Best Types of Microneedling Treatment in Charleston, SC

If you're looking to rejuvenate your skin and achieve a confident, radiant glow, microneedling treatments at Monarch Esthetics in Charleston are a must-try. From stimulating collagen production to visibly improving skin tone and texture, microneedling offers a powerful, science-backed solution for a range of skin concerns. At Monarch Esthetics, we specialize in delivering top-tier microneedling treatments that are safe, effective, and tailored to your unique skin needs.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using small needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of skin. This encourages the body’s natural healing process, resulting in improved texture and appearance of skin. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, two key components for firm, youthful skin. Here’s why microneedling is so highly regarded in the world of skin rejuvenation:  

  • Firmer, Tighter Skin: Microneedling kickstarts collagen production, helping to restore your skin’s natural elasticity and suppleness.  
  • Reduction in Scars and Wrinkles: Wave goodbye to fine lines, acne scars, and imperfections. Microneedling minimizes their appearance for smoother skin.  
  • Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Achieve an even-toned, refined complexion with a youthful glow.  
  • Quick Recovery Time: With minimal downtime, you can resume your daily activities shortly after treatment.  
  • Personalized Care: At Monarch Esthetics, our treatments are customized to address your specific skin concerns and goals.  

Monarch Esthetics Microneedling Treatments

Monarch Esthetics offers two elite microneedling treatments tailored to cater to individual skin needs. Whether you’re looking for advanced solutions or a customizable approach, we’ve got you covered.

Potenza RF Microneedling

The Potenza RF microneedling treatment combines traditional microneedling with advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy for unparalleled results. It addresses numerous skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sagging skin, by penetrating deep into the skin layers.  

Key Benefits:  

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin at a deeper level for firmer, smoother skin.
  • Effectively reduces acne scars, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
  • Safe for all skin types, ensuring optimum care for anyone.
  • Offers full-face rejuvenation or targeted treatment for specific areas.

Potenza's combination of RF energy and microneedling makes it the ultimate go-to for tighter, more youthful-looking skin.  

Standard Microneedling with Enhancements

For those seeking an extra boost, Monarch Esthetics’ standard microneedling experience is fully customizable with cutting-edge enhancements. These options allow your provider to cater treatments to your unique needs, ensuring stellar, personalized results.  

Boosters You Can Choose From:  

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Supercharge healing and collagen production using your body’s own growth factors.
  • Salmon DNA: A potent infusion that hydrates and revitalizes aging skin.
  • Retinol Infusion: Stimulate cell turnover for brighter, healthier skin.
  • Sculptra: Boost collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.

With enhancements and expert techniques, this treatment effectively shrinks pore size, improves skin texture, and addresses wrinkles or scars.  

Does Microneedling Hurt?

No, microneedling should not hurt if performed by a trained professional. The procedure may cause some mild discomfort or tingling sensation, but it is generally well-tolerated. Your skin may feel slightly sensitive to touch after the treatment, but any redness or irritation should subside within a few days.

It's important to note that everyone's pain tolerance and sensitivity levels are different, so it's always best to communicate any discomfort with your esthetician during the session. They can adjust the intensity of the treatment accordingly to ensure your comfort.

Overall, many clients report minimal discomfort during microneedling and find it to be a relatively painless procedure with significant results. It is also considered safe for all skin types and tones.

What can I expect after treatment?

The recovery time after microneedling is relatively short, usually only a few days. During this time, it is important to follow proper aftercare instructions provided by your professional.

In terms of results, some individuals may see an immediate improvement in their skin's appearance, while others may see gradual changes over several weeks as collagen production increases. It is recommended to undergo multiple sessions for optimal results.

Aftercare and Maintenance Tips

Following a microneedling session, it is important to properly care for your skin in order to get the best results. Here are some aftercare tips to keep in mind:

  1. Avoid touching your face for at least 24 hours after the procedure to prevent spreading bacteria and causing infection.
  1. Avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least 48 hours after microneedling, as your skin will be more sensitive and prone to sun damage.
  1. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer recommended by your professional to keep your skin hydrated and clean.
  1. Do not use any exfoliating products or harsh chemicals on your face for at least one week after the procedure.
  1. It is normal for your skin to feel slightly tight and dry after microneedling, so make sure to drink plenty of water to keep it hydrated from the inside out.
  1. Avoid strenuous activity that may cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
  1. Do not apply any makeup or other skincare products on your face until the day after microneedling.
  1. Your professional may recommend specific serums or creams to use during the healing process, follow their instructions carefully.
  1. Follow up with your professional for any concerns or questions you may have about the healing process.
