What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen, a protein that builds the connective tissues in your body. Collagen keeps your skin supple, tight, and buoyant. When you press a finger to your skin, it bounces back due to abundant collagen. 

As you age, your body produces less collagen, causing your skin to thin, wrinkle, and sag. Microneedling can help stimulate collagen and encourage cell turnover to promote tighter, more luminous skin. With minimal downtime and short treatments, microneedling may improve the tone and texture of your skin.

How does microneedling work?

The Dermafrac microneedling device contains dozens of hair-thin needles. Once the needles penetrate your skin, they create micro-injuries that trigger your body’s healing response. This activation creates new collagen to help repair the damage. As your body produces new collagen and strengthens existing fibers, your skin becomes firmer, tighter, and clearer.

DermaFrac also infuses your skin with serums to enhance its effects. Infusion is a unique feature of the DermaFrac device that can deliver nourishing products (such as Vitamin C) into your skin for maximum benefits. 

Microneedling with DermaFrac aims to hydrate, clarify, rejuvenate, and brighten aging skin. These solutions even contain growth factors to tighten and firm your skin.

What skin concerns can microneedling address?

Microneedling can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Brown spots
• Sun damage
• Skin laxity
• Uneven skin tone or texture
• Hyperpigmentation
• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores

After a microneedling treatment, your skin may feel softer and smoother and appear brighter. 

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

While you may see visible improvements in your skin after one treatment, most people need 3-6 microneedling sessions to achieve optimal results. Zayda spaces your treatments out by 2-6 weeks to protect your skin.

How long do microneedling results last?

Microneedling results typically last for about 3-6 months. You can maintain your results by visiting for routine treatments. Zayda may also recommend combining your treatments with chemical peels, Botox® and fillers, and other cosmetic procedures to extend your results. Zayda can create a custom treatment plan that targets your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals.
