Microneedling in Oak Brook & Chicago, IL

Microneedling Treatments

Microneedling has become a popular treatment for its ability to safely improve the appearance of the skin without synthetic solutions, surgical techniques, chemicals, or adverse reactions.

Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy and works by initiating a healing process within your own body. We offer two microneedling treatments, traditional microneedling with the SkinPen® and RF microneedling with the Vivace® Microneedle RF Device.

SkinPen® Microneedling

SkinPen® Microneedling is an FDA-approved device that uses single-use, sterile cartridges full of tiny, thin needles to create micro-wounds in the top layer of the skin, which result in microchannels that reach into the deeper layers. The body perceives these microchannels as injuries and heals them by increasing collagen and elastin production.

In doing so, the body naturally perfects the skin. It improves the most common skin imperfections and signs of aging, including hyperpigmentation, large pores, uneven skin tone, textural irregularities, lines, wrinkles, poor quality skin, and skin laxity. The treatment temporarily improves the skin’s absorption rate, allowing it to better absorb any anti-aging topical products applied during and after treatment.

RF Microneedling With the Vivace® Microneedle RF Device

RF microneedling uses a combination of needles and radiofrequency energy to stimulate natural collagen production. This treatment is similar to standard microneedling, but with the added radiofrequency energy, it can target collagen production with different technology.

Radiofrequency energy has become known as the gold standard of skin care treatments because it tightens and firms the skin by causing existing collagen to contract and stimulating the body to produce new collagen in the treatment area.

Adding Nanoparticle Technology to Your Treatment

During each of these treatments, the needles create microchannels that increase the skin’s absorption rate. We can enhance your results by capitalizing on this temporary increased absorption rate with growth factors and anti-aging topical serums. You’ll have the option of adding PRP, which stands for platelet-rich plasma, to your treatment as well as nanoparticle technology.

The Benefits of PRP and Nanoparticle Technology

Both PRP and nanoparticle technology contain growth factors that can enhance the treatment results when applied during and after the treatment. PRP is derived from your blood. It is the healing component of your blood that, when isolated and prepared into a topical form, can further stimulate collagen production, increase cellular renewal rate, and deliver anti-aging benefits to the skin.

Nanoparticle technology works similarly and contains anti-aging ingredients and growth factors that can help the cells better communicate with each other to heal themselves and restore health and youth to the skin.

Enhancing Your Results With Combination Treatments

While both of these treatments will help change your skin for the better, there are ways to enhance your results. We can do this by incorporating combination treatments into your session. Chemical peels are the perfect add-on treatment to a microneedling or RF microneedling treatment plan. They can help repair the skin by removing the excess layer of dead skin cells and dissolving them with a combination of skin-safe acids.

By removing the dead skin cell barrier, chemical peels will prepare your skin for the needling process. Chemical peels take minutes to complete based on your desired or necessary depth of exfoliation. Once the chemical peel dissolves the layers of skin, we can perform the needling process and apply anti-aging topical products to better absorb into the skin’s deeper layers without having to pass through a layer of dead skin cells.
