Before your microneedling session begins, our Licensed Medical Aesthetician, Melissa Valdez, attaches a new sterile 14-needle cartridge to the Eclipse MicroPen EVO. She then selects the appropriate needle penetration depth based on your treatment needs.
A topical anesthetic and a thin layer of sterile saline are then applied to your skin. Next, in a single motion, the pen is gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding across in one direction. This is repeated until the entire treatment area has been covered. Depending on your needs, a second pass may be made. As soon as Melissa has completed the passes, an oatmeal extract with vitamin E is applied to your skin to calm it and start the healing process.
You’d think this would be a painful treatment, but it’s not. Applying topical anesthetic prior to your microneedling session keeps you comfortable. Patients equate the feeling as akin to having a piece of light sandpaper moved across the skin.
