THE MICRONEEDLING DIFFERENCE
Acne scars? Loose skin? Fine lines and wrinkles? Stretch marks? Large pore size? Sun damage? Pigmentation? Poor skin texture? There’s one great solution for all imperfections that activates your natural healing to reverse them: Microneedling. Forget about more invasive skin rejuvenation procedures like plastic surgery. Microneedling is in high demand because it is a procedure with minimal downtime and minimal discomfort, and can be performed any time of the year as a safe option for skin of color!
MICRONEEDLING AT A GLANCE
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is regarded as one of the most effective and promising procedures for overall skin rejuvenation. And at Springs Dermatology MD our board-certified dermatologists offer the best Microneedling in Sandy Springs and Metro Atlanta, using the highly effective, FDA-approved devices SkinPen® and Rejuvapen®.
THE TREATMENT DIFFERENCE
SkinPen® and Rejuvapen® make micro-injuries using tiny needles. This stimulates tissue remodeling through your body’s natural wound healing processes with minimal damage to the skin. Boosting collagen under your skin, Microneedling increases blood flow back to your skin’s surface. The result? Smoother and brighter skin tone and texture. For even better and faster results, Microneedling can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), Biopelle intensive serum, or other boosters. At Springs Dermatology MD, Microneedling is an art and science.
