Skin Pen Microneedling in Choctaw, Oklahoma (OK)
At Tess Aesthetics, we’re committed to offering effective skincare solutions that meet the real needs of our community here in Choctaw, Oklahoma.
Our Skin Pen Microneedling service is a clinically proven treatment designed for anyone wanting to improve their skin’s health and appearance.
What is Skin Pen Microneedling?
Skin Pen Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, uses a device with small needles to make tiny punctures in the top layer of your skin.
This triggers your skin’s natural healing process, boosting the production of collagen and elastin.
The result? Firmer, smoother, and more vibrant skin.
How Does Skin Pen Microneedling Work?
During the treatment, we use the SkinPen, the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA, which means it meets high standards for safety and effectiveness.
The device’s needles create micro-channels in the skin, which allow for deeper absorption of serums tailored to your skin’s needs, making the treatment more effective.
Who Is Skin Pen Microneedling For?
This treatment is versatile. It’s suitable for all skin types and is especially effective for addressing:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other types of scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Large pores
- Stretch marks
Benefits of The First FDA-Cleared Microneedling Device
Here’s what you can expect when you choose this treatment at Tess Aesthetics:
#1 Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone
Microneedling effectively smooths out the skin’s texture and evens out tone, reducing the appearance of scars, hyperpigmentation, and large pores.
Regular treatments can help maintain a smoother, more uniform skin surface.
#2 Reduced Signs of Aging
As microneedling boosts collagen and elastin production, it naturally firms up the skin, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
It’s a fantastic way to keep your skin looking youthful without the need for fillers or more aggressive laser treatments.
#3 Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime
Unlike surgical options, microneedling is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime.
Most clients experience only minor redness and swelling for a few days after the procedure, making it an ideal choice for those with busy lifestyles.
#4 Improved the Effectiveness of Topical Products
The micro-channels created during the microneedling process allow for deeper penetration of skincare products.
This improves their effectiveness, helping you get more out of your at-home skincare regimen.
#5 Safe for All Skin Types
Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and colors. It does not involve heat, which minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation, a common concern with some other rejuvenation techniques, especially in darker skin tones.
#6 Versatility
This procedure isn’t just for the face, it can be used on many areas of the body that require rejuvenation, such as the neck, chest, hands, and areas with stretch marks.
#7 Long-Lasting Results
With a series of treatments, microneedling can produce results that last. As the underlying skin continues to produce new collagen and elastin, you’ll see improvements in the skin’s structure and resilience over time.
What to Expect During the Treatment
First, we’ll apply a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. The microneedling itself takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
You may feel a light sensation, but most people find it quite manageable.
What to Expect After the Treatment
You might notice some redness and swelling right after the treatment, similar to a sunburn, but this usually subsides quickly. To help with your recovery, we provide a few post-care products to take home.
Immediately after the treatment, we provide LIFT HG gel and a Bio-Cellulose Masque (a sterile water sheet mask) to aid your recovery.
Additionally, we give you the Rescue Calming Complex to use from days 2 to 4 post-treatment, helping soothe and heal the skin. You can expect to see initial improvements within a week. For the best results, we generally recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments.
Is Skin Pen Microneedling painful?
Most people experience little to no pain thanks to the numbing cream we apply beforehand.
How long does each session last?
Sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes, based on the area being treated.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
You might notice changes after just one session, but for the best outcomes, we recommend a series of 3-6 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
It’s best to skip makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to let your skin heal.
What are the possible side effects?
The most common are minor redness and swelling, which typically clear up within a few days.
How do I care for my skin after microneedling?
Keep your skin clean and moisturized, and don’t forget to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
Who should avoid microneedling?
Microneedling is not suitable for those with active skin infections, certain chronic skin conditions, or anyone on particular medications like blood thinners.
It should also be avoided if you are pregnant or nursing, and if you’re on medications that contain the ingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane).
