At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we offer a variety of skin rejuvenation treatments including Microneedling and Botox. Both are popular methods for enhancing skin appearance but function differently and offer unique benefits.

Microneedling, one of our minimally invasive procedures, uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin surface. This action supports your body’s natural healing mechanism by increasing collagen and elastin production. These proteins are essential for skin strength and elasticity. The results of microneedling include improved skin texture, and reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. The procedure is appropriate for all kinds of skin and can be performed on almost any place of the body.

Botox, a neurotoxin, functions by temporarily immobilizing muscles and inhibiting nerve signals. This method effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by facial expressions, particularly ‘dynamic’ wrinkles that appear when the face is in motion. Botox results can be seen within a week and usually last between three to six months.

While microneedling might appeal to those seeking a natural approach to skin rejuvenation, Botox may be preferred by individuals targeting dynamic wrinkles. Microneedling outcomes are moderate and may require repeated sessions, whereas Botox produces faster improvements. However, these treatments can complement each other, with Botox addressing dynamic wrinkles and microneedling improving skin texture and tone.

Microneedling, available at Aspire Medical Aesthetics, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation technique that has gained significant popularity in recent years. This cosmetic procedure involves using a handheld device with tiny needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. This method aims to increase the creation of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for preserving skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and look.

The scientific rationale behind microneedling, as practiced at Aspire Medical Aesthetics, operates on the principle of collagen induction therapy. By creating micro-injuries to the skin, it sends signals to the body’s fibroblasts, cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This initiates a cascading series of events, including inflammation, wound healing, and tissue remodeling. As a result, new elastin and collagen fibers are formed, strengthening the dermal layer, improving skin suppleness, and creating a more youthful and bright complexion.

Microneedling is a proven method for addressing skin issues like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation by stimulating collagen and elastin production, reducing imperfections, and enhancing the absorption of topical skincare products, as supported by clinical research.

However, while microneedling can enhance the appearance of the skin, it can’t completely erase deep wrinkles or severe acne scars. The efficacy of microneedling varies according to individual characteristics such as age, skin type, the severity of the skin conditions being treated, and the number of treatments. Some individuals may require multiple treatments or a combination of therapies to achieve optimal results.

The cost of microneedling at Aspire Medical Aesthetics is a factor to consider. The cost varies according to the provider you choose, but it usually runs between $200 and $700 per session.

We offer various skincare treatments including microneedling, which has become increasingly popular due to its potential to address a range of skin conditions. However, we understand that it isn’t a universal solution and may not be suitable for everyone.

Ideal candidates for microneedling are generally healthy as the procedure involves creating minuscule punctures in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. It may not be suitable for those with poor overall health as they may face complications or a slowed healing process.

Microneedling can be highly beneficial for those with specific issues such as acne scars, wrinkles, or an uneven skin tone. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, we can improve the appearance of these skin issues, helping your skin look younger and firmer.

Additionally, if you’re looking to enhance the effectiveness of your skincare products, microneedling can help. The procedure creates tiny channels in the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of these products, thereby boosting their effects.

We also advise those who have recently undergone radiation therapy to avoid microneedling due to possible skin sensitivity. Pregnant women are generally advised to steer clear of the procedure, as its safety during pregnancy has not been definitively confirmed.

At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we recognize the value of skin that is beautiful and healthy. That’s why we offer microneedling, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s gaining popularity for its effectiveness in treating various skin concerns such as acne scars, and wrinkles, and improving skin texture.

If you’re considering microneedling, it’s important to understand that the frequency of treatments can differ significantly. This depends on various factors, including your skin condition, the results you’re hoping to achieve, and the type of device used.

Typically, we suggest an initial series of 3-4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This schedule allows your skin to undergo controlled trauma, stimulate collagen production, and gradually repair itself. It allows your skin enough time to repair and develop new collagen and elastin, which are necessary for smoother, healthier skin.

After completing the initial phase, follow-up treatments at our clinic may be necessary to maintain the results you love. These treatments are capable of being spaced out further, usually every 6-12 months. If you’re dealing with deep acne scars, you may require more frequent visits, possibly every 2 to 3 weeks, as such conditions require a more aggressive approach for noticeable improvements.

If you’re seeking microneedling for anti-aging benefits such as wrinkle reduction and improved skin firmness, we may suggest less frequent procedures, about every 2 to 3 months.

We also understand that different devices and techniques result in various levels of skin trauma. Deeper microneedling treatments may require a longer healing period and less frequent sessions. Also, thinner, more sensitive skin may require less frequent treatments than thicker, more resilient skin. If you have active acne or rosacea, we’ll carefully consider treatment intervals to avoid potential irritation.

In general, the duration of a full microneedling regimen varies, but most of our patients can expect to undergo at least 3 to 6 treatments over several months. However, we know that everyone’s skin is unique and responds differently to treatments. That’s why we tailor your microneedling frequency based on a consultation with our qualified skincare professionals.

At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we also emphasize the importance of proper skincare between sessions. Protecting your skin from the sun, keeping it hydrated, and using appropriate skincare products that aid in healing and rejuvenation helps maximize the benefits of microneedling and achieve better, long-lasting results.
