Microneedling
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation technique that stimulates natural collagen production to reverse the signs of aging. The microneedling device creates thousands of micro-punctures on the uppermost layers of the skin, which activates the body’s innate healing processes. Your body produces new collagen fibers and skin cells, making your skin look smooth, firm, taut, and youthful. Microneedling in Missoula can treat a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation problems, and textural irregularities.

How Microneedling Works
Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes your skin look firm, taut, and youthful. It binds skin tissues together and prevents them from sagging down because of gravity. The loss of collagen because of age is the primary reason for the onset of facial wrinkles. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, works by stimulating your body’s innate healing processes, such as collagen production and skin cell regeneration. As such, microneedling effectively reverses the effects of age on your body.
During a microneedling treatment, the microneedling device makes thousands of micro-punctures at a depth of 2.5 – 4mm, i.e., just enough to stimulate your body’s healing processes without injuring your skin. Your body responds to the micro-injuries by stimulating collagen production and skin cell regeneration. Over time, the damaged skin cells are replaced by healthier skin cells, and your skin’s increased collagen reserves make you look youthful. The results appear gradually over several weeks and months.

The Microneedling Treatment Process
1. Consultation
Your microneedling journey starts with a thorough evaluation with Francienne. She carefully examines your facial skin, discusses your goals and concerns, reviews your health history, and curates a personalized treatment plan. Based on your skin concerns, she will determine if you can benefit from some vitamin-rich serums with your treatment.
2. Treatment
During your microneedling in Missoula treatment, the cosmetic provider will apply a numbing cream on your skin to ensure a comfortable experience. The microneedling device consists of extremely small needles that puncture up to 4mm into your skin, just enough to stimulate natural regeneration without damaging your skin. After the treatment, a soothing gel is applied to your skin.
3. Recovery
Microneedling doesn’t involve harsh side effects or downtime. You can resume your daily activities and work immediately after microneedling, but you should avoid direct sunlight, strenuous workouts, and swimming for a day or until the side effects persist. The post-treatment side effects, such as redness, swelling, and tenderness, should dissipate within two days.
Your Microneedling Results
Microneedling works by stimulating natural collagen production, so the results are also completely natural. You will notice continued improvements in your facial skin over several weeks as your body produces new collagen fibers. You may need additional sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
