Microneedling Services from Medically-Trained Skin Care Experts
Microneedling is an effective way to improve skin texture, reduce pore size, and heal scarring, fine wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Microneedling Before/After
What is Microneedling & How does it Work?
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive, skin care treatment that minimizes skin concerns and improves its texture and appearance.
At Organic Glow Medical Aesthetics we use a painless, single-use needle device that creates controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural healing response to break down old collagen. It then stimulates an immediate increase of nutrients and growth factors to the site and the activation of collagen and elastin synthesis.
Add an additional treatment area such as the neck and decollete, hands, or other areas that have unwanted scarring or hyperpigmentation for only $50.
Microneedling FAQs
How many microneedling treatments will I need?
You may need between 1 to 6 SkinPen microneedling treatments to achieve your desired results. If you’re trying to minimize your pores, you should only expect to need 1 treatment session. However, you may need up to 6 treatment sessions to erase moderate-to-severe wrinkles, folds, or scarring. We do offer discounted pricing when you buy packages of either 3 or 6 treatments.
Is microneedling safe?
Yes! SkinPen is the first FDA-approved microneedling device. Its patented and single-use sterile needle cartridge is built with safety in mind. It is surrounded by a custom designed bioSheath that acts as a barrier to prevent cross-contamination between procedures.
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling is performed by a professional with a topical anesthetic to numb the skin. The depth of treatment is adjustable, so it is safe to use on the entire face, as well as the neck and even the hands. Most clients rate the discomfort as 2 out of 10.
