Collagen Stimulator

What is Microneedling?

Dr. Arslanian likes to think of Microneedling as a magic wand for your skin! The tiny needles on the device work to stimulate your skin’s collagen production which in turn becomes a very effective way of smoothing out wrinkles, making the skin firmer, and reducing the appearance of acne scars. Patients with Alopecia can also turn to Microneedling for its potential to stimulate new hair growth. Plus, it’s not just about looking good – it can make your skin healthier by promoting new collagen and tissue growth. Microneedling is a very quick procedure, requires little to no downtime, and the treatment itself is customizable to help you in the pursuit of younger-looking skin.

What to expect on the day of a Microneedling treatment

To begin the process, Dr. Arslanian and his team will give you guidelines to prepare your skin for the treatment. These can include avoiding certain skin products and lotions.

On the day of your appointment, Dr. Arslanian will begin by cleaning your skin, then applying a numbing ointment, which can take anywhere from 30-45 mins to set in.

Once the skin is numb, the best part of the treatment begins! Dr. Arslanian methodically moves a hand-held roller or an electric tool over your skin, where the tiny needles move up and down to puncture the dermis. Depending on your skin issues, the needle size can be adjusted on the wand. Longer needles go deeper into your skin, which might be necessary if you have deep scars or pockmarks from acne.

Customized to fit your needs, a microneedling procedure typically takes anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours, depending on the surface area of your skin that needs addressing, and the type of issue you are looking for help with.

Once the procedure is complete, you will be able to resume regular activities and return home.

Microneedling recovery

Microneedling is like giving your skin a little workout but without surgery. The best part is that you won’t need a lot of downtime afterward. Some people might not need any time off at all and can just go back to their normal routine. After the procedure, your skin might look a bit irritated and red for a few days. That’s just your skin reacting to the impact of the tiny needles.

It’s a good idea to let your skin heal before putting on makeup. Also, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so make sure to use sunscreen. Focus on this skin care regimen with intensity for a week following your procedure, and try to integrate it into your daily routine long-term to enjoy long-lasting results.

Microneedling Cost

How much does Microneedling cost in Atlanta, GA?

The cost of Microneedling in Atlanta will be determined by the specifics of your treatment. Considerations include the length of needles being used, the skin issues being treated, and the surface area that needs to be worked. After Dr. Arslanian assesses these factors and creates a treatment plan for you, our patient coordinators will get in touch to let you know the price you can expect to pay, and get you started by scheduling your appointment.
