derivatives for at least 3-5 days prior to your treatment, as they can make your skin more sensitive.

  • Acidic Products: Avoid products with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or other exfoliating acids for a few days leading up to the procedure.

  • Exfoliants: Skip physical or chemical exfoliants for about 3-5 days prior to the treatment to reduce irritation.

Avoid Blood Thinners: For at least 1 week before your microneedling session, avoid taking blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E, as they may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding during the procedure.

Avoid Waxing, Shaving, or Hair Removal: Do not wax, thread, or use depilatory creams on the treatment area 2-3 days before the session to avoid irritation or sensitivity.

Clean, Makeup-Free Skin: On the day of your microneedling appointment, ensure that your skin is clean and free of any makeup, creams, or oils. This allows the treatment to be performed on bare skin, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before your appointment to help keep your skin hydrated, as well-hydrated skin tends to heal more quickly and efficiently after treatment.

Inform Your Provider: If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any skin conditions (such as eczema, active acne, or rosacea), inform your practitioner beforehand, as microneedling may not be recommended in some instances.

Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Refrain from drinking alcohol or caffeinated beverages 24 hours before your session, as they can increase the likelihood of swelling or sensitivity during the procedure.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Session

  • Step 1: Skin evaluation and consultation with our expert providers.

  • Step 2: Apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort.

  • Step 3: The microneedling device gently moves across your skin, creating precise micro-channels.

  • Step 4: Post-treatment serum or mask is applied to soothe and hydrate the skin.

The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, and you may experience mild redness or sensitivity afterward, similar to a mild sunburn.

Aftercare Recommendations

  • Avoid makeup and skincare products for at least 24 hours.

  • Use gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturizers to nourish your skin.

  • Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect your skin during the healing process.

  • Avoid strenuous activities and excessive heat exposure for 48 hours post-treatment.

FAQS

  • People typically use microneedling to treat scars, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks.

  • Results may vary based on the severity of the skin concern, its location, and the treatment plan used.

    A doctor may recommend four to six treatment sessions. The skin may continue increased collagen production for 3 to 6 months after microneedling treatment.

  • Treatment plans vary from person to person, but research has shown mild improvement in post-acne scarring after just two microneedling sessions.

    After six sessions, people saw moderate improvement in their skin texture and good enhancement of scar appearance.

  • Microneedling and Botox have different purposes. Microneedling can treat scars, hyperpigmentation, and large pores by increasing the skin’s production of collagen. Botox injections prevent certain muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles on the skin.
