Microneedling in McLean, VA
Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure known to be used in improving skin texture and appearance by stimulating collagen production. At DermaGlow MedSpa, we use SkinPen® for this advanced treatment, a device featuring tiny needles that create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries prompt the body’s natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, Microneedling is highly effective in addressing a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. This procedure can be applied to different areas, such as the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and other body parts, to enhance overall skin texture and tone. The procedure is minimally invasive, which allows individuals to achieve significant improvements without the need for extensive downtime or recovery.
Microneedling in McLean, VA, is suitable for individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, or other skin imperfections. It is ideal for those who desire a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Most people start seeing noticeable results after a few sessions, with visible skin texture and tone improvements typically appearing within four to six weeks after treatment. The results of Microneedling can last several months, depending on individual skin conditions and care routines. Regular maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain these improvements over time.
