MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is a cosmetic skin procedure that pricks the skin with tiny sterilized needles to help generate more collagen and elastin to give you healthy and younger-looking skin. This treatment tones, smooths, and firms your skin. This minimally invasive treatment is generally done to the skin around the face, but it can be used all over the body to help rejuvenate the skin. The tiny needles create small pricks, creating controlled skin damage. The skin will stimulate healing of the microscopic punctures and the inflammation helps produce new collagen. Our Zapped Beauty experts are here to help you achieve radiant-looking skin!

Microneedling devices use fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, which leads to the production of new collagen and elastin.

Within the first few days of your Microneedling procedure, it is common to see skin irritation and redness. Depending on a person's natural response to the treatment, you may experience mold swelling and bruising as well. 3-5 days after treatment, your skin may begin to feel rough and you may notice a few marks on the skin as well. One of the most important things you can do after Microneedling is protecting yourself from the sun at all costs. You will experience UV sensitivity and it is generally recommended to avoid tanning beds and sun exposure for a week or so. Be sure to wear sunscreen! However, recovery time is generally minimal and in order to maintain your results, you’ll need at least a few sessions every 4-6 weeks. Our Microneedling experts at Zapped will be sure to give you all the information you need to care for your skin after treatment.

RF Microneedling is a state-of-the-art microneedling treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to create heat in the skin. This heat helps to further stimulate the body's natural healing response, leading to even more collagen and elastin production.

The main benefit of Microneedling is the increase in collagen production, but there are many other benefits that help make your skin glow! Microneedling has grown so popular because of how it can reduce aging and bring dull and struggling skin back to its youthful form. After just one treatment at Zapped, you will have noticeable effects and boost the appearance of your skin's complexion for months to follow!

One of the most common questions we get at Zapped is how often should I get microneedling? Everyone’s skin is different but we generally recommend starting to space out your treatments for 4-6 weeks as your skin needs time to heal. The facial cellular turnover cycle can take 4-6 weeks and is recommended to wait until your next treatment. This also gives your skin time to shed dead skin cells.

Microneedling is a safe and gentle procedure with little to no downtime.

The microneedling treatment that’s best for you will depend on a number of factors including skin type and skin conditions. Before your appointment, our experts will assess your skin and match you with the right microneedling treatment for your needs.

Microneedling is a less expensive alternative to laser treatments that can achieve amazing results. Microneedling does not use laser heat like laser treatments, which means it will work better for darker skin tones that won’t affect skin’s pigmentation and color. We have perfected the Microneedling procedure here at Zapped and we offer a safe, effective treatment that will generate long-lasting results. With all the benefits from reducing wrinkles and lines, treating scars and sun damage, and helping to prevent anti-aging, Microneedling is a great choice to give you youthful skin.
