MICRONEEDLING - ARTAVI MED SPA - HOUSTON HEIGHTS

Revitalize Your Skin

Artavi Med Spa currently offers microneedling treatments using the innovative Rejuvapen system. Microneedling is used as a method to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, and surgical scars. It provides impressive results after just one treatment and can be comparable to results given by fractional lasers and photofacials. Treatment with Rejuvapen also results in plumper, tighter, and glowing skin providing a younger and fresher look.

Why Choose Microneedling?

The microneedling pen creates tiny, controlled injuries on the skin, opening up micro channels for a brief time. This allows skin-enhancing products to be fully and deeply absorbed, achieving results far beyond any facial treatment. Additionally, the process stimulates collagen production and promotes the growth of new, flawless skin.

MICRONEEDLING PROCEDURE

What to Expect

During the microneedling procedure, a topical numbing cream is initially applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. Once the area is numb, your practitioner uses a specialized microneedling device with tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most patients feeling only a mild pricking sensation. For enhanced results, you have the option to add PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to the procedure, which can further enhance healing and rejuvenation.

- Post-Treatment Care -

After the procedure, your skin may appear red and feel slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Avoid sun exposure, intense physical activities, and the use of harsh skincare products for the first couple of days. Optimal results will continue to develop over several weeks, revealing rejuvenated and smoother skin.
