Microneedle
What’s Microneedling?
About the procedure: Micro-needling is performed in a safe and precise manner with a single-use sterile needle head. We create controlled wounds to the outermost layer of the skin which stimulates collagen and elastin. Thus, inducing new healthy tissue surrounding the area. This treatment is often used to treat acne, reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and other skin conditions. A series of treatments is recommended for maximum results.
What’s the difference between traditional and rf?
Traditional Microneedling:
Involves the use of fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production, which leads to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Traditional microneedling is effective for treating a variety of skin concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin texture.
Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling:
Combines traditional microneedling with the added benefit of radiofrequency energy. As the needles penetrate the skin, they deliver RF energy deep into the dermis. This added heat further stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhances skin tightening, and can be more effective for deeper skin issues like wrinkles, skin laxity, and more significant textural concerns. The RF energy makes the treatment more intense and generally more effective, especially for those looking to achieve more dramatic results.
In summary, while both treatments stimulate collagen production, RF microneedling goes a step further by delivering heat energy to the deeper layers of the skin, making it a more advanced option for skin rejuvenation.
Please advise if you have melasma this treatment could make it worse. We will not proceed with the treatment.*

Numbing cream is used as a topical application for temporary pain relief prior to my cosmetic treatment. I certify by signing this consent that I do not have any of the following allergies to local anesthetics such as procaine, butacaine, benzocaine, lidocaine, or other "caine" anesthetics.
For optimal results, microneedling is recommended in a series of three treatments. Each session builds on the previous one, with the second and third treatments being more intensive to enhance the overall effectiveness.
Pain: You may experience slight burning, scratchiness, tingling or irritation of the skin. These sensations are usually temporary and typically subside within a few hours after treatment.
Picking: Avoid picking at the skin during the healing period, as this can lead to hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
Redness/Swelling/Bruising/Scabbing:: After the procedure, your skin may be red, with mild swelling and/or bruising, and it might feel tight and sensitive to the touch. This is a normal part of the healing process. If you experience persistent redness or swelling, please contact our office. Itching is also normal as the skin begins to peel. To aid in healing and recovery, we recommend using Lux MD Medical Repair Cream, which can be purchased from Foreverbyash at the time of service for $40.
Scarring: While normal healing is expected after the procedure, there is a possibility of developing abnormal scars in both the skin and deeper tissues. In rare cases, this may result in thickened or keloid scars.
Must be 18 years or older to receive service.
