Microneedling
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is an innovative and advanced anti-aging therapy designed to gently penetrate the skin to stimulate the regrowth of collagen. It effectively and safely improves the overall texture and tone of your skin, leaving you with a vibrant, glowing and naturally younger looking appearance.
Ideal for:
Improving the appearance of acne scars
Eliminating fine wrinkles
Minimizing pore sizes
Improving the appearance of stretch marks
Treats and improves alopecia
At Willow Tree Body and Skin Care, we are dedicated to bringing our clients the most exclusive, advanced and safest natural anti-aging therapies.
Microneedling is an innovative cosmetic procedure that uses a device covered with tiny, shallow needles to cause a ‘micro-injury’. This prompts the skin to stimulate collagen production. In this way, it promotes smoother, softer, and more youthful-looking skin after just 4-5 treatment sessions!
It can be used effectively for a number of concerns, including:
Fine lines and deep wrinkles
Scars caused by acne or surgery
Skin pigmentation issues
Skin that has lost its plump, youthful appearance
Stimulates blood circulation
Encourages the production of collagen
Stimulates tissue regeneration
Minimally-invasive
Requires little or no downtime
Can be performed on all skin types
It can be used on multiple areas of the face including your scalp and the more delicate skin around your eyes
Duration:
Collagen Induction Therapy is an in-office procedure and while treatment time varies depending on the targeted area, it typically takes 45 minutes up to 2 hours.
Number of treatments:
Depending on the area being treated, a series of 3-6 treatments spread 4-6 weeks apart is recommended to experience the full benefits of microneedling.
Results:
It is typical to experience some inflammation, redness and skin peeling for a few days after the treatment. However, these side effects quickly resolve themselves and you will see visible improvements in your skin within one week of the procedure.

How to Care For Your Skin Before and After a Microneedling Treatment
How to Care For Your Skin Before and After a Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is an extremely safe and effective cosmetic procedure. However, as with all treatments, it’s essential to take special care of your skin before and after the procedure for fast recovery and best results.
Microneedling Pre-Treatment Instructions
Following the right pre-treatment instructions ensures that your treatment will go smoothly and helps minimize side effects.
Pre-Treatment Tips:
- Avoid Accutane in the six months prior to beginning your treatment sessions.
- Do not use topical agents that may increase the sensitivity of your skin such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics or acids 5-7 days prior to your treatment.
- Do not take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, Motrin, or Advil for at least 3 days prior to your microneedling session. These will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical for your skin rejuvenation.
- Avoid IPL/Laser procedures, unprotected sun exposure, or sunburn for at least 2 weeks prior to your procedure.
- No waxing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis to the area being treated for 5-7 days prior.
- Do not shave the day of the procedure to avoid skin irritation. If there’s dense hair present in the treatment area, shave the day before you arrive for your appointment.
- If you’re prone to cold sores, take an antiviral agent for 2 days prior to and the day of the treatment.
- Avoid blood thinning agents for one week prior because bruising is a common side effect of microneedling.
Day of Treatment:
Knowing what to expect on the day of your microneedling treatment will make this procedure as comfortable and anxiety-free as possible for you.
What To Expect At Your Appointment:
Your skin will be cleaned so it’s free of lotion, oil, makeup, powder, or sunscreen. If you wish, you can wash your face in the office upon arrival.
You will be asked to inform your skin care specialist about any relevant changes in your medical history and of all the medications you’re taking.
Your specialist will ask if there are any cosmetic tattoos in the treatment areas.
30-45 minutes prior to your treatment, topical lidocaine will be applied to your skin.
The microneedling treatment is an in-office procedure that typically takes up to 60 minutes to complete.
Post-Treatment Instructions:
As with any cosmetic skin treatment, it’s important to look after your skin following a microneedling procedure for best results.
Post-Treatment Tips:
Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications for one week after the procedure.
Do not use ice on your face, and avoid using arnica/bromelain. These may interfere with the natural inflammatory process that’s critical for your skin rejuvenation.
Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks. After 24 hours, always use sunblock (30 SPF or higher) and wear a hat if you’re outside.
Use a painkiller, such as Tylenol, if you experience any soreness.
The Healing Process: What to Expect After a Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a quick and non-invasive cosmetic procedure with minimal side effects.
However, it’s quite normal to experience the following:
Day 1-3
A sunburn-like effect is normal. Your skin may feel tight, dry or sensitive to touch. Treat the skin gently by washing it with a gentle cleanser, cool water, and using only your hands to pat dry no earlier than 4 hours after treatment.
Some redness may also be present and in some cases, patients may experience slight bruising that can last for 5-7 days and temporary swelling for 2-4 days.
Avoid strenuous exercises that cause sweating as well as jacuzzi, saunas, and steam baths for up to 48 hours.
Use only mineral makeup after 24 hours.
Sleep on your back with the head of the bed elevated to minimize swelling or pain as needed.
Day 2-7
Peeling may start 3-5 days after the treatment. You’ll notice skin dryness and flaking which is due to an increased turnover of skin cells. DO NOT pick, scratch, or scrub at treated skin!
Important information: You must allow the old skin to flake off naturally and keep it moisturized at all times. Talk to your skin specialist about which products to use.
Day 5-7
You may start your regular skin care products again, once your skin no longer feels irritated. Most of our clients have noticed continued skin improvement over the months following their last treatment.
For best results: We recommend follow-up and repeat microneedling treatments every 4-6 weeks, with a series of 3-5 treatments depending on your personalized care plan.
