Microneedling in Portsmouth NH: The Ultimate Collagen Boost You Need!
Hey there! I'm Dr. Ashley Dumont, and today I'm excited to let you in on a little secret for timeless, youthful skin - microneedling! It's your go-to treatment for tackling fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and more. I've witnessed some truly magical transformations with microneedling. So, grab a cup of tea (or coffee) and let's dive into the details about your biggest (little) anti-aging, collagen-boosting aesthetic treatment: microneedling!
Understanding Collagen and Skin Aging
Alright, let's talk collagen! Imagine it as the scaffolding that keeps our skin plump and bouncy. As the years go on, as early as our mid-20’s our collagen production starts to slow down and take a little bit of a break, and that's when we start noticing those unwanted laugh lines and tiny creases start to form. Of course fine lines and wrinkles are a completely natural part of the aging process, but who says we can't give our skin a little boost to slow down that process and age a little more gracefully, am I right?!
So many of my sweet patients come into my office with a twinkle in their eye, longing for a touch of that youthful glow they once had. Microneedling treatments (especially paired with platelet-rich-plasma, aka PRP) has been their game-changer. It’s like having your skin skin wake up from a deep, restful slumber, refreshed and ready to take on the world!
The Science Behind Microneedling
Now, let's get into the science of microneedling. Imagine micro-fine, painless needles gently puncturing the skin's surface. This highly controlled process kickstarts a cascade of our body’s natural responses to heal the skin, and creating more collagen and elastin in the process- which is exactly what we want! It's like a pep talk for your collagen-making cells, encouraging them to get back in the game. After only one microneedling treatment, the average patient can create nearly the amount of collagen they lost in the entire previous year! The beauty of this treatment is that it is a non-invasiveness and completely natural treatment- allowing the body to do what it does best, heal itself naturally (with the added benefit of boosting collagen and elastin of course for glowing, radiant skin!
Microneedling Benefits for Women of All Ages
Ladies, this one's for you! Microneedling is like a little secret weapon against those early signs of time's gentle touch. We all can’t be 18 anymore, but who says our skin can’t look 18 forever! Fine lines? Wrinkles? Acne scars? Uneven skin tone or texture Hyperpigmentation? They've got nothing on microneedling! It's like a reset button for your skin, giving you that soft, natural glow, and once you’ve got it, it’s yours to keep! Actually, it’s not just women who could benefit from microneedling, it can also help men with the same skin concerns and with reducing pore size! I know, I know- say less, Dr. Dumont!
Preparing for a Microneedling Session
Alright, before we dive into the microneedling experience at Coastal Thyme Holistic Skin + Wellness in Portsmouth, NH, a little prep is in order! Think of it like getting your garden ready before a sprinkle of rain. It's all about setting the stage for your skin to shine, and for you to get the best benefit from the treatment! It is just as important to take care of your skin before your treatment as it is after. It is important to avoid sun exposure, irritating active ingredients like retinol, other forms of Vitamin A, or alpha-hydroxy-acids 24 hours prior to your treatment. Make sure to tell your doctor your health history and all the medications you are currently taking as there are some health conditions and medications that don’t pair well with microneedling treatments. Most importantly, make sure to come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin!
The Microneedling Experience
Now, let's chat about what to expect during your microneedling session with us at Coastal Thyme Holistic Skin + Wellness. Even though microneedling is a comfortable treatment, we use topical numbing cream to make sure that you are extra comfortable during your treatment! Did you know that while your skin is numbing, you can get an IV vitamin infusion to get glowing from the inside-out and outside-in! Once your skin is numb, the microneedling treatment starts using our Skinpen. While the needles, while tiny, create microchannels, allowing the absorption of our powerful serums and creating collagen production all in one! While microneeding is mostly done on the face, you can also add on the neck and chest- since our neck shows our age! After your microneedling treatment, we apply a luxurious Biocellulose Restorative Mask to help restore your skin and boost your results after your treatment! If that’s not incredible enough, we also provide you with take home skincare to continue to boost your results! Want an added boost to your microneedling treatment? Add on platelet-rich-plasma aka liquid gold to enhance the growth factors and boost collagen and elastin even more!
Post-Microneedling Care and Recovery
Following a microneedling treatment, your skin deserves a little TLC. Your skin may look like you have a mild sunburn for the next 24-48 hours, but after 24 hours you can apply makeup as you normally would. Think of it as a gesture of gratitude for its resilience. Simple acts like gentle cleansing, proper hydration, and sun protection are important to keep your skin hydrated and healthy in the post-microneedling phase.
Long-Term Benefits and Maintenance
Here's the beauty of microneedling - its incredible benefits keep going over time! Collagen production becomes a steady, joyful rhythm, infusing your skin with renewed vitality. It's like a little secret pact between you and your skin, and your anti-aging powerhouse!
