Microneedling

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a popular skin treatment that stimulates your body’s healing capabilities. The Mehrshid Tohid Acupuncture team uses an innovative device that glides dozens of thin, tiny needles across your complexion.

The micro-wounds it creates aren’t visible to the naked eye but trigger your body to send healing compounds to the injured areas and create more collagen. The result is skin that looks and feels healthier with a noticeable glow.

What skin concerns does microneedling address?

Microneedling can revitalize your complexion. It’s often a treatment for skin imperfections like:

• Acne scars
• Lines and wrinkles
• Pigment irregularities
• Sun damage
• Large pores
• Stretch marks

Microneedling has the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It’s safe for all skin types and can be applied just about anywhere on the face and body. 

What happens during a microneedling session?

When you come to Mehrshid Tohid Acupuncture, Mehrshid cleanses your skin and applies a light, topical anesthetic to numb you. Mehrshid glides the tool over your skin. She may pause briefly in areas of irregular texture or pigmentation.

You might feel tingling and slight prickling sensations during the session, but most people tolerate the procedure quite well. After your session, you’re welcome to go on with your daily activities. However, you may have some redness and swelling, so you may choose to lay low for a day or two to allow your skin to fully clear.

When do I see the benefits of microneedling treatments?

After the initial redness and swelling from treatment go down after a few days, you notice your skin looks vibrant and bright. Over the course of several months, these benefits improve as new skin cells form and more collagen develops.

You can benefit from just one microneedling session, but if you have specific skin complaints like acne scars or lines and wrinkles, Mehrshid may recommend a series of treatments scheduled over several weeks.
