Microneedling in Charlotte, North Carolina (NC) ⏐ Retexturizing Your Skin
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure involving tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin.
This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production, essential for maintaining healthy, youthful skin.
Benefits of Microneedling
Improves Skin Texture:
Smooths out rough patches and enhances skin tone.
Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines:
Targets signs of aging for a more youthful appearance.
Minimizes Scars and Stretch Marks:
Effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
Enhances Skin Radiance:
Promotes a brighter and more even skin tone.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling works on the principle of controlled skin injury. The micro-injuries created by the needles trigger the body’s healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This results in improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Types of Microneedling Treatments
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen is a popular and effective, FDA cleared, microneedling device. It involves the use of a pen-like device with tiny needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. SkinPen is known for its precision and ability to treat various skin concerns, including: - Acne Scars: Reduces the appearance of acne scars by promoting collagen production and skin remodeling. - Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look. -Overall Skin Texture: Improves the texture and tone of the skin, making it smoother and more radiant.
Morpheus8 Microneedling
Morpheus8 takes microneedling to the next level by combining it with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This combination allows for deeper penetration and more significant skin remodeling. Morpheus8 is ideal for: Deep Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The addition of RF energy tightens and firms the skin, reducing the appearance of deeper wrinkles. Skin Tightening: The RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and skin tightening. Body Treatments: Morpheus8 is effective for treating larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and back, as well as smaller areas like the upper arms and lower legs.
Microneedling Indications

- Acne Scars: Reduces the appearance of scars left by acne.
- Surgical Scars: Helps to improve the texture and appearance of surgical scars.
- Stretch Marks: Minimizes the visibility of stretch marks on various parts of the body.

- Sun Damage: Helps to repair skin damaged by sun exposure, improving overall skin tone and texture.

When to Choose Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is better suited for those looking to achieve more intensive skin tightening and remodeling. It is ideal for individuals with deeper wrinkles, significant skin laxity, or those looking to treat larger areas of the body. The addition of RF energy allows for enhanced collagen production and deeper skin penetration, providing more dramatic results.
When to Choose SkinPen
