Taking the results of microneedling to the next level with Sculptra … when two therapies are better than one!
At Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center, we are redefining the anti-aging process with our approach to realistic, empowering “thoughtful aging” and our dynamic menu of nonsurgical services to bring out your best, healthiest, most radiant skin and self. One of the ways that we accomplish this is with in-office therapies such as microneedling. In another nod to our dynamism and innovation, Alina Wilson and our talented team in Tualatin, Oregon, may also complement microneedling with other skin-boosting (and collagen-boosting!) products like Sculptra®.
What is microneedling?
A minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, microneedling refers to the process of using tiny needles to penetrate and create “micro-punctures” or channels in the skin. In doing so, the process of healing is stimulated. Collagen is sent to the area to help close those controlled punctures, channels, or wounds. As this occurs, you will gradually notice an improvement in everything from the feel of your skin to the look of wrinkles, brown spots, and other common signs of aging and environmental damage.
Does it hurt?
We “get it.” Needle phobia is a valid concern. However, you will not be aware of these needles as they are fine and represent built-in, discreet components of a pen-like, handheld device. Besides, the process is well tolerated by most patients with a numbing agent. So, you won’t feel anything as the device is applied to your skin. In addition to this benefit, the side effects are temporary and typically limited to slight redness and pinpoint scabs. It is a safe process for all skin types, may be used on other parts of the body (not just the face), and requires little downtime.
How many treatments does it take to get results?
That depends! Within just a few treatment sessions, you may notice a considerable boost to the overall quality of your skin. The total number of sessions depends at least partly on how your skin/body responds to the treatment, the nature of your skin concerns, and your goals. Once those goals have been reached, our talented and kind team in Tualatin, Oregon, will also get you into a healthy schedule of maintenance sessions.
How do you Sculptra® with it – and why?
When paired with Sculptra®, we can take the microneedling results to the next level. As a “collagen stimulator,” the addition of topical Sculptra® during treatment stimulates collagen renewal at multiple levels of the skin. Two therapies are truly better than one when it comes to the ultimate in skin rejuvenation.
